Disappointed

2.00This particular boat did not follow the pathway outlined in the description. We went to the Statue of Liberty and turned around, and did not go onto the east side of manhattan. There was no tour guide telling us what we saw. As we approached the dock, the music turned from pop music to hardcore explicit rap. There were probably 20 kids on board. Completely inappropriate.
The boat was extremely...

1.00The boat was extremely late and we never got on it. We ended up taking another boat around the city.
Absolutely horrible...

1.00Absolutely horrible experience from start to finish. We waited over 2 hours in freezing cold weather just to be told nothing useful, and in the end we NEVER even got on the boat. There was zero communication, no updates, and no customer service whatsoever. We repeatedly tried calling and reaching out to someone for help and nobody answered us at all. After wasting our entire day standing outside in the cold, we requested a refund since no service was even provided, and they refused yet they had no issue leaving customers stranded with no information or assistance. Completely unprofessional, disorganized, and dishonest. Save yourself the frustration, wasted money, and terrible treatment — DO NOT BOOK THIS
Sailing failed dismally

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00When we arrived at the stated time, the reception desk had no reference of us attending the 6pm cruise. It was difficult to find out why. I later (5 hrs later) received an email stating due to dockwoork, the sailing had been caceled and alternative times offered for the next day. As we were leaving Manhattan at 7am the next morning, these were totally unsuitable. Also as the cruise ship was already being filled, it was quite clear that no dockwork was affecting the 6pm sailing. I and my family are very disappointed with the failure of Viator/Tripadvisor to ensure that we could all experience this 6pm cruise sailing. I originally booked via Tripadvisor. I will not use either of them going forward.
Took my money, didn't get my cruise.

1.00Booked this through Viator. The Manhattan Skyline Cruise Co never received payment for Viator. I called Viator 40 minutes before the cruise and the customer rep was unable to assist me so I had to book the cruise directly through the cruise company, meaning I had to double pay. Working with Viator to hopefully get a refund.
Read the tour description before booking otherwise you will NOT be responded to.

2.00This is NOT a night tour. Inacurate advertisement. Company will not answer the phone or reply to emails. Staff is not welcoming. Only the VIP section has clean windows. The bottom deck for general admission has very dirty windows which do not help when trying to take pictures. Tripped on an uneven floor with no safety sign. Tour narrator was nice.
Awesome boat and tour

5.00Loved every minute od this, sunset was beautiful but after dark was stunning. I would do again and again. I would say the bar line was very long, so i skipped that for the views.
Trip cancelled, no refund
