This was such a lovely way to start our trip to New York. We had Kiel as the captain and Mac and Kolin assisted him. Beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline were abundant. We were there at an ideal time and Kiel positioned the boat in the perfect place for some great photos; giving everyone a chance to get the sunset with Lady Liberty. The one star drop is because there really isn't any commentary as you go along. Mac and Kolin would answer questions, but they got tied up with a couple of chatty groups so we didn't get a chance to ask our questions. I would recommend this trip to folks; however, would recommend that there be some commentary on the sights we are passing by.
