It was fun :) Would I go again? No, but only because the ride was VERY bumpy and choppy (it’s a speedboat) so spent most of the ride focusing on a fixed object in the horizon so I didn’t get sick. I had to stare at the World Trade Center, for example. I didn’t get sick but imagine some people do. (Do not eat before you go.) Otherwise, it was fun! Take a shower afterwards and try not to think of all the filth of the Hudson River that got splashed on you :)
This is a great ride. There are two staff on the boat. One is the pilot and the other is the joker! Kids loved the music, speed and the views of the city. You get up close to the Statue of Liberty with a great opportunity for photos. Highly recommend. Oh, don’t forget to tip the staff as you disembark. They really work hard to keep you happy and entertained. It was amazing to see how many people didn’t tip them. Don’t be that person!
Great time. We went on a hot day. Nice price. We booked our tickets online just an hour before the trip. They stop in front of the statue of liberty and offer to go around and take pictures with your phone. We sat in the back so we got soaked. The first mate even walked around with a spray gun and buckets of water. It was great!! Be ready to get wet.
Very nice staff! Very awesome views. You can always get off if you’re scared which only woman did. We did have some issues with the tickets but nothing a conversation won’t solve. Great time with my mother brother and sister. The person on the boat tank made us feel really safe they splash people with water and it’s fun :) Some advice would be to arrive 30-40 minutes earlier and pick front seats !!
Had a blast. $34 per adult a little pricey but would do it again. Really liked pausing at the Statue of Liberty and our cruise co-capt took a brief moment to capture everyone’s pic on their iPhone without an additional gimicky sir charge. Tips were welcomed but not required. The splashes were assured… don’t think you won’t get wet!
Great ride! The crew was awesome and a good NYC deal for 30 minutes. Expect to get wet.... The ride goes to The Statue of Liberty and plenty of photos ops.
The BEAST sure served us an adventure feast! The ride was so much fun with the rock music, fun host/captain and of course, the insane speed! I have been on many smaller speed boats, but it is my first on such a big speed boat. But at no point did it feel unsafe! If you want to avoid getting drenched, but also want to feel the most adrenaline, it would help to sit in the first few seats like we did. They were really sweet and captured our photos at the statue of liberty.. we saw wonderful views of New York and the New Jersey coast throughout.
Best to book online a few days in advance.. I was able to purchase the tickets at $22 each for a Saturday. Also best to arrive at least 15 minutes before your time slot as the boat leaves exactly on the hour. Happy riding!
