Great views of architecture and abandoned islands - Gabriel knows so much about the transformation of the waterfront in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, and about the birds and other wildlife inhabiting the islands. The team was fantastic— they took great care of us. There’s nothing like seeing the city from the water. Would love to go again. Not just for tourists!

Not your typical sightseeing cruise. - A wonderful evening with unique views of islets in the East River and Islands in Long Island Sound. Expert commentary from our naturalist guide. Highly recommended for New Yorkers and visitors alike.
