NJ ferry service now offering rides to NY MLB games

Baseball season is always exciting here in New Jersey. Yes, some like to follow teams outside our area, but by and large, those in the Garden State stay loyal to our three local teams.

South Jersey, of course, sticks with its Phillies. North Jersey, on the other hand, is a bit split, with half of them going with the New York Yankees, and the other half going for the New York Mets.

As for Central Jersey? Well, that one's a bit blurred. In fact, I don't even think there's a definitive line as to where the baseball divide is.

By in large, Central Jersey just kind of represents all the teams. But if I had to guess, I'd say those more toward western Central Jersey go with Philly, while those more east go for the Yanks or Mets.

That, of course, isn't set in stone, and there are fans of other baseball teams outside our area. Nevertheless, the three big ones tend to be who New Jerseyans root for.

With that said, there are exciting changes coming to fans of our New York teams. Although both teams aren't benefiting from this change, this new option is sure to make Mets fans happy.

Ferry service has returned

Seastreak Ferry recently announced it's adding ferry trips to select Mets games at Citi Field for the 2025 regular season. And yes, that includes rides out of their Highlands, NJ, port.

Both Yankees and Mets fans have been asking for ferry service from New Jersey to New York City to be the restored. Although this latest announcement didn't include Yankee Stadium at this time, providing service to Citi Field is certainly a step in the right direction.

Hopefully, trips to Yankees games will be added in the near future. As for the Mets? These are the games you can catch by hopping aboard the Seastreak.
