What you can expect

Hold onto your hat as comedic captains take you on an exciting, adrenaline-fueled ride at 45 mph (72 kph) down the Hudson River from Midtown. Make a quick stop near the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to take in the historic sights of the sound before heading back to the pier.

The Beast delivers a thrilling ride on the water with pumping music and spectacular views of the imposing Manhattan skyline. Captains Mad Dog and Wild Thing steer the customised 70-foot (21.3-m) offshore racing powerboat at speeds up to 45 mph (72 kph) and breeze past all other vessels in sight.

Once you depart from the pier, the wind rushes through your hair as you cut across the water. Before you know it, you approach the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Grab some pictures of these renowned landmarks, and then whiz back up the river, along the waterfront of Lower Manhattan.

On hot summer days, sit in the splash zone and catch refreshing sprays of water during your ride. Ponchos will be provided for those willing to brave the waves.
