Yacht Cruise - Statue of Liberty

The 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

We 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.
