Highly recommend for everybody to do while I’ in New York. This was an amazing experience for our family
Boat was very hard to find and once there, it was very unorganized . The woman who I guess in charged. Was dressed more like she worked at kohls not a boat tour . She had no identification ie. a tag around her neck , a shirt, anything to make you think she worked for this company. Since I organized this tour for my family I felt embarrassed and at fault. Looked like an idiot, saying , I have know idea what’s going on. It said all over the website. Be on time, we will not wait , hurry! Yet we couldn’t find anyone in charge to tell us where to go . All the time worrying as the clock ticked somewhere there might be a vessel taking off without us . Now the good. It was a beautiful day the person speaking was clear and informative and didn’t over talk so we got to enjoy the sites .

Boat has seen better days, with bits hanging off, crack in the front window and dated! Booked for 14:00, naturally arrived early and ignored and then pointed to a barrier, then when finally acknowledged, told “we only board people from 14:15”, so why have a booking for 14:00? And then told this at 14:20! Finally boarded and then sat and waited till 14:45 until we left, but no “sorry for the delay” or “we are just preparing final bits before we leave” Voice over for the tour dated, a lot of stuttering and out of time for the boat! Talked about something probably 250/300 meters in the distance! And then shook a tip jar at people on leaving!

I had areservation scheduled. Someone from private number called to say they had to change time for later. We were almost there in which they called back and rescheduled tour for next day at 11:00. Showed up early and no cruise. Wasted an Uber from hotel and the price of two tickets.

When you get to pier 36 there's no signs or information about the tour to begin with. I waited there for till the scheduled time and no boat/ferry showed up. I called the +12125120515 four times and they didn't pick up, I then sent them a text with a picture of pier 36 gate 6 asking if I was at the right place, no one responded. Only 10 minutes after the scheduled time after i bombarded them with phone calls that they answered and said the tour was rescheduled for 6pm. I then asked for a refund and they gave me attitude telling me to call the agent(Viator) as they didn't take my money. I'm very unhappy and dissatisfied with this company. Please just dont advertise for them anymore, they're scammers.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your departure time and your experience contacting our team. We would like to clarify that this sightseeing cruise operates daily from Pier 36 and that the vessel was operating as scheduled. We understand that changes or delays can be frustrating, and we apologize if there was any miscommunication regarding your reservation. Our goal is always to accommodate our guests whenever possible, and we would be happy to work with you on rescheduling your cruise so that you can enjoy the experience. We encourage you to contact our customer service team directly, and we will do our best to assist you. We take guest concerns seriously and do not engage in misleading business practices. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.
Boss lady was late loading guests. Obviously not a tour boat, more of a booze cruiseboat, with tacky decorations. Boat was pretty cluttered on all decks but thankfully few people booked this tour. Go circle line for a good experience. Weather was great so that's a plus!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate hearing about every guest experience, as it helps us continue improving. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our cruise offers a more relaxed and casual atmosphere rather than a traditional narration-focused sightseeing format, and many guests enjoy the unique open-deck experience, onboard music, drinks, and the opportunity to take unobstructed photos of the NYC skyline and the Statue of Liberty from the water. We’re happy the weather cooperated and allowed for beautiful views during your cruise — seeing the Statue of Liberty with clear skies is always one of the highlights of the experience. We appreciate your comments and will certainly review your feedback with our team.
The worse experience they were not at the pier at the docking time and refused to give me a refund....
We’re sorry to hear you missed your departure. Our cruises were operating continuously throughout the day, and like airlines, trains, and other scheduled transportation services, boats must depart on time for safety, Coast Guard regulations, and to avoid delays for other guests. We always recommend arriving at least 30–45 minutes before departure to allow time for check-in and boarding. Unfortunately, once a vessel departs, we are unable to hold the boat or issue refunds for missed departures. For future travelers, this cruise remains one of the best and most affordable ways to experience breathtaking close-up views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the iconic Manhattan skyline from the water. Thousands of guests enjoy the experience every week, and we hope to welcome you aboard on a future visit to New York Harbor.
We didnt even end up on the right boat. My ticket told me boat 6 so that's the one we boarded and it never took us there
We’re very sorry for the confusion you experienced during your visit. We understand how frustrating it must have been to board the wrong boat and miss the experience you were expecting. Please feel free to contact our office so we can look into what happened and assist you further. Our office team is always attentive to notifying guests in advance if there are any schedule adjustments, operational changes, or important updates regarding the activities. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience for future travelers.
This experience was great. It wasn't enough clarification on hot to get the location. We did have the address, but not being fimiliar with New York and train routes we got lost a few times. I did speak with someone he was helpful to a certain extinst he tried to charge me upcharge for being late after I told him we where going to be late and that we were lost and got off at the wrong stop twice. The overall experience was worth it. The view was great. They had music, food, a dance floor if you into that and enough space top and bottom. Drinks are also available as well. Its behind a the big building. dock 4 that should be noted somewhere. Affordable as well. Good crew, Boss lady was a good experience for us. Not perfect, but doable. Hope this helps.
We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and the amazing views of the Statue of Liberty. It’s great to know you had a fun time onboard with the music, space, and overall atmosphere—and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to our crew (including the “boss lady” 💃). We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the directions. Navigating New York City for the first time can definitely be challenging, especially with train routes, and we understand how that may have caused some stress. Your note about Dock 4 and the building reference is very helpful, and we’ll work on making our meeting point instructions clearer and easier to follow for future guests. We’re also sorry for any confusion regarding the late arrival and additional charges. Our team always aims to be as flexible and understanding as possible, and your feedback helps us continue improving that balance. Thanks again for your honest and helpful review—it really means a lot. We’re happy to hear that, overall, the experience was worth it, and we hope to welcome you again in the future!
It was a waste of time, money and energy as no staff or anyone showed up at the cruise's meeting point. I'm requesting a refund, but I haven't received one yet.
