About this tour

Watch New York City shift from sunset glow to a glittering night skyline on this 1.5-hour boat tour. From spacious open-air decks, take in broad harbor views as the sun slips behind the Statue of Liberty and the city’s lights begin to shine.

Feel the breeze as you cruise and enjoy DJ-curated music on board. The boat stops directly in front of the Statue of Liberty, giving you time to capture photos without leaving the vessel. An onboard café sells drinks and light bites, and restrooms are available. Your mobile ticket makes boarding straightforward; arrive early to find the pier and gate.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.88 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
