5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible NYC Experience from the Water! Our trip with NYCbySEA was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we stepped onto the boat, everything was top-notch—professional, friendly, and full of wow-factor. The views of the NYC skyline, Statue of Liberty, and iconic landmarks from the water were simply stunning. It’s such a unique way to experience the city, away from the crowds and with an unbeatable perspective. The captain was fantastic—knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about sharing the city’s history and hidden gems. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for both sightseeing and relaxing. This experience exceeded all expectations and gave us beautiful memories (and amazing photos!) we’ll never forget. Highly recommend NYCbySEA to anyone visiting the city—or even locals looking for a new way to fall in love with New York all over again. Can’t wait to do it again!

5.00This was such a fun and exciting ride! My two sisters and I got to see our city in a way we never did before. The statue of Liberty was definitely a favorite part of this. Mike was so informative and friendly and made sure we had a great time. The boat was very comfortable as well. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see NYC on the water!
