EXPLORE MANHATTAN ON OUR THRILLING NYC JET SKI TOUR!
Our jumping-off point is Liberty Landing Marina in New Jersey. This is a beautiful, modern facility located on the Hudson River directly across from Battery Park (near the 9/11 Memorial). We are just 10 minutes from Manhattan by ferry!) After our safety briefing and some basic training we will be on the way!
Circumnavigate all of Manhattan Island. Enjoy up close views and photos opportunities at:
- World Trade Center
- The Vessel
- George Washington Bridge
- The Columbia “C”
- Yankee Stadium
- Pepsi Cola Sign
- United Nations
- Empire State Building
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Statue of Liberty
- Ellis Island
- Amazing views of the Skyline
What to expect on our 2-hour tour:
- Leaving Liberty Landing Marina, we will enjoy breathtaking views of the downtown Manhattan skyline including the Freedom Tower. We will begin our journey heading north on the Hudson River.
- Passing Little Island and Chelsea Piers, we will stop at Hudson Yards for an epic photo opportunity with you on a jetski, the iconic Vessel in the background and the skyline perfectly framing the Empire State Building. If we’re lucky, we may get to watch helicopters take off and land.
- As we continue further uptown, the water tends to become calmer and we have a chance to really enjoy some high speed fun. We will stop and take a photo with the George Washington Bridge and the Little Red Lighthouse.
- Passing under the bridge, we will continue onwards towards the northern tip of Manhattan and until we turn to east to enter the Harlem river.
- We will stop by the Columbia University “C”, painted by the university crew team in the 1950s. We now have The Bronx on our left side and Manhattan on the right.
- Look out to your left for Yankee Stadium. We will stop and take a photo here too with this iconic landmark.
- Now heading south, we will enter the East River, passing by Roosevelt Island Queens is now on our left side. We will stop at the Pepsi Cola sign in Long Island City, where to our right in Manhattan we will be able to spot the UN Headquarters.
- Continuing south, Queens turns into Brooklyn. We will pass under the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges, stopping to snap pictures with the Brooklyn bridge alongside Pebble Beach and Jane’s Carousel in DUMBO.
- After taking in the amazing view we will head down the coast of Brooklyn, running by Governor’s Island and enjoying views of the Verrazano Bridge, where we will be able to spot the 5th borough on our tour, Staten Island.
- As we get to the south side of Governor’s Island, we’ll get our first great glimpse of Lady Liberty.
- Riding straight across one of the busiest and deepest natural harbors in the world, we will get up close to the Statue of Liberty. After getting enough pictures to make all of your friends jealous, we will make a full circle of Liberty
Island, past historic Ellis Island and, riding by Jersey City’s Colgate Clock, we will turn in, finally back home to our Marina at Liberty State Park
More Than a Tour. An Adventure.
Experience New York Harbor like never before, on your own Sea-Doo GTX Pro, with a guide riding alongside.
You Drive. You Control.
This isn’t a boat tour where you’re just a passenger. You’re on your own Sea-Doo GTX Pro, carving through the harbor with Manhattan’s skyline as your backdrop. Your guide rides alongside — not ahead on a distant boat.
Water-Level Views
Get closer to the Statue of Liberty than most people ever will. Park your jet ski right next to Ellis Island. Cruise under the Brooklyn Bridge. These aren’t distant views from a ferry deck — you’re in the water.
Perfect For Everyone
First-time visitors who want an unforgettable NYC story. Locals celebrating something special. Adventure seekers tired of the same old tourist traps. Groups looking for the one activity everyone will actually enjoy.
The Story You’ll Tell
Your Instagram feed will thank you. Your friends will be jealous. This is the one NYC experience they’ll ask you about months later. Not “how was the ferry?” — “Wait, you drove a jet ski past the Statue of Liberty?!”
Not a Loudspeaker. A Local Expert.

Questions?
Rain is not the only weather that can prevent us from being able to take a tour out. Weather and water conditions can be dangerous even if it appears to be a beautiful day out. If we cancel your tour, you will be given a choice to reschedule or receive a full refund. We will typically notify you of cancellation at least three hours prior to tour time. However, if you are concerned about the conditions, give us a call and ask.
