Best Boat Tours In New York Near Me

Savan: Amazing 1st time experience! From ease of navigating their site to get the details on different tour packages to booking a tour! It was seamless.A few moments after reserving the captain of the boat got in touch with me and I was able to keep in touch with captain Dave easily! I even had to change the time and location for pickup and he did so with no hassle at all!On day of the tour.. We were celebrating my dad's 70th birthday! Captain Tim and Daniel were both great crew members and they took their time showing us around up close and personal to the sights of nyc!I Would gladly recommend this as a private tour for those considering it and the prices are very reasonable for what they offer ☺️

linda cimino: Amazing day on the water making lifelong memories! The captain & 1st mate were professional and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend this tour if you want a fun, memorable day without large crowds. The price was very reasonable for a private charter.

Robin Reardon: Joel was perfect!

Kelli Brotman: and I took the sunset evening boat tour with Dave and could not be happier with our experience. Dave was very knowledgeable, kind, and had a beautiful, well-maintained boat that he welcomed us aboard. The tour included great views of FiDi, One World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge, Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and a few other spots. Despite being NYC residents, this tour was still an amazing experience that we'd recommend to tourists and locals alike.

Amy Lawler: Fun and informative. Great way to see the city!

Allison Adler: This was our third time cruising with NY harbor tours! We had a bigger party and went on the Reliance. As always a beautiful clean boat and wonderful ride around the island with our Captain Roman who was so friendly and a great guide ! It was smooth sailing and so much fun to see all the sights from the water. We can’t wait to do it again! Many thanks! Allison

ramblinblogger: Such an amazing experience, wife and I did this as a 10 year anniversary gift to ourselves. We spent 5 days In NYC and this was definitely one of the highlights. Captain Dave was very pleasant to work with and gave us the lay of the land. He also has water, blankets and bubbly to ensure we were comfortable.

Pooja Shah: Joel was an amazing guide and timed the 2-hour ride perfectly with the best sunset views.

Maria diMayorca: This was so much fun! We chartered a boat for our family reunion with open bar and boated around Manhattan by Brooklyn bridge and Statue of Liberty. Levi & Sam were awesome- we loved them. I would 100% do this again next year.

RAFFAELLA ARMILLOTTA: Bellissima crociera: emozionante e da non perdere. Personale gentile, posti riservati, ottimo cocktail e panorama mozzafiato.

Alex S: Had an awesome experience out on an evening cruise. Shoutout especially to Lisa for being a great sailor/host!!

Eva Kocman: Our Boat Cruise with Classic Harbor Line was amazing! The crew working there has an incredible level of guest service and hospitality and they would even ask to take pictures for you whenever you want! We were celebrating a birthday so they made us feel extra special, the boat was so unique and beautiful, it was not too crowded and you really get to take in all the beautiful sights. Definitely would recommend! :)

Lydia Han: We booked a private sunset boat tour for our wedding welcome party and it was honestly everything we could have ever imagined & hoped for.Every single one of the staff members were INCREDIBLE (yes, in all caps!!) and we felt so well taken care of by captain Albert, Jason, Donna, Tim, and Adam from the moment we started discussing the event online, to the check-in process, all the way to the very last minute on the boat.Most of our guests traveled from out of town so they absolutely LOVED it, and even for us New Yorkers who have been living here for a while, when do you get a chance to get THIS up close & personal with the Statue of Liberty?Seriously, doing this boat tour was the best decision ever to kick off our wedding festivities!Many of the other cruise lines we looked at had really mediocre boats (think gross looking carpets and ugly ballroom decor) but Classic Harbor’s boat was classy, elegant and just perfect. It rained for ~10 minutes so at one point and close to 100 of us were inside and there was plenty of room for everyone.It’s not cheap, but worth every dollar in my opinion.Do it! You won’t regret it :)

Allison Hay: We had the most amazing experience during our sunset cruise! Andrew, Shannon and Connor all went out of their way to have conversations with all the guests and give their personal recommendations when asked. Shannon captured some amazing pictures of our group and kept us laughing the entire time! I cannot recommend this cruise enough, just know if you have the same crew it will be such an amazing experience! It’s obvious they love what they do, and they’re incredible at it!

Macarena Deana: Hermosa experiencia, vistas a la ciudad en el atardecer acompañadas por jazz en vivo.La atención es impecable, el personal muy simpático.Me hubiera gustado tener vistas de los puentes de Brooklyn y Manhattan.El jazz a veces se perdía por el ruido del motor del barco y el viento.Recomiendo llevar abrigo ya que hace más frío que en la ciudad.Precios elevados pero muy recomendable si está a vuestro alcance

B Tribeca: Informative and entertaining. Birds Eye view with expert information if the architecture of NYC, and NJ. Despite the torrid rain, we had a great time. I have one small complaint. Since the trip departs rain or shine, it’s nearly impossible to see through rain soaked windows. A small percentage of us (me included) chose to brave the storm , get soaked , and viewed the tour outside. We had a ball. Trip can be bumpy at times, and slippery outdoors, especially during the rain I’d do it again , and again.

Mary Sheeran: What a great trip! I've done the sunset cruise several times over the years and am always impressed with the crew. They certainly know their business, and they also make the trip fun and easygoing while at the same time being alert to any safety issues. This crew included Ivan and Chris (it was on Saturday the 15th) - I forget the other names, I'm afraid. I thought it would be canceled because the weather was iffy, but they simply delayed it, checking the radar to make sure it was safe. We had a little rain at first, but they had ponchos for us, and hey, the weather simply added to the merriment. The rain didn't last long, but the merriment did. The weather had all cleared up by the time we got to the Statue of Liberty. What fun it was to wave and cheer at other boats going by - and getting some perspective away from the city - some clean, cool air. The clouds broke and light shone through over the Statue of Liberty, which just added to the pleasant night. This is one of the best things to do in NYC.

Amanda Ace: We did the city lights cruise. Overbooked. The outdoor seating is limited and wasn't nearly enough for every customer to have a seat outside. Who wants to sit inside on a city lights cruise?!?!Took a long time to get our drinks because we were the last table to be served, and as I mentioned - they overbooked. On the booking website they had offered the option to pay ahead of time for 2 extra drinks (the first one is complimentary) and food. I ordered the extra drinks and an appetizer, but we never got the appetizer because service took so long, and as I mentioned - no one wants to sit inside during a cruise!Overall it was an okay experience, but we paid a lot of money for it and it just wasn't what I expected.

Natalya Weinstein: We had a wonderful boat ride on the Adirondack Schooner! The captain and crew were so friendly and knowledgeable. The booking process and communication was easy and clear, and we enjoyed the drink selection on board. Can't wait for our next adventure with Classic Harbor Line!

Chad Fulk: We were very well informed in advance on how and when to get to the location. Check in and boarding was easy. The crew was very friendly and helpful. The boat was very very nice and clean. They took us very close to the Statue of Liberty. It was a great experience!

Farid Ousaci: Perfect

Bonnie Davis: We enjoyed the tour and all the staff were wonderful. We learned so much and were entertained as well.

Alex Heath: Great crew, clean boat, and a fun ride. Would highly recommend

John Handscomb: I've been visiting NYC my entire life and this was one of my favorite experiences.

Avi Robbins: Best way to see the Manhattan skyline by boat. Quaint and upscale boat with reserved table for our party made it extremely relaxing and comfortable. Smaller size made the service very personal and was similar in price to other very touristy options.

Caroline Desmond: Really worthwhile tour on a smaller boat. Very comfortable and our crew were amazing and our guide super knowledgeable. The best way to see NYC from the water while learning about all the landmarks.

Olivier Level: It was a great brunch cruise. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with our children. The staff was very nice, the ship was very clean and comfortable and the food was very good. We enjoyed this cruise

Suzanne Green: Such a terrific crew. Mark, Maggie, Connor and the captain made our experience on the Full Moon truly magical. The views were amazing, the food was delicious and we felt so comfortable.

Kathy Miller: Our trip was fantastic – we had a really beautiful sail to Ellis Island and the views were incredible. Our tour guide was really charismatic and entertaining and knowledgeable, and we all had a great time!

Kyle Gittleson: Captain Dave was very attentive from the start. Timely replies, clean boat and professional demeanor. Our law firm will do another event with him for sure!

Jennifer Kim: Highly recommend this sailing trip for an intimate private celebration, relaxation, or taking in the beauty of NYC. The captain was friendly and professional. He made sure we had access to blankets and jackets, if needed. We were able to bring our own light snacks and a few bottles of bubbles. The boat is kept clean and safe. It was clear that the captain knew the layout of the city and all the best and safe spots to enjoy the sailing experience. We booked this sail for early June when the weather was cloudy and windy - which turned out GREAT because not a lot of people were sailing and we got to freely sail around without heavy boat traffic! The captain was a great teacher in explaining any questions we had on how the weather impacts sailing. He was just absolutely wonderful in interacting with us and giving us private space to enjoy our own moments with friends. Definitely worth booking and enjoying this service!

Kaitlyn Underwood: Dave is very knowledgeable of the sea and city. Had a blast sailing around and learning about the history of the Statue of Liberty and other historical events!

Joel Lopez: Great place to watch the sunset!!

Harry Ostrer: Great sail! Captain Clark is a delight.

Justin Chabot: What a wonderful LAST MINUTE pleasure sailing experience with Tribeca Sailing and Captain Clark! Such an amazing way to see the city from a totally different perspective, and Clark knows so much about the history of the city, there was never a dull moment.The Wind was on and off, but our captain really knew how to make the boat perform in any wind or river condition. I even got to steer!I honestly can't recommend this tour enough. Fun for the whole family!

Mallory Sheehan: We had the best time with Levi and Tribeca sailing! This is the best way to spend a beautiful evening in New York seeing the Statue Liberty, enjoying the sunset, and learning about NYC. Thank you Tribeca Sailing!

Ben J: Fantastic experience. 10/10 would recommend Captain David and Captain Levi. They helped me pull off an incredible engagement on their private charter cruise. Thanks for making our day so special. We'll definitely be back!
