Everything went very well. Just for people who don't understand English, we should warn them to take their headphones to follow the audio guide from the application. Without them, it's impossible to listen from the phone's speaker because the guide's voice drowns out everything on the boat.

We were lucky with the weather! the view is truly magnificent. !! The return to Manhattan was not complete as planned because it was not possible to cross one of the bridges! We returned to the starting point, making only 2/3 of the route, but what I saw was magnificent.

A fantastic day out. Couldn’t go right around Manhattan, due to tidal level and UN being in session, however, trip still lasted the full two and a half hours. Andy, the guide was excellent…full of information, but humorous with it. Great views of Statue of Liberty, Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn, sailing under the bridges and Riverside Drive and Park too. Also included information about Hoboken and New Jersey too.
