Breathtaking Boat Tour – Water Views of the City
This stunning 1-hour boat trip takes you on an unforgettable journey through the harbor. Discover the city from unique vantage points for new perspectives and amazing views. We take you within a few meters of the main sights and leave you enough distance to capture the panoramic skyline. Our US Coast Guard licensed captains stop the boat at multiple points along the way to highlight landmarks. We take you to 40+ sites on local waterways where you can take the best pictures of New York! Our tours depart from the North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place, located in lower Manhattan next to One World Trade Center. After a briefing on the dock, you board our safe and seaworthy US Navy designed boat. We’ll leave Manhattan and cross the Hudson River for spectacular views of Downtown and Midtown with the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. We’ll head north past the FDNY fire station, the Chelsea docks and the Hudson shipyards with “The Vessel” and head to the Intrepid aircraft carrier before turning south along the New Jersey coast. From Hoboken, we cross Manhattan again and stop just outside the Financial District and One World Trade Center. Around Battery Park, you’ll see helicopters taking off and landing as we pass South Street Seaport, go under the Brooklyn Bridge, and cruise along the Brooklyn waterfront and around Governors Island. As we cross the Upper Bay, you’ll get close to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for yet another extraordinary view of the world-famous New York City skyline.
