Awesome tour - The tour was great. The view we got of the Statue of Liberty was amazing. A river tour has to be the best way to see it. I was surprised that the cheese plate and hummus were also really good. Huge plus that boat is warm on the inside. Take a jacket! It gets a little chilly outside after the sun goes down. I took my 12 year old daughter. We both loved it!

Highly Recommended from lifelong New Yorker - Definitely a Must, as somebody who has lived in NYC my entire life, I would never have thought to do this as I have always had cheesy circle line in my mind for boat trips, but I had a friend visiting in town from Europe and she wanted to see NYC from the water. The trip was Amazing, the staff was even better. The boat was clean and beautifully kept, and the jazz band was 10/10 I’m coming back to bring my family for sure. The trip hits all the lower points and gives you a breathtaking view of lower Manhattan. The boat was not crowded, felt like we were in a nice restaurant. They have drinks and pickings on board but we did opt to bring our own charcuterie board which the staff was more than happy for us to enjoy ourselves. Definitely don’t miss this opportunity to see NY from the water in such a great way!

NYC Lights! - Wonderful cruise on the Hudson and East Rivers. We were just arriving across from the Statue of Liberty as the sun set. Really beautiful!! Then the lights were coming on as we cruised beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. My mom and I were so happy to see NYC all lite up and it was a great experience.

Beautiful - Booked a 6:30 sail but was changed to the 8:45 jazz cruise. Let me tell you if you get the chance to do this cruise, I highly recommend. The band was absolutely amazing and the night lights were spectacular. Passed by the Statue of Liberty and what a view. The experience is one of my favorites.

Good, not Great Experience - This is a good experience. Not sure it's worth the money, particularly for the "sunset" part. Doesn't make much sense to go to the statue first, before it's lit up. Better on the way back. Also, you get one soda, beer or glass of wine per person. Everything else is for a cost. The good part is that it's not crowded. The windows need washed.
