    Speedboats, stunning skyline views, and genuinely enthusiastic captains seem to be the recurring theme across these reviews. Guests consistently rave about captains like Bryant, Eric, and Mack, who bring real knowledge and warmth to every tour. The experience covers serious ground, from the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, all while hitting speeds that apparently get the adrenaline going. Repeat visitors are a telling sign here, with multiple reviewers coming back years later and calling it their favorite NYC activity. Families, solo travelers, and even lifelong New Yorkers all seem to walk away impressed. One minor note worth knowing: seating is first-come, first-served, so groups wanting to sit together should board early. Beyond that, this one earns its glowing reputation pretty consistently.

    This was our 2nd time on the New York Media Boat Tour and it (once again) did not disappoint!! This time we brought our kids and even though we were the only ones on the boat and it was a little chilly, Captain Eric made sure we had the best time ever! We got to see all of Manhattan, go under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, see Ellis Island and the Governors Island and capped it off getting within 100 yards of Lady Liberty herself. We experienced all of that while hitting speeds of 30 MPH and catching some serious air while we hit the waves of the Hudson River. Seriously so epic! If you’re looking for a thrill ride mixed with a history lesson and scenic tour of all of the NYC sights - look no further!
