The private ferry had been knocked out of service for some time following Hurricane Sandy, which wreaked havoc on some of the communities served by Seastreak.
For Basile, the crash was just the latest blow.
"I'm actually displaced right now because of Sandy so this is definitely not my year," she said.
In 2003, 11 people were killed and dozens more were injured when the Staten Island ferry crashed full-speed into a concrete pier.
The captain of the vessel, Richard Smith, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to 11 seaman's manslaughter charges.
