Great experience once in the right line and on the water! - There are multiple boats leaving from the same pier. One loud party boat that nearly caused us to leave because we thought that was our boat/tour. Once we established which line to jump into it was great! Better signs would help with the confusion of which boat. Once boarded and on the water it was great! Would definitely recommend. Staff very friendly too.

Beautiful Sunset Cruise - The cruise was beautiful with the sun setting on the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The staff was courteous and friendly. The directions to the launch were minimal with no signage to help us find the right place. The lack of directions kept this trip from being spectacular.

Perfect views. Average boat. - The boat is just average. Smelled kind of funky on the bottom deck of the boat. The music was an old playlist. BUT, the view, especially it being at sunset, is magnificent! And our bartender was great.

Overpriced - This wasn’t worth what I paid ($120 total for 2 adults). The boat was cold and had a mildew/mold smell inside. (Probably why it was so cold to keep the smell down) We stayed on the outside deck because of it. Inside of boat was old and some areas needed repair/updates. Food was minimal and overpriced ($15 for burger and fries).

Terrible experience - Bad experience, there was no outdoor seating as it said in the description, there was only a small balcony crowded with loud music where it was impossible to take pictures and enjoy the view, the ship was dirty and on the crowded balcony you could smell fried because they cooked chips and burgers for the ship's guests... while the Guide spoke over the speakers the barmaid's voice overlapped to call the sandwich order or whatever and so it was practically impossible to follow the whole explanation. A rowdy and chaotic cruise, to finish while I was waiting to get off the ship I tried to buy a packet of chips, the bartender ripped it from my hands screaming CLOSE! It's CLOSE!!! CLOSE! CLOSE! with a rudeness never seen before... because she claimed that since we were about to dock it was not possible to buy something, just say it politely. There are many other cruises at the same price that are much more polished and refined... do not choose this one at all because it has been a nightmare... it is fine for guys under 20 years or more.
