Our Route

We’ll leave Manhattan and head out on the Hudson River to get spectacular views of downtown and midtown with the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Going north on the Hudson, you'll see the FDNY Fireboat Station, Chelsea Piers, the VIP Heliport, Hudson Yards Project, the Highline, and the Jacob Javits Convention Center, before stopping at the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier and Cruise Ship Terminal. 

We then cross over to the New Jersey shoreline and run south for panoramic views of the entire skyline. From Hoboken, we cross back over to Manhattan and stop right in front of the Financial District and Freedom Tower. Rounding Battery Park, we enter the East River where you'll see the helicopters take-off and land, as we cruise past South Street Seaport, go under the Brooklyn Bridge and to the Manhattan Bridge. After taking in the iconic views, we run along the Brooklyn waterfront, past the Red Hook Container Terminal, and around Governors Island.

Crossing the Upper Bay, you'll see commercial vessels such as tug boats, oil barges, and the Staten Island Ferry while making our way to the Statue of Liberty. We stop right outside the security zone so you can get an up-close and unobstructed view of Lady Liberty. Returning to Manhattan, we pass Ellis Island, and you'll have great views of the entire world-famous NYC downtown skyline. We hope to welcome you aboard!

At each of our 12 tour stops, the captain positions the boat so that every guest can get a perfect photo and will help guests with any photo requests.

Brilliant! This was a really efficient and fun way to see some of the great NYC sights, eg Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn bridge, Ellis Island. And from a different perspective from the boat. Great fun and an excellent, friendly skipper (Eric). Highly recommended!

Eric gave us a wonderful tour of New York from the water. He was knowledgeable, competent and kind. This was my second time on this tour and it did not disappoint! My 4 friends (70 something ladies) agreed that this was the best thing we did in NYC. One friend has lived in Manhattan for 50 years and was just thrilled by the experience. The boat feels very secure but FAST. You will not believe how much you get to see and that the entire experience was just 1 hour. I would recommend the tour for all ages. On n our first trip, we had a teenager who was laughing/screaming/having a blast.

This is our fourth time taking a tour with Media Boat. It's that good! No tour is the same. Captains always make sure everyone on board has a fantastic experience. They are personable, reliable and will provide you with a New York experience unlike any other.
