this is a must - The best experience ever :). We really enjoyed the view. I hate both rides because I am getting sick - while sitting I was able to enjoy :)

Great way to spend an hour or so - Super trip and with excellent views of New York and Ellis Island from front of boat. Good commentary provided if you could hear it! One recommendation- home on tight to your belongings as you disembark! One poor soul lost their phone in the water!

Awesome! - The overall experience was great. The guide was quite knowledgeable on the history of the area. The cruise was not too long or to short, it was just right. My greatest disappointment was the audio. The audio can be much better, it's not very clear. Apparently the speakers are on the deck, and very difficult to hear from inside the sitting area on the upper deck. I would recommend speakers be installed inside the sitting area of the upper deck as well. Also, when chairs are taken on the outer deck, it takes up to much space, so only a limited amount of people can view from the per deck. There is parking, it is expensive $40 but a uber to and from the pier can cost almost $70 round trip. So it's better to drive if that's the only thing you'll be doing in the city.

beautiful view - I liked that it didn't take that long, 1 1/2 with children is a perfect trip. Maybe I should go a little faster. to my liking and for my children who are not very patient. But if you have more time, will surely like it.
