There used to be a ferry connecting Perth Amboy to Tottenville, but it got discontinued since the early 60s.

The terminal on the NJ side is still there...I don't know why they haven't considered restoring service as part of nyc ferry , make it a line from Tottenville to the Amboys and then up to Lower Manhattan.

It’s crazy that Perth Amboy is so close to SI, yet it seems so far because of the lack of transit options. NY Waterway could consider a ferry route connecting the two, and from there to downtown Manhattan.

They keep proposing new ferry service from the Amboys / Elizabeth as part of a new development but it never happens...
