Highlight of our trip

Sally_D, Apr 2024

Such a fantastic way to see the city at sunset! Getting close to Statue of Liberty and travelling under Brooklyn Bridge along the Hudson was fantastic. Lovely boat, spacious and nice drinks! Staff were great too, super friendly. All in all it was an experience I’d recommend to anyone visiting NYC!

Stunning boat, amazing views and not overcrowded

Angela_M, Apr 2024

Stunning boat. Very organised as crew allocated seats prior to embarking. We had our own table in the corner with a view out the rear and side. Range of drinks and snacks was good too and reasonably priced. Great way to see the sights; liberty, ellis, bridges and of course the skyline. Also seeing the sunset behind the statue of liberty provided great photo opportunities. If you take a boat trip, make it this one as it was not at all crowded.

Great 1 1/2 hour on the river

Cindy_I, Apr 2024

Great evening for a sunset cruise. Shout out to the crew: captain Juana, uri and especially Shannon who was so gracious serving drinks, taking photos even during wakes, etc. Hope to take their architectural cruise next time.

Would totally recommend this cruise after a day of sightseeing! The boat was safe, tidy and not overcrowded. We could move around freely and take pictures without other customers. Staff were great and super friendly! Definitely a must!

Great! (even in the rain!)

Tiffany_T, Sep 2023

The staff and the cruise were amazing! It was raining but the views were still great. I thought the storm might cause me to get motion sick but the boat moves the whole time so it was fine. The staff still took pics of us out in the rain. Perfect experience!! The inside of the boat was clean and nice, too.

Great cruise experience

Lovely evening cruise, stunning scenery and saw Manhattan skyline from daylight, dusk and night perspective. The hosts were very attentive and friendly The only suggestion would be a running commentary or some narration as you travel to ping out the different sights/ landmarks

Can’t recommend this highly enough

Really enjoyable sunset cruise - perfect!

Janine_D, Aug 2023

This was perfect! The staff were friendly, even offering to take photos of us when we got to the Statue of Liberty. The boat was lovely, with our own table which was a nice touch. And a limited number of people on board so it wasn’t too crowded. The complimentary drink was a bonus and the snack food for purchasing was really nice. Definitely recommended if you are heading to NY.

Beautiful.

Carol_D, Aug 2023
