100% excellent. The guys who run this are nothing else but awesome, their attitude and sense of humour is what makes this ride. It might have only gone for 20 but it was one of the best things my mum and i were apart of in New York and to top it off the sun was out, the experience was just perfect!

We-- 2 grandparents and 2 grandchildren-- had a great ride. BUT...we arrived foirty-five minutes early, and it was miserable staning in line in brilliant sunshine at noonday without a smidge of shade. On the boat? A-Okay._br/_ BJD

This boat ride was thoroughly enjoyed by our two 20 year old kids. Expect to get wet wherever you sit in the boat.

Better then expected. I took my Niece and we had wonderful time. Staff on board were great. Would take this ride again.

Touring NYC from a completely different point of view was amazing. If you want to sit in the front, show up extremely early.

Review by: Caroline S	July 2011
Absolutely fab! Our party included three teenagers and they all agreed this was the best thing we did in NY. Real speed, loud music and great views.

Review by: Caroline H	July 2011
Awesome experience and great value for money. Sit at the front if you don't want to get too wet...although you can't completely escape. Fantastic atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Great time overall, the boat was comfy, safe and fast (we were on the new 'beast'), the hosts were awesome and funny. Would recommend to anyone.

A great laugh that doesn't take too much of your day and theres plenty more to see nearby. Dress prepared to be splashed.

loved every minute would recommend wanted to do it again

Review by: Helen I	October 2010
Slightly disappointed. My son and I expected that the boat would go fast but it didn't really go much faster than the other boats that go around the Hudson river. The guide was good and told us some interesting and helpful things. Didn't get wet at all

Funny

Review by: Janet B	September 2010
Awesome and fun boat ride and quick way to see the Statue of Liberty and skyline from the water. Definitely would recommend this.

Review by: Lori K	September 2010
Great boat ride. Didnt go as fast as I thought it but would but the water was a little rough.

Review by: Janis B	September 2010
great fun trip for all the family just be willing to get wet

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
the host was great, but the ride wasn't what we thought it would be. I guess we thought it would be faster.

Review by: Lisa P	August 2010
This boat ride was fun and the guide was great! Kids loved it! Not a good idea on a rainy day. . . but on a sunny day it was perfect!

Review by: Salvatore M	August 2010

Great speedboat ride, full of fun - these guys are mad!

Review by: Michael S, United Kingdom	June 2010
Great fun - Mad Dog is a real character who makes sure that everybody enjoys the trip. Suitable for all ages - our party was four over 60's, and we loved it!!!!

It was truly a great ride. Highly recommend .

Review by: Paul H, United Kingdom	June 2010
enjoyed it even though we got totally soaked

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	June 2010
Fun half an hour sightseeing across the water with an entertaining guide. Worth doing!

Review by: Alexandra K	June 2010
On that day the Beast was not working at all, so they changed the ticket to another boat trip, which was quite boring.

Review by: Laura D, United Kingdom	May 2010
Excellent fun and great veiw of the liberty!

Review by: Nicholette J	May 2010
It was fantastic, tour guides make it! Our only complaint was that the day we had planned to go on the beast it was not running and we where not given any reason why the weather was fine so we had to return the next day when it was running.

Review by: Anonymous	May 2010
I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting NYC. The ride was a lot of fun and I saw some of New York's famous landmarks up close.

Review by: Cynthia K, United States of America	August 2009
We had a fantastic time. The staff on the boat had a lot of energy and were very fun. I wish I could say the same about the employee who was working the reservation booth. She was very rude and inconsiderate.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
We really had a great ride! My adult kids thought it could have gone a little faster! The views were great. We wish it was longer ride but the people at the ticket counter were miserable! When you come from all over to New York City, they should be a way nicer and friendlier!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2009
Great fun, amazing views, and a great crew, but don't go if you don't want to get wet!

Review by: Yvette F, United States of America	July 2009
We're New Yorkers and this was one of the highlights of our "staycation."

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2009
Absolutely loved it! The captains were hilarious, and everyone had a great time. Perfect way to avoid spending 2-4 hours in line waiting to get photos. Recommend for everyone.

This was a thrill ride that my family will remember for a long time.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2009
I wish there was a 5 star rating for this event! The ride was beautiful, definitely for a thrill seeker. and our teenagers loved it! The staff was extremely friendly and fun. This was the favorite part of our trip!

Review by: Geraldine G, Ireland	July 2009
This was a lot of fun. Don't expect to come away dry!

Review by: David P, United Kingdom	July 2009
It was a great experience from start to finish.

Review by: Jessica Z, Netherlands	July 2009
Great ride, some thrill! Absolutely go for it. It's a great way to see the statue of liberty in a short time. The guys from the beast were very funny.

Review by: Richard H	July 2009
It was good, but we were expecting the ride to involve more turns and be more fun. It was a straight run to Liberty Island and straight back with no twists or turns. The hosts and commentary were good. We got wetter from water being squirted from balloons by the the captain than from spray from the boat's wake.

Review by: Ben A	July 2009
Great.

Review by: Greg K	July 2009
A perfect way for preteens, not interested in sightseeing, to see the Statue of Liberty and the New York City skyline. It's 30 minutes in duration. The guide was fun and the music entertaining. This one is for the kids. You'll probably get a little wet, so use extra hairspray the day you go.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	October 2008
Great fun! The two guys on our boat were wonderful! NYC Firemen - Brilliant views of the Statue of Liberty and great boat ride and good music too! Very enjoyable!

Review by: Debora M, United States of America	September 2008
Biggest smile of our trip from my husband and two 20 year old sons. Absolutely geared toward the young and young at heart. Why waste time on the slow cruise out in overcrowded ferries? This was fast, fun, and worth the price.

Review by: Eddie V, United States of America	September 2008
We had a great time. The captains were awesome. They took us out even though it was raining.

Review by: Ian R, United Kingdom	September 2008
Watch out for the Captain's mate and prepare to get wet. Great fun, the kids will love it.
