This was an amazing way to see and hear all about New York especially if you have limited time. The boat is able top completely circle the whole of Manhattan with a closeup of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and all of the beautiful bridges to name a few landmarks. The Tour guide was amazing showing all of the different points of interest with a bit of humor thrown in. The boat had large viewing windows and you can easily move about the boat inside or out, top deck or lower for different vantage points. There is a small cafe on board to buy snacks, beer, tea or coffee. My only suggestion is to have another staff member assisting with the snacks as I stood int he queue for more than 20 minutes waiting to buy a cup of tea.

We had an amazing trip, weather was fantastic and we saw sights not possible from land. All through the trip the captain gave a really good commentary and it was really good to hear so many local facts and interesting anecdotes. So many amazing photo opportunities. Quite a long queue for the tea/coffee but moved along quite briskly. Would definitely recommend.
