5.00Did it last year and had to do it this year. We are both 60 and we plan on doing it until they tell us we're too old! We timed it with the outgoing tide so the ride up the Hudson was flat and you could hit some good speeds. The East river is always a guessing game once you get past were the Long Island sound flows in, it can be bumpy but it's still fun. Trying to put together some people for another ride in August. The owner is great. When I had questions, he got back to me personally. All the people who work there are easy going,when your job is to ride a waverunner why wouldn't you be? Anyway, definitely recommend!
Jetting to sea it all baby!!!

5.00We had an amazing time with Rob for our 2.5hr tour of the city. Even though we are from the city it was an amazing way to see the city. If you go see if you can request Rob who was patient with us since we weren’t the best riding the waves and were going a little slow but even then we had a great time! I recommend this to everyone!!!
Most Incredible & Unique NYC Experience for Tourists AND Locals

5.00This was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever done in NYC, especially for being a local. I have lived here a total of 8 years and cannot stop telling my friends how amazing this jet ski tour was. We were able to do the sunset tour and I have never seen Manhattan look so beautiful on a warm summer evening. Not only is the skyline impressive, but you get to view it while enjoying the freedom of jet skiing. The owner Adam is an absolute pleasure to speak to as well. Adam - please do more marketing so more people know about this INCREDIBLE experience! I absolutely loved it!
Impressive Experience

5.00A unique perspective on an iconic skyline. The freedom and joy of motorcycling on water while taking in the grandiosity of Manhattan is not to be missed. The 2 1/2 hour tour allows you to feel adventurous as you circle the entire island and "touch" with your eyes all 5 boroughs. To experience a "dip" north of the George Washington Bridge, pass by Yankee Stadium, the famous Pepsi sign, United Nations, Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty all in an adrenaline charged 2 1/2 hours makes this experience a "bargain". Tour guides Rachel and Tina were SPECTACULAR, engaging, caring, fun and downright nice! Overall a "10".
Simply Amazing!

5.00Honestly the best thing we did in new York! We got to see so many parts of the island we wouldn't have seen had we not done the tour. Exhilarating but also felt extremely safe considering the Hudson river is extremely busy! Worth every penny and have recommended to so many friends since returning home to the UK. Alix and Andy

5.00We had the best time on the Manhattan Circle tour. It was just us & the tour guide Marty & he took us on an extended tour - highly recommend. The Go-Pro was hilarious to watch back! We’d defo do this again - I don’t think we stopped laughing the whole tour! Thanks for such a great time Sea & the City (& Marty of course!) 😎💦☀️
Amazing Experience !!

5.00We arrived with what was the only open window in the weather for the day which made the Hudson even more choppy than normal. Joelle our guide was amazing making sure we all stayed together and got us into some great locations for pictures. This was a great experience for all ages as my daughter of 14 loved it and so did my mother in law at 66. The pictures received were fantastic and cannot recommend this trip more highly as a unique way to see Manhattan.
Amazing time on the water

5.00The Hudson was particularly choppy, but that made our day all the more exciting (and a little more painful on the derrière! So worth it though!) Joelle was a great tour guide, who was clearly keeping a close eye on the water conditions, ferries and boats around us, ensuring we were safe on the water. She knew all the best places to stop to take pictures and encouraged us all the way. Overall this was an amazing and unique experience - one which we will never forget; thank you!
AMAZING!!!! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!

5.00YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!!!!!! I did the 12:30pm tour on April 17th and its taken me 4 days to find the words to adequately describe the true awesomeness of my adventure. I am still high from the experience! 1) TOUR: I did the 2-2.5 Hour Manhattan Circle and Statue of Liberty Tour and it was AMAZING!!!!!! I jet-skied ALL AROUND MANHATTAN, underneath every connecting bridge, and passed boats. We zoomed passed envious tourists lining up for the statue of liberty, park goers lounging near the shore, and ferry passengers. I felt like a badass as I raced through the water. I am so profoundly grateful to have experienced New York in such a unique way. 2) GUIDE: My guide was a total badass! She was super nice and let me go at my own speed. As a first time jet-skier, I started off slow but halfway through the trip I was going full speed. I was blasting through the river like a rocket...it was A M A Z I N G!!!!!!! 3) SEA THE CITY: They are extremely committed to customer service. They respect your time and seek to maximize your experience. It's obvious the employees love their jobs and it translates into enthusiastic personnel and guides. Their entire establishment has an infectiously positive vibe! Prior to the trip, I was a little nervous but their amazing attitudes immediately put my nerves at ease. 4) LOCATION: Very easy to get there. I cut through the Oculus (the whale bone transit station) in Manhattan and it lead me to the ferry terminal. The cost is $7 one way and the ride takes about 10 minutes. Get off at the Liberty Landing Terminal in New Jersey. From there, it takes less than a minute to walk to their offices. 5) OFFICE AND EQUIPMENT: They have countless lockers to safely store belongings. They equipped me with a dry suit, life vest, booties, gloves, water, and sunscreen. 6) SUMMARY: In case I wasn't clear....IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I mean...who gets to jetski around Manhattan?!?! I DID...and Manhattan is huge! A big thank you to Sea the City for helping create an outstanding memory. SEA THE CITY deserves its stellar reputation and if you want to do your touristing right, do any one of their tours and you will not be disappointed!
Greatest NYC Experience I've Ever Had!

5.00First things first: No matter how great you think this trip will be, it will shatter your expectations by being light years better than you could imagine. I've been a lifelong resident of New Jersey and this is something I've always wanted to do. Since my wife and I had to stay local this summer, this was the perfect time to try it out. We were fortunate to have the owner and his charming daughter take us on the full circle tour of Manhattan. The weather was beautiful, and Adam was attentive to every one of our needs, stopping to take our pictures at every spot we requested. You should buy the pictures, by the way...he takes great ones (which I'll post soon since I just got home!) As stunning as it was to pass underneath the George Washington Bridge, I experienced the greatest view of NYC I've seen in my 53 years: Coming down the East River, I saw lower Manhattan sprawled to my right, Brooklyn to my left, connected by the Brooklyn Bridge ahead of us, with Lady Liberty off in the distance underneath the span. An absolutely stunning view...and it only got better once we got back to New York Harbor. Treat yourself if you're ever visiting New York: It might be pricey to some people, but I can guarantee that it will be two and a half hours of your life that you will never forget. Thanks again to Adam and his wonderful daughter for an absolutely sublime adventure!
