We had a great time with Capt Eric! Learned so many things and saw everything possible and got some great shots! I cannot say enough good things about NYMB! You are on a boat with limited people so you will, without a doubt, get the perfect shot you want. No trying to maneuver around hundreds of people trying to get 1 picture. Highly recommend!

Such a fun time out on the water. Learned a lot and saw all the famous sights. Booking the tour was so easy and they accommodated us regarding time and ride. Eric was our guide and he was fantastic. His driving was terrific and smooth and dodged the impending rain. He made the tour extra special. We have been to NYC a ton of times and this was still still a special treat after all these years. A definite to do

I had a great time and would highly recommend this activity to anyone. The Boat Tour, Chelsey Market and The Edge were the highlights of my NYC trip. Significantly above any rooftop bar or dinner out for an experience you will actually remember. I had a very short visit to NYC and this allowed me to see the highlights with great views. The boat stops at key places and was out the full 90 minutes. There’s no bad seat on the boat, I didn’t have the front and I was just fine. I didn’t want a stuffy dinner cruise and the open air was just my style. You don’t get wet but it can be cold, so ask for the wind proof jumper gear before you leave the dock... it works. Eric was my guide who made the trip enjoyable. He knew his history and local insight while juggling multiple personalities on the tour. I asked a lot of questions and that was encouraged... I liked that freedom as I dislike pretentious NYC experiences. Worth the money.... absolutely. Safe and clean... absolutely. I took the last tour of the day which was ideal and highly recommend. The Statue of Liberty was closed for day and the boat got as close as possible. No tourists or other boats in my pics! Who can say that?! If I would redo my trip, I would do this experience first as it lets you pin point where you want to go, and don’t, around the city. Oh... bring bottled water. Thanks everyone for a fun experience and I’ll see you next time.
