Experience New York City like never before on a thrilling one-hour evening jet ski tour across New York Harbor. Ride your own jet ski as you cruise past iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the One World Trade Center. As the sun sets, enjoy breathtaking views of the skyline glowing over the water, with plenty of chances to stop for photos. Perfect for both first-time visitors and locals, this unforgettable adventure combines sightseeing with pure excitement.
The “evening” aspect is what really elevates the experience. As the sun sets, the sky shifts into deep oranges and purples, reflecting off the water and glass buildings. The city gradually lights up, giving you a dual experience: golden-hour views followed by the early glow of nighttime NYC. It’s one of the best vantage points to see the skyline without crowds blocking your view.
On our tours, you will be operating your own jet ski while following a guide.
