Traveler reviews
Boat ride in NY
Excellent views of the city and a long time spent at the Statue of Liberty. It is truly magical at that vantage. I liked that you could sit inside or outside.
Jazz Cruise is Great
Great way to spend an evening with family and / or friends and enjoy the Hudson, the Boat Band and a beverage or 2.
Don’t go in rainy day, you can not see anything
Very disappointed. We booked this tour specifically for the sunset, but the weather was terrible and it was raining. We even asked before the tour if we would be able to see the Statue of Liberty, and we were told yes. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see it at all. The company should have canceled the tour or at least informed us in advance that the weather conditions would make the experience impossible.
Wrong cruise or music band
Please be aware. I have booked a live jazz sunset cruise for my family including a senior. However, the music band was absolutely different and very loud and disturbing. The weather was not great, and I texted earlier to Viator to check about the possible cancellation. Never heard from them. The trip took place and due to rain we neither were able to watch the sunset and we had to sit inside the boat and listened to very loud “sailor songs” which made the whole experience overwhelming and specifically challenging for my older father. I requested a partial refund - will update my review.
Amazing!!! You won’t regret it!
amazing staff and a beautiful experience! Money very well spent while visiting New York for the first time
