What to Expect

Welcome aboard!

Our 60-minute Speedboat Ride takes you on an unforgettable trip through the harbor! You’ll experience the city from unique vantage points, carefully chosen with the photographer’s interest in mind. We’ll bring you within feet of major sights and create plenty of distance to shoot the panoramic skyline. Our captains stop the boat at many places along the way to point out landmarks and give you the opportunity to take photos. All tours are narrated in English.

New York Media Boat zips you to over 40 sights around the local waterways.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION: This tour departs from CHELSEA PIERS MARINA located in Midtown Manhattan very close to the "Little Island". After a briefing on the dock, you'll board our safe and seaworthy boat. We’ll leave Manhattan and head out into the Hudson River to get spectacular views of the skyline and to give you an orientation of the lay of the land. We run south along the Manhattan waterfront, past the Little Island and the FDNY fireboat station down to the Financial District and Battery Park. We stop at the most southern point of Manhattan from where you can take great photos of the downtown skyline before we head into the East River and often see helicopters takeoff and land as we pass South Street Seaport. We go under the Brooklyn Bridge, and up to the Manhattan Bridge -- another favorite photo spot. We continue to cruise along the Brooklyn waterfront and past Governors Island before we cross the Upper Bay, where you’ll see tugboats, barges, the Staten Island Ferry. We stop the boat real close to the Statue of Liberty to give you the perfect vantage point for photos with her and of the entire world-famous NYC skyline. We then head north on the Hudson River past Ellis Island, the New Jersey ‘9/11 Empty Sky Memorial’, past the Colgate Clock and stop above the Holland Tunnel. From there you’ll get great views of midtown and downtown as well as of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and Hudson Yards. We continue north on the Hudson River along the Hoboken waterfront and then cross the river returning to Chelsea Piers.
