Holiday Highlight

We were worried about the weather but the rain dried up just in time. The trip ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Would do again if we return.

Amazing

We boarded at 6.45pm the boat left st dead in 7pm. WOW WOW WOW we kept this until the last night and the views if this gorgeous city did not disappoint. The most was clean with seating both in and out once it's moving you xan go stand outside at the very front of the boat (I would definitely recommend doing this as you get to the statue of liberty) Some if the best views EVER . There is a bar and you can buy food we didn't just out of choice we were eating later on. This strip did not disappoint it was amazing.

Fantastic experience. ...

Fantastic experience. Beautiful views of the city. Seeing the Statue of Liberty was awe inspiring. Knowing that my parents immigrated to America and saw this harbor was a highlight of this experience.

Sensational Friday night Statue of Liberty Sunset Cruise

This was the best experience my partner and I have had in our 50 years of living in Manhattan. Simply magical. Critically important was the fact that both the weather and sunset were ideal. A very emotional experience, seeing Liberty from many different vantage points, a poignant reminder of who we are as a nation, even during these darkest days in our current environment.

Lovely Sunset trip!

Lovely boat trip at sunset. Great way to see the skyline, Brooklyn Bridge and The Statue of Liberty. Get there early to get good seats.
