Our Route We’ll leave Manhattan and head out on the Hudson River to get spectacular views of downtown and midtown with the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Going north on the Hudson, you'll see the FDNY Fireboat Station, Chelsea Piers, the VIP Heliport, Hudson Yards Project, the Highline, and the Jacob Javits Convention Center, before stopping at the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier and Cruise Ship Terminal.  We then cross over to the New Jersey shoreline and run south for panoramic views of the entire skyline.

We stop right outside the security zone so you can get an up-close and unobstructed view of Lady Liberty. Returning to Manhattan, we pass Ellis Island, and you'll have great views of the entire world-famous NYC downtown skyline. We hope to welcome you aboard!

We were super impressed by the tour that Bjoern provided us. It was rainy and a little windy, he had a plan to keep us dry. His knowledge of the area was first rate. He was also super helpful in creating a fun environment for my eight year old son. I would highly recommend this company to others looking for a wonderful way to see the city from the water.

My family had the pleasure of taking a tour with Bjoern. Bjoern was fantastic from the moment when I reached out to NY Media Boat. We quickly agreed upon a meeting spot that was convenient for us. He was on time and gave us the best tour of NY, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty. His insights captured the attention of my sixteen-year-old and everyone on the boat. After spending a long weekend in NY, this was everyone's favorite experience. My group said this was the first thing they would like to do again when we return. Thank you so much, Bjoern. I look forward to seeing you again!

This was such a great experience. I booked it for my husband's birthday, and he loved it. The guide was also the driver and he made us feel welcome and safe. We live in NYC, but I was looking for something exciting to do as a special birthday activity and this was it. The boat is FAST, but safe, and the guide's details were informative even for us.
