The short answer
The registry records NYC Ferry Passenger Transit Fare as a possible interpretation of NYC FERRY BY HORNBLOWER. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why NYC Ferry Billed Your Card
Unreviewed registry note: A bank statement charge appearing as NYC FERRY BY HORNBLOWER represents a water transit payment for your NYC Ferry Passenger Transit Fare. Operated by Hornblower New York under contract with municipal authorities, this transaction covers daily commuter ferry rides across waterways connecting Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island for local residents and visitors.
Unreviewed registry note: Riders encounter this billing descriptor when purchasing single-trip tickets, acquiring discounted multi-ride ticket bundles through the mobile application, or when paying for fares at pier ticket vending kiosks. Because these marine transit fares are processed digitally, charges post immediately upon ticket acquisition without requiring recurring subscription setups.
