Daniel L.September 28, 2011Skip the 3hr cruise unless you REALLY want the full experience. Above the 160s on the East Side and then the whole loop back down the West Side there isn't much to see and drags.
JC Martinez-SifreJuly 2, 2015I just couldn't shake the idea that our tour guide was related to Ira Flaitow from NPR: Science Friday. Uncanny voice resemblance.
CitySights NYJanuary 11, 2011Amazing view of the skyline! I'm originally from Florida, so I can't wait to get back on the boat and water again this summer! - Shannon, Social Media Specialist @ CitySights NY
Patrick SzarolettaAugust 16, 2014If you don't have a VIP pass, there's a good chance that you'll be sitting inside.
Christophe LambinNovember 7, 2010Top deck can get very chilly. Wait indoors till the return trip: top deck will have cleared out substantially: more space, better view, less time in the cold.
Brian SearlOctober 17, 2010This is one of the best ways to see NYC if you really want to see the skylines and learn the history. Very informative.
drockgemSeptember 15, 2013show up an hour before, boat fills up quick, e-tickets don't save time, still have to turn into ticket
Tracey NOctober 28, 2011in winter the full island 3 hr cruise prolly wont be full island due to ice in water and harlem river freezing.
D.J. ShropeAugust 19, 2010If you have time to burn this is a good way to get the understanding that NYC is a group of islands and to see Jersey the right way...from a distance.
K. HarmonJuly 16, 2010Buy a cup for 7 bucks right before boarding and you get unlimited drinks and refills on the boat. Drinks are usually at least 4 dollars!
Elizabeth LeeOctober 12, 2016Their food and drinks are expensive onboard, better off buying dinner after you get off board the cruise.
Giorgos MatkarisDecember 18, 2011I rode the Beast speedboat, it was a blast! Super fun and speed show with loud disco music! Awesome!
LeighleighOctober 23, 2011I kinda liked it. The tour guide was quite annoying. Always bragging upon his friend "Jerry" then the man who cleans the buildings and bridges all that jazz. The food was quite gross.
Somnath SureshJuly 19, 2015The announcer can stfu once in a while and not annoy the people on the boat.
Santiago RiveraAugust 21, 2011Check out the AIA architecture tours on Sunday. Julie and Arthur and there team are all great!
StewartMay 10, 2010Take the 3 hour cruise to see awesome parts of the Island. Stand at the bow at thr boat for the calmest ride and easiest photographs.
MoritzMarch 30, 2017Do not recommend the big tour around whole manhattan as the north is boring and even the guide did not know what to say when you are there.
Check local tourist guides for coupons for discount trips. The 3 hour "all island" is best , u c all of NYC !!!- Somnath SureshJuly 19, 2015And they turn off the AC halfway through the cruise. It's 90 degrees and everyone is boiling.
Beth AJuly 24, 2013Take the 1.5 hour half circle cruise. It's plenty to see and almost too long. Please don't buy the $25 picture that the photographers make you take. What a rip off.
Brian GluckmanMay 7, 2011Bring earplugs; the tour guide won't shut up but has nothing of value to say. Stay on the bow for the best view.
Sheilah RestallJuly 5, 2011If all you want to see is the statue, the 75 min cruise is more than enough.
Leslie SolísJune 1, 2017Terrible experience, the ladies at the line are very rude and they even grabbed me by the hand to move me away when I asked them something. Don't waste your money here.
Derek ErbJune 24, 2016Last cruise at 4:30 PM - Nothing else until more expensive night cruise at 7 PM- Tracey NOctober 28, 2011look up when departures are before you arrive. doesnt look like many ppl do. :-)
