Business Leaders Celebrate Launch of Stamford-to-Citi Field Ferry Service on Mets Game Days

QUEENS, NY (June 2, 2026)— On Saturday, business leaders from both sides of the Long Island Sound gathered in Stamford, Connecticut to celebrate the launch of Seastreak's new Mets Game Day Cruise – a ferry service that connects Stamford, Connecticut directly to Citi Field, providing fans with a convenient, scenic, and stress-free way to attend Mets home games.

The new service, departing from Stamford's Harbor Point area, transports Mets fans directly to the World's Fair Marina, just steps from Citi Field. The approximately 75-minute voyage offers a unique and stress-free alternative to congested highways and rail connections, turning the trip to the ballpark into part of the overall fan experience.
The service will operate for select Mets home games throughout the season and offers both ferry-only tickets and combined ferry-and-game-ticket packages.

"This is exactly the kind of creative regional connection that benefits everyone involved," said Tom Grech, President and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce. "Queens is home to Citi Field, one of the premier sports and entertainment destinations in the country, and we're excited to welcome even more visitors from Stamford and Fairfield County. This ferry service makes it easier than ever for Connecticut Mets fans to enjoy a day in Queens while supporting our local economy. It's also a reminder that our region is deeply interconnected, and that stronger transportation links create new opportunities for tourism, commerce, and economic growth on both sides of the Sound."

The New York Mets welcomed the launch as another way to enhance the fan experience.

“Everything we do in and around the ballpark is focused on creating a world class fan experience, and that journey begins the moment our fans leave their homes to come to Citi Field,” said Lew Sherr, President of Business Operations, New York Mets. “Thanks to the commitment from our ownership and the collaboration of many partners, there are now more ways than ever for fans to get to Citi Field, and this new Stamford ferry service is an exciting example of how we are continuing to make game days more convenient and accessible for our fans.”

The Stamford Chamber of Commerce also praised the new service as a unique amenity for local residents and an example of growing regional collaboration.

“It was a wonderful day celebrating this exciting new way of transportation aboard Seastreak’s ferry to the Mets game from Stamford to Citi Field with our partners,” said Heather Cavanagh, President and CEO of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce. “The economic impact of this public-private ferry service to the Mets games drives localized business growth, supports traffic mitigation, and reduces congestion on the roadways, encourages job creation, and creates tourism opportunities for both of our cities. The pre- and post-game crowds provide a direct boost to local hospitality, food, and beverage revenues for the restaurants and businesses. This creates a mutually beneficial outcome for everyone involved.”

Seastreak officials noted that the service transforms transportation into a signature part of the fan experience.
“Getting to a Mets game from Stamford should be easy and enjoyable, and that’s exactly what this service delivers,” said James D. Barker, President of Seastreak. “We’re proud to offer this new route in partnership with our partners in Stamford, Queens, and the Mets organization, providing a fast, stress-free, and more premium way for fans to get to Citi Field. This builds on the service we began in 2025 from Highlands NJ, Staten Island, and East 35th Street, which already connects fans to most Mets games, with Stamford representing a natural expansion for 2026. The trip itself becomes part of the day, offering a straightforward and comfortable alternative to driving or the train. As Queens continues to grow as a destination for major events, from tennis to soccer to live entertainment, we see continued opportunity to connect more communities to the borough by water.”

The new route arrives at a time when Queens continues to grow as a destination for sports, entertainment, and tourism. From Citi Field and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to transformative projects such as Metropolitan Park and Etihad Park, New York City's first soccer-specific stadium, the borough is attracting unprecedented investment that promises to draw visitors from across the region.
