Ferries provide an interesting alternative to getting around New York. The most famous ferry is the Staten Island Ferry www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/ferrybus/statfery.shtml, running from the tip of Manhattan at Battery Park to Staten Island. The ferry carries passengers and bicycles only, runs every 15 minutes during rush hours, and is free. As it gives a really good view of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor on its way, this is a very popular trip for visitors. Ride on the starboard (right facing forward) side of the ferry from Manhattan and the port side from Staten Island for the best views (to the west).
Most of the other ferries you will see are operated by New York Waterway www.nywaterway.com, connect the city with the New Jersey Hudson River Waterfront and are not free. Inquire as to fares before boarding.
New York Water Taxi www.nywatertaxi.com runs ferries between points within Manhattan, with some connections to Brooklyn and New Jersey. Their boats are painted to look like taxis.
