You don't always realize the beauty of the city standing so small in the midst of the concrete jungle, but being able to be out on the waters and looking at the expansive skyline was awe inspiring! Shout out to Captain Erin for showing us an AMAZING time and for being so hospitable. If you are able to request for a Captain, please ask for Captain Erin. She helped us get all the wonderful shots of the city and showed us gorgeous views in the time we had with her. She even helped us take some really cute photos - thank you for that! Thank you again for showing us the most magnificent views and for being our captain, Captain Erin!! So grateful for you and the experience! * Pro Tip: in order for us to not scuff the boat, we ordered silicon covers for our shoes - this helped a ton with maintaining cleanliness on our Captain's boat and also allowed us to keep our shoes on during the trip!

I came across a deal though Living Social & figured why not give it a try…read more The deal was for after work cruise on Fridays u have to make reservations online & then u are set. My friends & I were here this past Friday , boarding is at 7 & departs by 730. Once settled we got some drinks & enjoyed the views. I had some Vodka & cranberry , this was not bad decent drink my friends had Jack & coke & Malibu & pineapple also not bad. First round drinks was reasonably priced think it was $27 this is not bad but they do offer an unlimited option for $50 this is a pretty good deal specially if u plan on having more than 2 drinks , we ended up getting this for the rest of the cruise. They serve food buffet style u can purchase for $10 not terrible if u are hungry one of the girls decided on getting some rice , chicken , ribs , plantains & potatoes not bad. The boat itself is ok they don't seem to put a lot of effort into making it look nicer it can probably benefit from some sprucing up maybe new paint , decorations etc. The real winner here is the lovely city views really can't go wrong specially on a nice summer day. Good music, drinks were good , food was ok prices & service at the bars were not bad this was a good deal to try a nice way to spend a few hours doing happy hour differently.

I specifically chose the JC port because it takes you around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (two attractions I don't visit too often). Whereas the Hoboken one takes you along the city skyline which I always see lol I will say if you get seasick please be sure to take your dramamine ahead of the trip to ease your nerves because it does get a bit wavey on the boat. The boat is BYOB (beer, wines, ciders, seltzers) nothing harder than that or you won't be able to board the boat. You can also bring on easy cleanable snacks. Overall really cool and different experience in the NYC area and I'd for sure do this again!

My mom and I had an absolute blast on our boat tour! I booked the 60-minute trip from Chelsea Piers…read morefor our final day in the city. To start, the arrival instructions emailed in advance were accurate and easy to follow and accounted for local construction. Our tour was for us and one couple; Captain Bryant was our captain, and he was an absolute delight. He went through the safety information and told us what to expect from our time on the water as well as some information about our boat before leading us to it right on time. The boat was at the end of the floating docks with a lockable storage container nearby in case anyone wanted to store purses or backpacks. We got a bit of a chuckle once we got on board, because we had never seen seats like this on a boat before! The seats were two across and you sat on one by straddling. Grab bars were at the front. (There aren't any seatbelts!) Captain Bryant told us the seats in the front were the "bounciest", so naturally, that's what we chose. We went slowly out of the marine before -- with a heads up -- our captain got us to what felt like a pretty high speed! My mom and I are both moderate adrenaline junkies and were pretty thrilled. It was a definite rush but never, ever felt unsafe. From there, Captain Bryant alternating between "hitting the gas" and stopping at multiple spots for absolutely stunning views of midtown, downtown, the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and more. He was super clear, easy to understand, and informative about each stop but never boring. He also took photos (with our own phones) at the stops whenever we wanted, which was very kind. He got us back after the hour -- again, right on time, and we chatted with him a bit about how enjoyable he finds this job. It's clear in the entire experience what a wonderful fit it is for him -- and he is for it. I wouldn't recommend this tour for someone with mobility or balance issues, or someone who would feel exposed and anxious in such a relatively small (but FAST) boat out on the rivers. But for me, it's one of my favorite boat tours I've ever taken anywhere. It was 1000% worth the money (with no upselling!).

I booked a sunset cruise with Captain Jack Boat Charters along the North Shore of the Long Island…read moreSound, and it was fantastic from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable, easily fit our group, and Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced (he holds a U.S. Coast Guard Masters License, so you're in good hands). The views along the Sound were gorgeous, especially as the sun started to set. He was flexible with our timing and made the whole experience feel personal rather than like a generic tour. Whether you're looking for a dinner trip, a sunset cruise, or just a relaxing afternoon on the water, I highly recommend reaching out. Will definitely be booking again for a future occasion.

This was one of the most shocking customer experiences I've ever had…read more My reservation was accepted months in advance. I received confirmation emails, booking numbers, check-in instructions, and multiple emails thanking me for my purchase. Like any reasonable customer, I believed I had a legitimate reservation. At no point during the booking process, in the confirmation emails, or on my reservation was I ever told that I was on a waiting list. In fact, everything I received indicated that my reservation was confirmed. Then, just FOUR DAYS before the event, I received an email informing me that there was no space unless I agreed to pay $1,200 PER PERSON. When I called customer service to understand what had happened, I was told that I had actually been on a waiting list all along. That was the first time I had ever heard those words. If customers are on a waiting list, they deserve to be told before they spend months planning flights, hotels, and an entire vacation--not after everything has already been booked. Think about that for a moment. A company advertises an event, accepts reservations, sends confirmation emails, provides booking numbers and check-in instructions, thanks customers for booking, and allows them to spend months planning their trip around what appears to be a confirmed reservation. Then, only days before the event, it announces that the reservation can only be honored if customers pay $1,200 per person. To me, this shifts 100% of the risk onto the customer while leaving the company with virtually none. The refund of my small deposit did not refund my flights, my hotel expenses, my vacation planning, my lost opportunities, or the trust I placed in this company. The strongest legal disclaimer in the world cannot manufacture trust once it has been broken. Fine print may protect a contract, but it can never repair a reputation. Businesses are remembered not for the loopholes they write, but for the promises they keep. A confirmed reservation should mean something. Customers should not spend months planning a trip only to face what feels like an ultimatum days before the event: pay an extraordinary amount of money or lose the experience they planned their vacation around. Whether this practice is ultimately permissible under the company's terms is for consumer protection authorities and the courts to decide. From a customer's perspective, however, it felt profoundly unfair and completely inconsistent with the trust people place in a confirmed booking. I will never trust this company again, and I strongly encourage anyone considering booking with them to think carefully before making travel plans around one of their "confirmed" reservations. Trust is earned over years and can be destroyed in a single email. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here.
