I highly recommend.The ferry ride allows you to see Manhattan from a new angle. Ellis island is a discovery and you can make your own genealogical certificate. The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town

The boat tour was acceptable. However, we were sent to two different boats before finding the right one, despite the indications.

Perfect boat ride to see Lady Liberty. Easy on and off, plenty of seating and standing room. Also loved the availability of snacks and drinks on board. Well spent 1.5 hours with my daughter.

I loved sitting on the outer deck and taking in the sights of the city. And our guide Jacob was amazing. The cruise made me feel like a tourist once again and left me feeling so refreshed. Would definitely recommend if you're wanting to catch a break from the hustle of work!!

Weekday vs weekend

Weekends on the boat tend to get quite lively for the brunch cruise. Most people love stepping out to get some sun on a Saturday or Sunday. However, if you prefer a quieter experience, consider going on a weekday. Weekday cruises often have fewer crowds, making them perfect for an intimate experience.

Peak season vs Low season

The peak season, from late spring to early fall (May to September) has weather and bright, sunny views of the skyline. During the low season, especially in winter, you can enjoy cozy indoor dining with fewer crowds. Each season has its own charm, so choose a time that suits your preferences.

Seated dining: Enjoy comfortable seating at spacious tables, ensuring a relaxed dining experience.
Unlimited beverages: Sip on unlimited mimosas, coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and water throughout the cruise.

Comfortable footwear: Choose shoes that are stylish yet comfortable, as you may be walking around the deck.
Light jacket or shawl: Since temperatures can drop near the water, especially on cloudy days, a light jacket or shawl will help you stay warm.
Avoid casual wear: Casual clothing like jeans, t-shirts, and sandals are not permitted onboard, so opt for something a bit more polished.
