[Life of Riley]

The conditions around Battery Park where the two rivers merge is usually pretty rough due to all the ferry traffic. Once you get north of the Holland Tunnel, sea conditions tend to improve. By the time you reach the Intrepid Sea Museum, it should be pretty calm. If you can time your trip and travel with the incoming and outgoing tides it will make the trip a little easier. Not sure what size boat you have but those ferries tend to create large wakes. Enjoy your trip. It will be worth the ride.
