This 90 minute boat tour most of the way around Manhattan Island made our 24 hour NYC trip complete. Tickets were reasonably priced; boat was well maintained and clean; parking was extremely convenient right next to the boat dock; the sun came out just as we were pulling away from the dock; and the tour guide narration was both educational and entertaining. What more could you want?

My son and his sweetheart were visiting from Sacramento. The weather forecasted clouds and rain, but we had a great time seeing the NYC sites. Our tour guide Chris was excellent and I mentioned how great it was to highlight the boroughs of NYC. However as a differently abled Great Grandmother, I would have preferred fully ADA compliant features. We were able to be at the bough and clearly saw lots of sites. I sat inside for the first hour and heard the important info that Chris offered.

The boat was super well maintained and clean. The staff was courteous and professional. I never thought I would be able to see such good views on Manhattan from a boat. The tour guide was super knowledgable and I never thought I would learn so much. Can't wait to try one of the brunch cruises!
