I thought the boat ride was a good value for the money. I liked that there were multiple areas to sit or stand, and I also appreciated that the boat has a bar and snacks. I removed one star because I felt the guide, Betty, spoke too much, put people on the spot and made comments that were out of context. For example, she mentioned that two of her friends passed away because of 9/11, while that is tragic, a sightseeing tour around NYC did not feel like the right time or place for those types of comments.
