A Must Do Boat Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing skyline show and a great NY history "lecture" by the boat tour commentator. It is a Must tour to do when visiting the Capital of the World.

Manhattan at its most majestic and magical

Published on Jan, 2025

From buying the tickets at the pier to stepping onboard and enjoying a magical 90 minutes of magical views of Manhattan, this was a real highlight of a New York vacation. The entire team offer unrivalled customer service… even Banjo (one of the team’s dog who is occasionally present at the pier) to the bar staff and boat band members… it’s remarkable how one company has managed to get such an incredible team together to offer a most memorable experience by day or night on the Hudson. We enjoyed the Christmas boat trip complete with festive tunes, cookies, comfy seats, great views from inside and out along with a fantastic selection of drinks. We’ll certainly do this again on a return trip and only wish we could get the same team to offer such trips on the River Thames in London!

Good trip the host had a amazing singing voice boat trip was fun and informative. Great cost and worth the spend

Definitely worth it!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had so much fun! My recommendation is not to have any expectations other than the view of the spectacular NYC skylines. The cocktails were unusual (peanut butter whisky hot chocolate!) and the food basic (hot dogs and pizza) but the experience was out of this world, and the compare, was hilarious and so well informed. Wrap up VERY warm and enjoy this fun trip round Manhattan. We paid for the regular tix and sat on the outside deck for the best views.

Fantastic

Coming up close to the Statue of Liberty was amazing and we went under the Brooklyn bridge too. Great views
