Description

Experience New York City from a fresh perspective as you ride your own jet ski along the Hudson River and New York Harbor. After a short safety briefing, set out with a guide leading the way, but at your own pace, making this adventure both thrilling and flexible. Feel the energy of the city as you skim across the water, taking in panoramic views of Manhattan’s legendary skyline.

Your route brings you up close to the Statue of Liberty, where you can pause for unbeatable photo opportunities of Lady Liberty with the city as your backdrop. Glide past Ellis Island and its historic red brick museum, reflecting on the journeys of millions of immigrants. Continue north to spot the futuristic Vessel at Hudson Yards and the soaring Edge sky deck, then catch glimpses of the Empire State Building and the Freedom Tower rising above the cityscape.

Along the way, you’ll also see Governor’s Island, Battery Park, the Financial District, and the U.S.S. Intrepid Aircraft Carrier. All rentals include wetsuits, riding gear, and safety equipment, so you can focus on the fun. No prior jet ski experience is needed—just bring your sense of adventure. The tour ends back at the starting point, leaving you free to explore more of New York on land.
