Exceeded expectations.

We were on a small boat with two crew and about 15 passengers - a nice size. We were taken past all the major sights on the Hudson and East River. The crew member who looked after us was constantly there to help with taking pictures- and supplying beer! It was an evening cruise and the sights were fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend this.
