This was the 3rd day in the City and was a welcomed break ! Boat was badass …very spacious with great Speed. Was able to get right against the Statue, Would definitely do again
Super fun! The boat is, in fact, very fast. The Midtown and southern Manhattan views from the water are beautiful. And you get to see the Statue of Liberty up close! Our guide/pilot, Bryant, was great but I’m sure all are good. It’s only 30 minutes, but they’re jam packed. This seems especially good for families with teens. We have a 16 year old and the other family had a 13 year old—they sat up front together and both were delighted!
Best part of our trip to NY! Eric was fantastic and made it so much fun and so informative - ONLY WAY TO SEE STATUE OF LIBERTY!
Great and very efficient way of seeing the Statue of Liberty up close from the boat if you are short on time. Excellent seamanship by captain Mack, and guaranteed a small group in the RIB so well worth it!
Highly recommend this. The boat is fast and fun. The history of the harbour is fascinating and Captain Bryant was great! He gave us a super fun ride that was also safe and professional. He also slowed down for questions and gave us a perfect view of Lady Liberty—even taking a few pictures for us. It was a highlight and if your are traveling with kids who might get bored easily—they will be talking about this one when they get home!
Great fun and a great way to see the Statue of Liberty.
Amazing family tour, we took our 12 and 14 year old kids with us and they loved it. Eric was our guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, well worth doing.
Great trip out 🗽 capt Bryant was fun, knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a great time views were impressive Thanks 🤩
It turned out my daughter and I were the only ones booked for the tour the day we went; rather than cancelling or having us reschedule for another day, Captain Bryant took us out and we enjoyed a private tour! Not only did we see some awesome sights, it was so fun zipping along in the water at a quick speed! I think the boat ride itself was half the value of the tour! Captain Bryant was a wealth of information about the NY bridges, Governor's Island, etc; he was super knowledgeable, professional and overall a terrific tour host. This express excursion was perfect for our schedule, and was a fantastic way to see an area of New York, and the fabulous monuments along the way, that we'd not seen during our previous visits!
My daughters, my granddaughter, and I had a fabulous experience! Of all the things we did in NYC during the week, the speedboat harbor ride was hands down our favorite. The captain was extremely helpful, skilled, and knowledgeable. His casual and fun demeanor enhanced our experience so much. I am pretty sure his name is Eric. Thank you Eric. Your assistance and expertise provided a memory that will stay with each of us for a lifetime.
