If you are traveling with teens, this is the perfect way to see the Statue of Liberty. Most kids are not interested in standing in a long line to take the regular tour that lasts hours. I've taken two groups of teenagers on The Beast and they have absolutely LOVED it. It really is a fun way to see the... More

This was a great ride and we had a wonderful time. The views of the harbor are spectacular. But you do get soaked. And not like a nice, clean shower - you are drenched (depending on which side of the boat you are on you will get soaked on the way out or the return trip). Since we don't live... More

the beast is in hibernation they dont tell you that on the site you only get to know it when you get there and again someone without a smile or the time of day to give away tells you and then hard sells the other trips.

We experienced the Beast as part of the New York Pass, and we were not disappointed. the ride was fast, loud, wet and thoroughly enjoyable. only criticism....could have been longer. we were just getting into it when it ended. The staff were enthusiastic and really made the ride.

We were so surprised at taking the "Beast" in NYC. Its right past the Intrepid Museum, so you can explore both if you want. Very cool people run the boat. They park for awhile in front of the Statue of Liberty,so you can give them your camera and they will be happy to take a picture of you in front... More

It does say you will get wet and you do! We went on a hot day and did not book the boat does hold quite alot of people. I would have liked to been at the front as it looked better fun however being about half way back was still great. One of the crew comes around when you are... More

We purchased the New York City Ticket Package. Instead of riding on the circle line for 2-3 hours, we chose to ride "The Beast". The powerful speedboat was great fun instead of sitting in the hot sun for several hours. The staff organized a fun show while cruising down river. The captain aimed to please by doing some powerboat stunts.... More

I took a group of college students visiting from Japan on this boat. We all LOVED it! It was a hot summer day and we enjoyed the wind and getting wet. It was fun from start to finish. My favorite part was going up close head on to see the Statue of Liberty. The captain and crew were professional and... More

The Good: faster than the circle line, this boat ride offers a quick trip to the statue of liberty and great views of the NYC skyline. The Bad: loud obnoxious music, and predictable commentary make the trip almost unbareable. When the boat captian starts doing donuts in the harbor to soak everyone and then the "first mate" follows that trick... More
