Great morning out on the Hudson. Patrick our guide was informative, friendly and responsive. It was a fun experience whilst at the same time being educative. The seats had built in shock absorbers which made the bouncing about on the ways comfortable I would highly recommend this company.

Pat was guiding us in the privet tour and showed us the best places and views. The boat was super fun and in my opinion- way better than the bigger ones. It was one of the greatest attractions in our trip to NY!

It was an amazing experience than discovering NYC from this angle and at this speed. The team was so great, funny, and easy to talk to! And I learnt a lot about NYC as well.

Our captain was incredibly generous. He was extremely generous with helping my father (who’s in a wheelchair) enter the boat. He offered to take pictures while out on the water. Very knowledgeable while giving the tour. Would definitely take this tour again with friends and family!

The Media Boat Adventure Tour is fantastic! An hour zooming around all the major sites of Lower Manhattan, up the East River and Hudson and New York Harbor (Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, Liberty Island, Ellis Island among many others). The boat paused allowing us to get great pictures at all the sites. The commentary was excellent and extremely well-informed. I can't recommend it highly enough!

What a fabulous hour we had seeing the sights aboard the speedboat, which was great fun too. Excellent value, especially when compared to the cost of a helicopter ride. I can highly recommend this, one of the best parts of our holiday and we got some fab photos too!
