Traveler reviews
Great Experience
The whole experience was great. From the booking online through Tripadvisor, where I made a mistake and they helped me fix it. To the boat ride which was just long enough and informative.
Fun cruise, plenty long, don’t arrive until 30 minutes before departure
We enjoyed this cruise. Thank goodness for the heated indoor areas because we went on a blustery fall day. Our guide was great. The only criticism I have is that they instruct you to arrive 45 minutes prior to departure time, but they only begin loading 30 minutes before departure. Waiting on the pier in the piercing wind was pretty uncomfortable. Aside from that, I would recommend this cruise. I don’t think we needed anything longer than an hour.
The tour guide talked non...
The tour guide talked non stop but couldn’t hear him over the motor. The boat was nice. Getting on boat went really smooth.
WE LOVED DEBBIE—BEST TOUR GUIDE!
We had a great experience! They prioritize safety but give you opportunities to move around and get great pictures of the different landmarks. DEBBIE IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE! She’s fun and loves her job. You’ll feel the love if you get on her boat.
Great tour with amazing guide
We had an amazing cruise with Nathan as our guide. He was impressively informative and the time absolutely flew by. One of our NYC highlights for sure. Thanks!
