"Highlight of NYC"
September 2023
This was one of my favorite, if not my favorite, experiences while visiting NYC. The view from the boat around Manhattan as the sun goes down is just breathtaking. If your time is short while in NYC, put this at the top of your list. The crew was nice and organized, plus they had a great drink selection. The commentary while cruising was really interesting as well!
