Fun Boat ride in NYC

Published on Jan, 2025

Very romantic. Great to do in the summer when the weather is good. The lights are bright in NYC and make for great backdrops for pictures. Even goes near the Statue of Liberty.

Daughter's 17th b'day nice semi private experience as it was not crowded. Nice comfortable seating with great views. We were able to move in and outside for photo opps at will with no delay or interference. Very nice experience!

Gorgeous NYC night time tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing harbor tour of the lights of NYC at night!!! We booked last minute with no issues and loved every minute! Being up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty on this boat tour was overwhelmingly surreal! But the whole thing was great!! I’d do it again and again!

Would recommend

Published on Oct, 2024

Service was excellent. Expected a beautiful skyline, and it did not disappoint. But, Lady Liberty and Ellis Island at night are beautiful. Did not expect that.

An unforgettable experience !

Published on Oct, 2024

My wife and I had booked the City Lights Cruise on Yacht Manhattan as part of our vacation trip to NYC and took part in it that week. It was an incredible experience to be able to see the many highlights of NYC at night from the Hudson and East River. One of the most memorable moments was when the yacht was calmly positioned in front of the beautifully illuminated Statue of Liberty. The crew on board were just as inspiring as the trip itself. All the team members were professional, friendly, helpful and very courteous. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended and we will book it again on our next visit!
