Awesome Experience!! - This was a fun way to see the Statue of Liberty! We love boating, but didn’t want the long hot big boat tours. The smaller more personalized experience with the speed of the boat and cooling mist made it the perfect experience for us!! Thanks Brian, you were an awesome tour guide and boat captain!

10/10 Recommend to all ages! - 10/10- Such a great tour! We almost went on a larger boat, but last min decided on this one because it was so much smaller and would take a lot less time getting on and off from lack of fighting a crowd. I am so glad we did! There was 7 in my party, age ranging from 10-69 & everywhere in between. The boat holds 12. We were the only ones on the boat and did the 530pm ride and it was perfect. Our captain was great, very accommodating & knowledgeable. The boat was not crazy with twists and turns, but went fast and was very fun. We got ample time to take photos & he took group photos for us. Will be back and definitely recommend!! 10/10

If you only do 1 river trip make it this one - This is a rib type vessel and is very fast you get to cover a large area in the hour. The guide was great telling you information al all the viewing points and there are quite a few. The best been at the Statue of Liberty where you get really close for some great photos. Definitely the gest river trip in New York

Lucky day - Best excursion in New York hands down! Eric, the captain, took us on a 30 minute thrilling ride full of amazing views! He began with stopping in front of lower Manhattan, followed by pictures in front of Brooklyn Bridge, history of Governor's Island, stopping right in front of The Statue of Liberty and takings amazing pictures, history on Ellis Island and back to the front of Manhattan Skyline before heading back to the dock. 100% recommended

À Must do in nyc - Short sweet and efficient for a short star in New York ! We did not want to spend too much time on a ferry trip so that is highly recommended

Great thirty minute tour on the water - Capt. Sherry was wonderful, thorough, and thoughtful. She took great care of us on our 30 minute trip. We all enjoyed getting on the water and seeing so many sights from that vantage point. Will recommend to friends and family.

The best boat trip ever! - We visited from UK with our 6 year old daughter. It was a fantastic experience, so much fun and an awesome way to see all the sights of NYC from the rivers. Captain Sherri was brilliant, really knowledgeable and friendly. The whole time we were on the boat our daughter was squealing with delight and shouting “this is the best day of my life”, which sums it up. Definitely recommended!
