Thank you Alicia!!!!!

Absolutely amazing experience! My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the relative intimacy of this private cruise. Seeing the Statute of Liberty, NYC, and the Brooklyn Bridge from this perspective was once in a lifetime. Our personal host, Alicia, was simply amazing! Truly one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. She made our experience so much better. Could not recommend this more. The mimosas and the cheese plate were also on point!

Great sightseeing tour

Amazing tour. The staff were great and very attentive to our needs. The boarding procedure was very organized and ship departed right on time. They offered a complimentary drink with our tour ticket. The ship goes right among the shore and you can see the skyline and some iconic buildings in Wall Street. When you get to the Statue the ship stay still for 15 minutes or so so you can calmly take all the pictures you want. The crew also offer to helped us to take a picture of the 4 of us (shout out to Pedro and his great service). The tour groups are small so don't worry about crowds, you have plenty of room to take photos. We also pass the Brooklyn Bridge on the way back, that was a great view as well. It was our first time in New York, so overall great experience, I would recommend this trip to everyone, even if it's not your first time seeing Miss Liberty.

Worth it

Lovely experience. Cute boat. Nice crew. It was nearly impossible to find legal public parking anywhere nearby though. We spent about 2 hours finding a spot. Plan ahead

Operator response

DeAnn, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience and the style of the boat, and that our friendly crew made a positive impression. We are sorry to hear that parking was such a challenge, and we appreciate you flagging that so others can plan accordingly. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Classic Harbor Line

Great way to see the Statue of Liberty with a family!

With a family of 5 it was awesome having our own table and the crew did a great job taking care of us. They even took some great pics of all 5 of us near the Statue of Liberty.

Comfortable and fun trip up the river.

Great trip despite a little wind, very comfortable ride inside the boat. Lovely way to see NYC on the Hudson with minimal moving around on your part!
