| The boat tour takes in the Statue of Liberty as well as the Waterfalls. It's a lovely tour of the Lower Hudson River and the East River up to about 14th Street. Nice staff, unlimited champagne and plenty of room to move on deck. Great experience and fun with a group of friends. |

| I'm a bitter New Yorker, I decided to go on this cruise to check out the Waterfalls and drink champagne. Mission Accomplished. The boat ride was tons of fun and they weren't cheap with the champs, either. My only gripe was that at a full one and a half hours it was too short. My guests and I enjoyed seeing our favorite city from the water.
I highly recommend to all - natives and tourists. |

| I don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it...it was scaffolding with water pouring form it. The boat was beautiful and we went really close to the Statue of Liberty...that was the highlight for me. It is something different and interesting to do. |

| This was a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon in NYC. The boat had plenty of room and it was great to have a little champagne (you can also purchase cocktails) and see the sites around Manhattan. The Waterfalls themselves were not the most impressive things but the whole experience was well worth it! I would do it again! |

| My friends and I wanted to do something special for a 40th birthday before dinner. This cruise was just perfect and so much more than we could have imagined! The boat was spectacular, comfortable, well cared for. The staff very service oriented and the trip being 1.5 hours was enough to "take us away" for a while and enjoy the water and city views. Of course we got a bit tipsy from the bottomless glasses of champagne!! I will recommend this to everyone that visits me in NY...and I will go with them every time! |

| We arrived early and waited in line, then were told as we boarded that we must sit in the cabin for safety information. We did, and then the crew allowed latecomers to sit outside - in the good seats - and miss the safety talk. The cruise served alcohol, yet allowed small children to attend, and the crew allowed the children to run wild and unsupervised in an unsafe manner. And to top it all off, we couldn't hear the narration about the Waterfalls exhibit. It should have been a lovely event, but wasn't as good as it could have been. |

| The ship Manhattan is a beautifully appointed 1920s yacht, retrofited for tours of the NY harbour. The captain and crew were very friendly, and provided interesting commentary throughout the tour. The champagne flowed, or you could have a complimentary beer or wine. The trip was a fantastic experience for us. We had a crystal blue day, and squeezed our group onto the bow of the ship. The tour was spectacular. The Waterfalls, as an art installation is amazing, definitely worth seeing. The only way to experience them fully is by boat! This tour was great. My only complaints: the quality of the bubbly was poor :(, and they do not recycle! With the amount of bottles, both plastic and glass, that they go through each trip, they should make recycling a priority! |

| This was a birthday surprise for a date and it was immensely enjoyed, as is anything boat-related. I enjoyed that aspect but also wanted a great view of the four waterfall structures, which we most definitely got.
The afternoon was sunny and not too hot and it was a great way to spend the day. Heartily recommended and worth every penny. |

| While I was somewhat underwhelmed by the Waterfalls themselves, the yacht was nice and clean, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty were beautiful. |
