5.00The cruise to and around the Statue of Liberty was wonderful and a great way to see the statue up close. The captain and crew were knowledgeable and professional. This is a small yacht without a lot of people, which was nice.
Lovely relaxing way to see the city from the water

5.00We had 3 generations in town for a college graduation and this was a wonderful way for everyone to experience the city from the water. The crew was friendly and attentive and helped one of our party with accessibility needs. We brought some snacks and enjoyed drinks from the bar.
Great Fun!

5.00From start to finish an excellent experience and well worth the cost. A stunning way to see the skyline and get up close to Statue of Liberty. Knowledgeable Cree who didn’t give extensive commentary but just enough to point out highlights and useful info.Well worth 90 minutes
A Perfect Outing on the Water

5.00We loved this tour so much and so glad we did this instead of one of the giant tour boat experiences. We had a group of 4 and I think there were only 8 other people on board. The boat was beautiful and the crew (Captain Felix and Sean the bartender) were super friendly and accommodating. The ride was very relaxing and we had picture perfect views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue or Liberty. I would say to be cautious taking this tour if you are prone to sea-sickness as it was a little of a rocky ride at times.
Awesome feel
