I love, love, love this trip. We did it 30ish times, with and without guests, when living nearby and continue to return whenever we’re in NYC. A magical experience! Just slightly rueful that the price has more than doubled AND “extra” drinks (i.e., more than one, rather modest pour) are no longer included, but I’m a slave to this boat so will still come back.
4.5 stars! My family went on a lovely New York harbor tour. It was uncrowded. Each party had our their own table. The ship was clean and the crew was very attentive. We got complimentary beverages. Everything was pretty great except we had a difficult time hearing the captain’s comments about various. sites. We just asked the crew if we wanted to know about certain bridges or buildings. It’s well worth the trip.
Feels like I’m the first one to give less than 5 stars, looking through reviews. I booked the Jazz - Sunset tour on Manhattan boat.
Yes, the staff was awesome and friendly. Yes, the views are great. But that you can get on majority of other boat tour agencies as well.
The whole point of this tour for me, was to be outside and enjoy the views with romantic Jazz. However, being outside, you don’t hear ANYTHING from the Jazz band, who are inside of the boat. The idea of live Jazz is pointless for that matter.
The route was not thought through either - the boat returned after 1h and 5 minutes to the dock where we left and we could all go home. But because it is officially 1h and 30min tour, they did a weird loop, which felt completely like “killing the time” and nothing else.
$18 for a watered down cocktail? Welp, I guess it’s NYC and nobody will complain
And for all of that >$100 for a ticket?
Mhhh…would not recommend to my friends

My husband and I decided to sail the NY Harbor for our 20th wedding anniversary and took a sunset cruise on the America 2.0
The ship was comfortable and clean, and the crew (led by Captain Shannon- I hope I'm spelling that right) was super friendly and fun. The trip included a round of drinks (I had a glass of wine and my husband stuck to water), but more were available for purchase. We were able to take great pictures and had a wonderful time! We'd love to bring our kids next time.

Absolutely fantastic experience.
The staff was great. Warm and inviting from the time of entering the cabin of the boat all the way to exiting.
There is a reason that this experience is a little more than the other "budget" tours - it goes above and beyond and in my opinion it is worth double the admission.
Well done, professional, and stunning views of all the landmarks. I would go twice a day if I could.

Managed to squeeze on this trip (arrived 10 min before departure) and the staff was extremely welcoming and supremely friendly. Cautious for our safety while also extremely accommodating, the staff created an unforgettable experience for me, my girlfriend and aunt. The ride itself was extremely comfortable and smooth, all the while the staff created a personable environment. Overall 11/10 experience and am endlessly grateful to have fit this boat tour into my NYC experience. Boat was also very well kept, clean, and the drinks were amazing! (Jason, Alicia, Todd, and Doug were the staff for our ride and were amazing!!! P.S. —Architecture and landscaping engineers are able to receive continuing education aboard this informational but entertaining experiencing :))
I went on the jazz cruise on 6/18 for my birthday and had an impeccable experience! The live music was amazing and the musicians and crew were extremely friendly and helpful. In particular, Jason and Alicia (I hope I am spelling their names correctly) made our experience all the more memorable with their amazing service.
The ride was smooth and we got to see all of the sights: statue of liberty, One World, etc. The check in process was smooth, and the directions sent via email made it easy to find their kiosk.
10 out of 10 recommend that you book this!
