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!

the host was great, but the ride wasn't what we thought it would be. I guess we thought it would be faster.

This boat ride was fun and the guide was great! Kids loved it! Not a good idea on a rainy day. . . but on a sunny day it was perfect!
