Circle Line: NYC Beast Speedboat Ride

Overview

The BEAST Speedboat Ride - one of the most thrilling things you can do in NYC that is totally legal. This custom-built, 70-foot speedboat flies towards the Statue of Liberty at around 45 mph, with lots of twists, turns and splashy action. It's an exciting tour of NYC, to say the least. Wet suit recommended but not required, just ask our BEAST Handlers about “The Pool”…they’ll be happy to help you find a good seat!

Absolutely brilliant! Great staff made this a not to be missed trip. Fast and thrilling - be prepared to get wet!! One word of advice - don't book in advance. We did so online from the UK only to find the rain meant the boat didn't run on our chosen day. It was difficult fitting it in to the rest of the week but thankfully we managed. Just go on a fine day - you won't be disappointed!

WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! Get into the holiday atmosphere with the Beast, the fastest speedboat on Hudson River! A word of warning, this isnt for the faint hearted (and dont eat before you go!) as this is fast but its an amazing holiday experience and a brilliant way to see the Statue of Liberty, the fantastic corporate skyline and Ellis Island quickly and in a fun way:) Well reccomend it!
