City Lights Cruise on Yacht Manhattan
Makayla L. • June 20, 2025
This tour was really good - when it started, you sat down and they took your order for a free drink, and then you were free to leave the cabin and go out on the deck. If you head out early you can get a good spot so that you can see the NY landmarks. Also, when you got to the Statue of Liberty, they had an assistant there ready to clear an area of the deck so that everyone could take at least one picture if they wanted, which I thought was cool (since many people had flocked to the deck to take pictures of her and it blocked a lot of space). Overall, this was so relaxing. I will say, perfect date night idea!

We had not expected to go around the whole island so pleasantly surprised. Many fascinating photo opportunities. The north side is hilly and new vantage points from what you normally see when biking or driving. Will do this same tour again.

Statue & Skyline Sightseeing Cruise

Everyone who worked the boat was very friendly. You get some great views of Manhattan, Liberty Island, and Ellis Island, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge. You can relax inside, which is temperature controlled, or go outside to enjoy the weather. You also get a free drink with your ticket, with the option to buy more if you'd like. It's definitely worth the price. Lots of fun and very relaxing.

Loved the complimentary champagne."
