They charged me and I never took the boat

They charged me for the phone and when I was going to get on the boat they told me there were no departures that day and they haven't returned my money

State of Liberty Boat trip

Booked this trip and boat did not turn up and waited over an hour and no one answers phone when I rang to find out what had happened - Disgusting service and DO NOT BOOK this trip - SCAMMERS!!!!

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating that must have been. On the date of your reservation, New York City was under a state of emergency due to severe snowstorm conditions, which affected many transportation and tourism services in the city. For safety reasons, departures were impacted that day. Our team attempted to contact guests by phone and text message to inform them of the situation. During severe weather events, phone lines can also become very busy as many guests are trying to reach us at the same time. If your booking was affected, our team processed refunds for impacted reservations. We appreciate your understanding as safety must always come first during extreme weather conditions.

Great music and comedic experience. Loved the vibes.

It was raining but still a great experience! We enjoyed the skyline views. Perfect way to see Lady Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, The Vessel, Little Island, and more.

Not good

Trip itself was good - but trip advisor let me buy a 90 minute sunset cruise and i got a phone call from the company saying to be there at 4:00 because the last boat leaves at 4:30 and it was barely a 60 minute trip and definitely not at sunset. So i paid almost double and I’ve been trying to contact the company and no one has returned my calls. So make sure you know what you’re signing up for if you go through this company!

Old and dirty ship. No seats. Do not book

The tour was as designed but the boat is awful. Do not have rooftop seat. Only 8-10 seat in the front does do not accomodate the guest. Inside has tables and chair like a bar in a closed area. You cant enjoy the fresh air. Bad smell of floor carpet and i orefer do not share the bath situation. Do not book. Do not book

Great but a glitch

Great photo op for Lady Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and a few other sites. Ship had adult drinks and basic snacks. Negative is the area you wait for the boat has no benches or sun protection which is unfortunate, esp when it's 92 degrees like it was on our day.
