Speed Boat in Manhattan

The high speed boat trip departs from Downtown Manhattan – a different location to where the sightseeing cruises depart from. The boat used for this tour is without a doubt one of the fastest in New York. The comfortable seats allow you to sit safely without any restrictions. At high speed, the boat heads towards the Statue of Liberty, where it then slows down so that you can take photographs. The boat continues to proceed past Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn towards the Brooklyn Bridge, giving you a chance to see the bridge up close and personal. After this, the boat turns around and heads back. In terms of clothing, there isn’t much splashing water on this tour, so you’ll arrive dry back on land.

Eric’s Tip: I have done many boat tours in New York, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. First of all, for those who still have their doubts, it is not scary. And because the boat is relatively small, this tour doesn’t feel like a tourist attraction, but more like a local activity. Furthermore, this boat has access to sail around different locations in comparison to the large tour boats, which means getting closer to the skyline and to the water. I thought this was a great boat tour and very suitable for those seeking something slightly different than the usual sightseeing cruises.
