Great tour, on a beautiful day, but

Tour is great, get there early! If you're late, they don't wait. One complaint, after the hefty $50+ per person price tag, they ask for more money at the end (tips.). It's practically mandatory, as they place the tip bucket right at the exit of the boat. Don't think it was a very nice way to leave an impression. If you want tips, then maybe think about lowering the price tag for the ticket? Other than that, a lovely way to enjoy nice weather and the Hudson and east rivers.

Exhilarating; informative.

A wonderful afternoon's adventure on the water. Informative with regard to both well known and little known details of the NYC cityscape and waterways. Staff was pleasant and efficient. The Manhattan provided a comfortable ride and relaxing setting.

Came on from a work event and the crew on the boat was wonderful. Had a lot of guests from out of town and New York and everyone loved it.

Best Activity in NYC

My daughter (13) and I really enjoyed our trip. The captain was entertaining and informative, and it was great to hear about the buildings, tunnels, bridges, and history around NYC. The crew was excellent, friendly, and courteous. There is nothing like seeing Manhattan from the water, and because it goes up and down the Hudson and East Rivers, you see much more than on the Staten Island ferry or Statue of Liberty cruises. Best thing we did all week!

Regret that we could not cancel this activity

My wife is pregnant but we thought she could handle this activity. Unfortunately she was too tired after flying from Fort Lauderdale that day so we did not attend. We could have given a few hours advanced notice of cancellation, but the ZERVE confirmation made it explicitly clear we could not get a refund under any circumstance. So, the lesson is to never reserve using this service. Lost $100. Won't happen again.

We arranged the Yatch cruise prior to arriving into New York and paid $US40 each. The picture of the Yatch on the website does not do it any justice. I love Yatch's and seeing it just made my day! The 1920's style Yatch, with its glass cabin, wooden paneling and finish... fantastic! We had not even docked from the pier and we were so excited! The cruise was the highlight of the trip apart from the Helicopter ride and definitely highly recommended. It is a nice way to be able to see Manhattan, cruising on the Hudson.

Happy and content

My wife and I found the activity much more pleasant than we had expected. The thought was that we would be hauled en mass onto a boat. It was very relaxing and informative. We live in Connecticut but raised in NYC. It's always a pleasure to view the city especially from boat such as yours. The service, too, was really great ...
