New York City Sightseeing Boat Tours
Probably the most popular activity in New York City is a sightseeing cruise. Most tourists will make time to enjoy the city’s skyline from the water.
What Tour to Choose?
Day tours, night tours, two-hour long, three-hour long...there are numerous options. All leave from Pier 83 in West Manhattan.
When choosing a Manhattan boat tour, you should consider whether you'd prefer to enjoy the views during the day or at night, and how long you'd like to spend sailing around the city.
There are also boat tours that include dinner, which can be a great option if you're looking for a unique experience:
