Great time

Published on Nov, 2024

We had will as a tour guide and was very informative. Weather was great and had the most enjoyable time seeing the site's from the hudson river Would highly recommend this tour

An incredible experience! Book it!

Published on Oct, 2024

The most incredible experience! A fast rib, brilliant for sightseeing and Eric, our captain was fantastic! Very entertaining and knowledgable. We all loved it! We booked this for our first morning and it blew away the jet lag cobwebs and was a great introduction to NYC!

Amazing experience - just do it!

Published on Oct, 2024

This trip was awesome! The best views of Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. The boat is fast and thrilling but you feel safe and don’t get wet. Every seat has good views but the front is particularly fun. We were lucky to have beautiful blue skies at the end of October and took the 4pm 30 minute trip which had beautiful light over Manhattan and the Hudson. Our captain Eric was great and added to the fun of the trip, giving us some interesting background at our stops and taking photos of us . We also felt this was really good value for this type of trip and so worth it. As my friend said, not just the highlight of our trip but of 2024!

Outstanding experience!
