Amazing views & Worth the money!! - Had complete 1 hour fun with family. Instead of walking to every points, the ferry was worth the money and time to view all the important spots in one go. Light raindrops and the weather was added more fun to the tour. The guide was very informative explaining the important buildings and spots.
They stop for extra minutes near Statue of Liberty to click pictures. It was a clear and close.
Best skyline view of NYC and NJ.

Best Statue of Liberty boat cruise - Great boat cruise, well informed, great price! The boat went really close to the Statue of Liberty and allowed time for pictures. The only thing was that it was a little hard to find the pier. Overall, great value, recommend it highly!

Recommend to go! - We had a one-hour trip cruising on the ocean and saw the statue pretty close and clear, together with the other beautiful sceneries along the trip, definitely worthwhile.

Good information, good guide, no outside seating - The guide’s explanations and comments were fun and informational. I liked that we had some time for the Statue of Liberty pictures but had there been more people the time would not have been sufficient for people to take some good pictures. The worst part was that there wes no outside seating and that frankly made the trip far less enjoyable. All this should be in the description when booking.

Ok-ish - We didn't expect to be send to the end of the line with our little boy who is 2 years old on such a hot weather.
Also, it would be ok to increase the time spent near the statue.

Great view but no bar and delayed tour guide - The tour is inexpensive and a great way to see the statue. We were annoyed because the bartender said they ran out of everything on the last tour, so we couldn't get a beer/wine or even a soda for my kid. Only water. Disappointing since the open bar was a selling point for us. And the tour guide was about 5 minutes behind the boat - everything she brought up was way behind us and we could no longer see the things she was talking about. Some of it might have been interesting if we could have seen it. I have to assume this tour is much better when you can buy refreshment and the tour guide actually is on pace with where the boat is.

Staff was good, the boat... - Staff was good, the boat itself requires some good cleaning. I would recommend adding few tents to have shade as it was very sunny waiting to board in the morning in the pier.

Petty towards family of 2 young children - We missed our originally scheduled boat tour. We called and spoke with the tour organizer. They confirmed availability for the next boat which was scheduled to leave 1hr later.
But they demanded an additional $50 to move our family of 2 young children to the next boat. We perceived this as petty given they had already confirmed availability on the next boat. And that they were unlikely to sell out that boat in the 1hr left before boarding.
This 1-star review is a consequence of their petty treatment of our family and of our little ones.

Awful experience. Rude Staff. Waste of Money. - RUDE. Awful customer service. I was informed by one of the employees I’d be able to use my tickets for another tour time, but informed that I would need to pay an additional fee for rescheduling. I wasn’t aware that there would be hidden fees on my reservation. The customer representatives were rude and had a lack of compassion and empathy for the customer. Wouldn’t recommend this tour or wasting your money.

There was a car accident... - There was a car accident that kepnusnin traffic. We called to determine if we can schedule the next ride within the hour and the man and lady on the phone asked for $45 more dollars which was inconsiderate and not customer satisfaction. Will never book again.
