We had an incredible time on the tiki pedaling boat on the Hudson River for my birthday celebration! Despite the water being especially choppy and the wind not in our favor that day, Captain Dave handled everything like a true pro. He was not only incredibly skilled on the water but also fun, upbeat, and made everyone feel safe and taken care of. His assistant was equally great — always attentive and helpful throughout the entire ride. The boat itself was super clean, including the bathroom (huge plus!), and the overall vibe was just perfect. It was such a fun and memorable way to celebrate, and I would 100% do it again — many more times! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and exciting on the Hudson.
These guys are aces. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the area. They give you some awesome views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island not to mention they get you the best opportunity’s to take some extraordinary pictures of these historic sites. Mike the 1st mate is great and very helpful with navigating the boat and taking pictures. Captain G is the “G”. He is very safe with steering the boat on the waterway. From dock to dock. If your looking for a fun time with family or friends this is a must do!!
Spent our 4th on the cycle boat and had so much fun! The captain had great knowledge of the area and was so nice. Loved our experience would definitely come again and again with guests that visit!
This boat ride was great. Professional captain, mate with a personality and a relaxing no stress ride on the Hudson. If you want to forget about life for a while. This is how you do it. Nothing but praise for this offering. I will do it again and again
The entire trip was 10/10. We had some folks show up late and the captain was so understanding and accommodating. We were under the impression there was so bathroom (lol) but there was; and it was nice! Captain Lou and his first mate were so sweet and fun. We will 100% be back & recommend 10x over.
