Great way to see lower Manhattan! - Very pleasant trip around the southern tip of Manhattan, then to the Brooklyn Bridge and then to the Statue of Liberty. Great way to see the skyline.

5-stars from a critical reviewer - Worth it. Had been on a similar excursion on a bigger boat before and learned more and enjoyed more on this one. Traveled with an adult daughter who loves the land and hates the water and it still went very well. Staff were attentive, kind, and informative. I rarely give 5-star reviews but this was well worth it.

Excellent! - Book this now. This is an excellent trip. I have been on the big boats where it it just way too crowded and you are breathing engine fumes throughout the trip. This felt very high end and exclusive. The service was excellent and I would recommend this highly - to note, I am a New Yorker so I have taken quite a few of these excursions. The best yet for seeing the sights in NYC.

Fantastic tour!! - Fantastic tour! The boat was gorgeous! We had an assigned table with just the two of us, which was unexpected and really nice. Crew was very attentive and informative. Trip includes a free beverage of choice, including alcohol. Highly recommend!!

Great way to enjoy the city sights! - We had a wonderful skyline/Statue of Liberty cruise in August 3025. Our cruise was not crowded at all, so plenty of room to sit or step outside and enjoy the fresh air and views. Our captain/guide offered wonderful historic commentary about the city and the sites, but didn’t talk the whole time, so there was plenty of time to just take it all in. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating with answering questions and offering to take photos. The cocktails from the bar and wine options were surprisingly good. The tour lasted about 90 minutes, which was just right. All in all, it was a great way to see the city, bridges, and Statue of Liberty from a great viewpoint. Would definitely recommend.

Checkout Classic Harbor Line‘s sail boat ride instead! - We actually didnt do this one. Missed the boat because viator show the time the event starts in the current timezone youre in not the timezone the event is in. Either way, showed up late and the attendant at Classic Harbor Line was sympathetic and very kind. Had us signed up and on the next outing they had that day. It was the sail boat. IT WAS AWESOME! You get a free bev like this one but they also do little sampler foods. Very small, so dont expect a full meal. But these little bites in my opinion were a wonderful pairing to the cruise. Quality over quantity to be sure. Absolutely worth the extra $50 for the two of us. Highly recommend if youre looking for something a bit more bougie without breaking the bank.
