10/10 experience!

An amazing experience with great views! We did a tour around 8pm and was in awe the whole time. There was both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. Definitely recommend!

Weather was bad, ride was...

Weather was bad, ride was cancelled. They gave us our bracelets then said the boat was full and we had to wait until next boat in rain

We left without going on...

We left without going on the tour when the boat was 45 min late, there was no communication about what was going on and had dinner reservations. Then was told we wouldn't be refunded.

It’s a nice experience,...

It’s a nice experience, you can see the NYC Skyline at night. But DONT replace the day visit to the statue island during the day with this. PS: DONT MAKE PLANS AFTER THE TOUR. THEY ARE LATE. One of the guy who disembarked when we boarded said “Good Luck”. Their tour supposed to start at 6pm but they started 7:30pm. Our schedule was 8:25pm, boat arrived around 9pm. Deboard and boarded every body takes another 30mins. So yeah, we finish around 10:45pm for the trip the supposed to finish at 9:05PM.

I traveled 9 1/2 hours...

I traveled 9 1/2 hours all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio and made this one of my top experiences and I didn’t even get to do it because our time got pushed up because the boat wasn’t ready and they had us to come at 12 and it was after 12:30 and we still hadn’t been checked in, we were sitting outside in the sun roasting waiting for the boat to come from the dock so we left and you get no refund so I was out of $45! If I could put no stars, I would’ve done just that.
