A fabulous experience that I would recommend to anyone. Eric our captain was superb, really knowledgeable and great fun and energy. Always felt totally safe but was an exciting, exhilarating experience. Thanks to all at New York Media Boat tour, you’re awesome!!!
Excellent experience especially for kids!
Super fun. Captain Bryant was really great!!
This was the 3rd day in the City and was a welcomed break ! Boat was badass …very spacious with great Speed. Was able to get right against the Statue, Would definitely do again
Super fun! The boat is, in fact, very fast. The Midtown and southern Manhattan views from the water are beautiful. And you get to see the Statue of Liberty up close! Our guide/pilot, Bryant, was great but I’m sure all are good. It’s only 30 minutes, but they’re jam packed. This seems especially good for families with teens. We have a 16 year old and the other family had a 13 year old—they sat up front together and both were delighted!
Best part of our trip to NY! Eric was fantastic and made it so much fun and so informative - ONLY WAY TO SEE STATUE OF LIBERTY!
Great and very efficient way of seeing the Statue of Liberty up close from the boat if you are short on time. Excellent seamanship by captain Mack, and guaranteed a small group in the RIB so well worth it!
Highly recommend this. The boat is fast and fun. The history of the harbour is fascinating and Captain Bryant was great! He gave us a super fun ride that was also safe and professional. He also slowed down for questions and gave us a perfect view of Lady Liberty—even taking a few pictures for us. It was a highlight and if your are traveling with kids who might get bored easily—they will be talking about this one when they get home!
Great fun and a great way to see the Statue of Liberty.
Amazing family tour, we took our 12 and 14 year old kids with us and they loved it. Eric was our guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, well worth doing.
