Enjoy a thrilling ride on The BEAST, NYC's only high-speed boat ride that flies across the waters of New York harbor at 45 miles-per-hour!

The BEAST will take you all the way to Lady Liberty and back in just 30 minutes. Take in the jaw-dropping views of Midtown and lower Manhattan, and stop within 100 feet of the Statue of Liberty for a great photo opportunity.

We were all ecstatic throughout the whole ride, had such a blast. Would recommend this to anybody!

Thank you for the memorable experience with our 2 children. Speed, music, outstanding view over NYC and statue of liberty and Thank you so much to the very funny 2 guys that were on the boat !

Thx for arranging the perfect weather too. Dave

Such an incredible job! I wish I had cash on me to tip them! Just a heads up, be sure to take some cash with you because you will want to tip. They did a perfect job of fun, entertainment, sights, song selection, picture time, and tricks. Incredible job!
