We took a large high school group on this cruise as part of a five day trip to NYC. They went out of their way to accommodate our large group (~80 people) on our own boat. Our tour guide Steve was the absolute best. He narrated our cruise with great information and humor! Would definitely recommend.

Wow! What an amazing tour! Steve was an incredible tour guide - funny, knowledgeable, and a great photographer. Inside and outside seating options were great for winter - you can easily move back and forth as you get closer to different sights. Wonderful price for a great 50-minute tour of the major sites!
