HERE’S WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY

Amazing Birthday Celebration

Went with a bunch of friends to celebrate my birthday and we had THE MOST AMAZING time. We did the full 2.5 hour all around Manhattan jet ski tour. Tom was our guide and he did a fantastic job showing us around, taking great pics and all around creating a great experience for us. The whole staff was kind, awesome and just all around good vibes from start to finish. The tour itself was phenomenal. We saw everything. The bridges, the Hudson/Harlem and East rivers and finished off by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The whole process went very smoothly and we will definitely be going back again soon. I can’t recommend these guys enough!

This Entire Experience Was Absolutely Amazing

This entire experience was absolutely amazing! I surprised my husband with this hot tub boat tour for his 40th birthday and it was above & beyond my expectations. The crew was very friendly, accommodating & knowledgeable; they each made the experience that much better! The views (need I say more) are just so gorgeous and being on the open water in a hot tub in the middle of winter is simply heaven! My husband's 40th birthday surprise was an experience that we will be talking about for the next 40+ years! If your looking for something special & different to do then book the hot tub boat tour, you will NOT regret it!!! We will definitely be back!

This experience was beyond our expectations!

This experience was beyond our expectations! I booked the hot tub boat tour for my husband's birthday (we set sail at sunset so we got beautiful sunset and nighttime views of the city all lit up) and it was every bit the unique experience I thought it would be. Plus the staff were super helpful and friendly, making this an all around excellent experience!

The view of the Statue of Liberty was amazing!

What can I say… this was such an experience!!! I went with my husband as an early birthday gift to me. What better way to see NY than being in a hot tub while doing so? The water was nice and warm—it was windy on the harbor, but not too bad. The view of the Statue of Liberty was amazing! The staff was super nice and helpful, and overall the ride was perfect! I would do this again 10x!!!

Meet the Team

Your professional jet ski leader has the skill required to safely take our new or experienced jet ski drivers. Safety is of paramount importance to them, so please listen up when they go over basic safety tips and driving instructions. Be aware that it’s necessary to stay within their eyesight at all times. 

We also have experienced crew members who check out each jet ski before you ride them. They’re focused on providing the smoothest ride possible. However, if your jet ski seems like something might be wrong with it, speak up immediately to be switched to another PWC (personal watercraft). 

It’s always our intention to provide a safe and fun tour that you’ll never, ever forget. You might not meet our entire crew but rest assured that each of them is fully dedicated to making sure you have a fantastic time!
