Not at all. A fast ferry from downtown NYC should take around 20 minutes to get to JFK. It would be easy for them to integrate a marine terminal there, just as they are going to do at LaGuardia airport. It’s a hell of a lot more practical than a helicopter service.
- chrisseaton 7y ago> A fast ferry from downtown NYC should take around 20 minutes to get to JFK. 20 minutes?! It's like 20 miles around Brooklyn. It'd need to be a 60 mph ferry! Does such a thing exist?
- nradov 7y agoSuch ferries do exist (hydrofoil or hovercraft) but sailing through a congested channel at 60 mph would be wildly dangerous. I can't imagine the Coast Guard or port authorities would ever allow it.

- mcot2 7y agoYes this would be a challenge. It may not be able to operate at full speed for the entire duration of the trip, but significant portions it probably could.
- mcot2 7y agoYes. They do exist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSC_Francisco https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSC_Francisco
