The son of legendary supermodel Christie Brinkley, 23-year-old businessman and entrepreneur  Jack Brinkley-Cook has launched a nonstop transportation between Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons. He created his company, called ROVE, with business partner and childhood friend 26-year old Jake Sosne. Together they are providing an incredibly convenient and enjoyable way to travel to the Hamptons.

Using Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans to transport passengers between lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Hampton’s, Rove will offer the most direct form of transportation at a mid-level price point. The company offers by-the-seat, nonstop service. Customers also have the ability to launch a private charter with curbside service or launch a crowdsource, selling unwanted seats back on the ROVE network. ROVE is flexible, convenient, and perfect for last-minute plans. Rather than hiking through midtown or going through Penn Station, ROVE the Mercedes Benz vans depart from  partner hotels in SoHo or Williamsburg and drop you off at some of the most convenient and  coolest spots out east. Coming soon, you will even be able to launch your own ride if you don’t see the route you want. You can take all the seats, or place whichever seats you don’t need back on the Rove network, and gain ride credit for future use for every sold seat. See all the stops here.

 

Upon boarding ROVE, passengers will receive a custom beach tote bag with useful products for the ride. For the inaugural launch, fellow Hamptonite designer Cynthia Rowley created the gift totes stuffed with goodies like; Jaden Smith’s JUST water, RX bar, More Labs, Lukes Organics and Highline Wellness, and of course, Christie Brinkley will be supplying her Bellisima Prosecco on the inaugural runs. Definitely a step up from the unlike Jitney or LIRR!

ROVE is offering nonstop transportation at a midpoint price range. Compared to the only other fast alternatives like an $800.00 ride on BLADE helicopter, ROVE is a much more viable option especially for young people.
