The cruise was 1 hour late, so it derailed our entire plans. But everything else about the tour was okay.
You should have more Marcos or at least one more, I waited 4 hours, it is a lack of respect from 2pm to 6pm.
First our time was pushed, then we didn’t even make it on the boat because the 11:00 hr was waiting for there ride. After standing in the hot sun we decided to walk away. Money down the drain!
DO NOT BOOK!!! We were booked for 5 and didn’t leave till 7! They guy helping us was so mean and would scream at all of us whom were waiting. They make you wait in a single file line STANDING UP DO NOT BOOK WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
Waited at the pier as per instruction and boat never turned up! There were several people waiting whose confirmation matched ours and no communication whatsoever. Contacted company and they said to come the next day as they “operate” daily. Epic fail and money lost!
Extremely disappointing experience. I booked a cruise around the Statue of Liberty, arrived at the departure point on time, and waited as instructed along with 20 other guests. The cruise never showed up, and there was no communication whatsoever to explain what had happened or to notify passengers of a cancellation or delay. Our time in New York was limited, and this completely disrupted our plans. What should have been a memorable experience turned into a frustrating waste of time. To make matters worse, I am still waiting for my refund. Having to chase a refund for a service that was never provided is simply unacceptable. A reliable company should communicate with its customers, especially when something goes wrong. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this company until they improve both their operations and their customer service.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused, especially knowing that your time in New York was limited. This is not the experience we want our guests to have. We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate what happened and address your concerns. Please contact our customer support team with your booking details so we can review the situation and work toward an appropriate resolution. We value your feedback and hope to have the chance to regain your trust.
The cruise itself was perfect, but the organizing team could do better. Our original reservation was for 11:00 a.m., but it was first rescheduled to noon and then moved again to a later time on the day of the cruise. When we arrived for check-in, no one was available to provide directions or guide passengers. Several people joined the wrong line, missed the correct check-in queue, and risked losing their scheduled cruise time. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, but clearer communication and better coordination at check-in would significantly improve the overall experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that schedule changes can be frustrating, especially when they affect your plans. While we always strive to operate our tours as scheduled, there are occasions when departure times or operations must be adjusted to comply with directives from the U.S. Coast Guard. These decisions are made with guest safety as the top priority and may be influenced by factors such as weather conditions, water traffic, or other navigational considerations. Unfortunately, these are circumstances beyond our control. We truly appreciate your understanding and your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience we provide to our guests.
The boat never showed up..my and my friend waited and waited and the boat never showed. Waiting to hear back about a refund

This is a scam! If zero stars were an option, I would choose that because this tour doesn’t even deserve 1 star. The time choices are irrelevant because the boat apparently docks or leaves at random times. I arrived for a 5:30pm tour, but was told by staff member that we were on the 7pm tour, which would have been too late form us. He then asked us to step aside and proceeded to grab his belongings and leave the check-in stand all together! Eventually, other staff members came in, scanned our tickets, and told us we could get on the next boat. However, there were so many people already waiting, there was no way we would all fit on there. We decided to still give it a chance. But while we were waiting, a customer who claimed to have been waiting since 3 pm started yelling and cursing the staff! That was our cue to leave! We bender even made unto the boat. I definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck on a boat where a potential fight could break out. Felt very unsafe. The details also stated that staff members would be identified by “red NYC skyline” shirts, but that was also false. I’ve never experienced a situation such as this. BOOK THIS TOUR AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

I have emailed them a week back to cancel my tour and give me my refund . Their phone no is a scam and email is responded by unprofessional people. Now sending emails to survey.
