Downtown New York City is filled with iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor. All of them are a wonder to behold and selfie-ready as long as you find the right vantage point. New York Harbor Tours has you covered when it comes to excellent vantage points, too. Our popular Daytime Downtown NYC Loop Tour is the ideal way to feast your eyes on the best that the City that Never Sleeps has to offer. 

Private Charter Boat Tours are Available

Crowded boat tours often give you the feeling of being packed in a can with some fellow sardines. With COVID-19 social distancing measures in place, that option takes on a whole new meaning altogether. Fortunately, New York Harbor Tours offers a one-of-a-kind private (and safe) maritime experience on our Private Charter Boat Tours.

It’s important to note that we will only be doing private charters until further notice. This precaution minimizes the mixing of different groups aboard our vessels. Keeping our tours intimate also ensures that our passengers don’t get a crowded vibe and that passengers and crew don’t get the Coronavirus.

How We Keep Customers Safe & Healthy

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, these are uncertain times. In light of that, it is natural to have concerns about your safety and health during your excursion. We want to reassure you that your safety & health is always New York Harbor Tours’ mission and top priority. 

With regards to cleanliness, we always swab our boats thoroughly with soap and bleach nightly. Additionally, surfaces of the boat are disinfected after every trip. We keep the head (restroom) stocked with hand sanitizer for the crew and passengers to use. Likewise, the galley sink is ever at the ready with clean towels and hand soap for everyone. Passengers are encouraged to sanitize or wash their hands anytime they board our vessels. 

Where Does the Boat Tour Go?

The Daylight Downtown NYC Loop Tour departs from Pier 25 downtown. From there, we will loop around the tip of Manhattan and head up the East and Hudson Rivers. While you’re accompanying us on the refreshing waterways, you are in good hands with our Coast Guard-licensed captains. 

During the tour, the experienced and knowledgeable Captain David Critchell brings you up close and personal to the historic and photogenic points of interest you’ve wanted to visit. 

The captain will also navigate the tranquil waters to create the distance necessary to pan out and give you breathtaking views of attractions. The skyline of Downtown Manhattan and the stunning vistas offered by New York City’s renowned rivers are best viewed this way. 

What You’ll Encounter

The itinerary for your private boat tour is loaded with two hours’ worth of entertainment and wonder awaiting you along New York’s waterways. From the Chrysler Building to Ellis Island, here are some of the beautiful and exciting things you can expect to encounter from your own private deck: 

  • The Chrysler Building – The distinctive and super tall Chrysler Building is an icon and appears in several films set in NYC. 

  • The Empire State Building – New York City is said to start here, and you will get to view the World’s Most Famous Building in all its glory. 

  • The Statue of Liberty – The Daylight Downtown NYC Loop Tour passes by Lady Liberty, the famous national monument and colossal neoclassical statue at Liberty Island.

  • The Brooklyn Bridge – During the tour, you will get to marvel at the depth of civil engineering that went in the making of the Brooklyn Bridge.

  • The Freedom Tower – Also known as the One World Trade or One WTC, it is the main building that rose Phoenix-like from the ashes of the original Twin Towers. Magnificent!

  • Ellis Island – You can see and be in awe of the place where 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port were processed when they came to NYC and New Jersey.

You’ll see and experience those sights and more during your two-hour Daytime Downtown NYC Loop Tour. The Loop Tour is easily the best way to see what NYC has to offer from the privacy and comfort of your deck. Chartering with us is a private experience that feels like you are on your own boat, and it’s also one that you won’t likely forget.
