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.

Great trip of you want a bit of fun. Quick blast down the Hudson, 5mins at the Statue of Liberty, and quick blast back.

100% excellent. The guys who run this are nothing else but awesome, their attitude and sense of humour is what makes this ride. It might have only gone for 20 but it was one of the best things my mum and i were apart of in New York and to top it off the sun was out, the experience was just perfect!

We-- 2 grandparents and 2 grandchildren-- had a great ride. BUT...we arrived foirty-five minutes early, and it was miserable staning in line in brilliant sunshine at noonday without a smidge of shade. On the boat? A-Okay.

BTW: Parking on the pier is a snap, if you don't mind $35 for the hour.
