Was a great boat ride informative and emotional with the star of the show bring the lady liberty herself. Got quite teary with the sight of her and the music atmosphere on the boat at the same time. Would recommend this sunset cruise after we walk down the pier and watched the sunset was unforgettable.

It was ok. The best part was getting so close to the Statue of Liberty. The boat itself was well kept and the staff was very nice. Otherwise, it was not that great. There were too many people and too many of them were either already drunk or on their way to being. I took my family and didn’t really appreciate the crowded nature of the boat along with the drunken people.

Amazing trip, convenient for 1 hour and not big size boat , we were all of 20-30 people onboard which made the trip even more entertaining and give us lots of time for photos. The sunset time is the best from my view for this trip, I have only one comment that there were no guide tour or audio sound as advertised but i wasn’t not looking for that and enjoyed the sailing and breeze.
