Perfect and super fun!

Fabulous experience with a friendly crew! So much better than being on just a ferry - made seeing the Statue of Liberty extra special! We were with a couple with their young children who felt like pirates and another couple who had just become engaged it’s perfect for whoever you are. Highlight of our trip to NYC

My husband, my 6-year old son and I did this in October. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The crew was super friendly and helpful. You get to see the Statue of Liberty and the city from a different perspective! Would do it again.
