Plans for a Coney Island Ferry are back on the table following a failed attempt to bring ferry access to Ferry Landing in Kaiser Park in 2022.

Currently, the NYC Economic Development Corporation is deploying a buoy off the coast of the Steeplechase Pier to see if the area would be able to support a ferry terminal and what the cost would be to open it.

The move comes as a result of a bill passed by Council Member Justin Brannan, who says he wants to build on the success of the Bay Ridge Ferry, currently the southernmost stop of the NYC Ferry system, which is seeing increased ridership year over year.

"This is a case of if you build it they will come, and not just the tourists during the warm weather,” he said.

He hopes the data shows the pier will require minimal investment to activate.

"We could be in a situation where all it takes is a bigger boat, and not substantial infrastructure investment, in which case it should move forward," said Brannan.

But some business owners in the area, who say they don't oppose a ferry outright, worry about what bringing a ferry could mean for increased development in the area. They want to see the results of the study before NYCEDC goes for a second ferry attempt.

"I don't want to see beach erosion, I don't want to see environmental issues, and I don't want to see overdevelopment," said Mermaid Museum Director Adam Rinn.

Visitors on the boardwalk told News 12 that they would support making access easier to Coney Island from the outer boroughs.

"Taking the long train with delays into Manhattan, and then back into Brooklyn – I’d rather take a ferry. I like a boat ride," said Jaden, a Queens resident who took the F train into Coney Island Sunday.

Brannan told News 12 that he does not support the way the initial ferry at Kaiser Park was handled, and believes the pier offers a more convenient access point.

The data from the NYCEDC study is expected to be released within six months.
