NYCbySEA is Manhattan’s premier sightseeing cruise company, offering tourists an unforgettable experience aboard a luxurious 28-foot powerboat cruiser, docked at Pier 25 in Manhattan and Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City. The business was voted Best Boat Tour in America by USA Today Reader’s Choice and holds a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Every tour is limited to just 6 passengers, guided by U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains around historic New York Harbor, taking in the Hudson River, Battery Park, and the East River. Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks or light hors d’oeuvres and listen to their choice of music while soaking in panoramic city views — a far more intimate experience than a crowded sightseeing boat.

Commercial Charters run a one-hour Manhattan sightseeing tour, stopping at Freedom Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty, with ample time to photograph the city’s most iconic landmarks. Private Charters offer a fully custom itinerary for any occasion, from a romantic evening or celebratory night out with friends to a once-in-a-lifetime view of Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks, or taking out-of-town clients and international business associates sightseeing. NYCbySEA also specializes in Marriage Proposals, coordinating every detail in advance so the captain can guide guests through an unforgettable, private moment on the water.

Guest testimonials consistently describe the experience as “truly first class” and “simply awesome,” with amazing memories made on the tour.

For visitors and locals looking for an intimate, luxury sightseeing cruise, private charter, or a proposal on the water in New York Harbor, NYCbySEA offers an award-winning, highly reviewed experience aboard a 28-foot powerboat.
