It was good, but we were expecting the ride to involve more turns and be more fun. It was a straight run to Liberty Island and straight back with no twists or turns. The hosts and commentary were good. We got wetter from water being squirted from balloons by the the captain than from spray from the boat's wake.

We're New Yorkers and this was one of the highlights of our "staycation."

If you want to get soaking wet while viewing the Statue of Liberty, then this is the ride for you. Beautiful view of Lady Liberty but not worth getting soaked through all of your clothes. I would opt for a cruise.
