FANTASTIC TRIP

Jetster18, 29-11-2022

Travelled in June, booked the 1.5-hour trip for my daughter , wife and I and was lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves!"
The boast was amazing, as new, great quality and the skipper apologies cannot recall his name, big chap with a beard simply made the trip!!
Very informative, great driver felt super safe and was so helpful!
Got to see all the main attractions, no rush unless you wanted to blast across the Hudson, skipper more than happy to get the boat into the best position to secure the greatest holiday memories
Defo book with these guys!!
Thank you will come for another ride when we come back some day!!

Amazing!!

Very easy to find the boat . Very friendly and informative captain . Very comfortable ride . I was with my 70 plus mother and my 20 year old daughter and her friend and we all had an excellent time . Highly recommended.

Unmissable

Just the best way of seeing Manhattan from the rivers, as well as Brooklyn, Jersey City and the Statue of Liberty. The boat is quick and the ride is fun - but you get to stop very 5 minutes or so and the captain is highly knowledgable, whether he’s pointing out the cultural hotspots and new buildings in the Manhattan skyline or talking through a brief history of Ellis Island. Would highly recommend to anyone - an unusually thrilling tour experience!
