Family Adventure in New York Harbor

Family Adventure in New York Harbor

 

This summer, take the family on a trip they will NEVER forget — right from the heart of FiDi!

New York Media Boat’s Adventure Sightseeing Tours will take you and your young adventurers on a high-speed ride through New York Harbor. Cruise on the same boats that TV and film crews book to capture breaking news, sharks, seals, whales and iconic shots of New York City!

This 90-minute trip is the #1 tour in NYC on TripAdvisor and was designed by a professional photographer. The Coast Guard-licensed captains who narrate the tour are experts at positioning the boat for the perfect shot.

Departing daily from Brookfield Place, the tours start on the Hudson, with great views of the World Trade Center, Chelsea Piers, the Highline, the Empire State Building, Hudson Yards, and The Vessel. After a stop at the Intrepid, it’s back down the Hudson and around the Battery to the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, and the downtown heliport.

A pause under the Manhattan Bridge near Brooklyn Beach gives you the chance to take amazing photos of the Brooklyn Bridge against the Manhattan skyline.

After passing Governors Island, the boat zips toward the Statue of Liberty, providing one of the best photo ops on the tour, before heading back into port.

NYMB’s Adventure Sightseeing Tour is perfect for kids age 6 and up. Private boats are available for groups up to 14. Put an Adventure Sightseeing Tour together with all the great food at Brookfield Place for a birthday party they will always remember.

For schedule and pricing, please visit NYMediaBoat.com or call 347-789-0588. We hope to welcome you aboard!
