Recent reviews in new jersey.

Lisa gave us the best birthday party ever! This boat was super fun, elegant, and inexpensive for my friend's birthday celebration. We saw all of the landmarks on the east river while playing our favorite music. I cannot thank Lisa enough for allowing us to have such a special evening. Everything was streamlined from booking until the event. She answered all my questions timely and made sure everything was on schedule. The captain she arranged was also hilarious and accommodating! Thank you, Lisa! We will be sure to book again.

Lisa is incredibly communicative and made sure our we had a smooth experience and know what to expect! The boat was clean, roomy, and exceeded our expectations. She is accommodating, friendly, and warm. It was a great value for the price, my friends and I had so much fun with this unique experience! I would definitely book with Lisa again

2021 Cobalt 23SC Powerboat in Seaside Heights. 3 year old boat, fast and fun!

Thank you John for an excellent trip! Captain John went out of his way to make sure the whole group enjoyed their experience making sure we were all well accommodated for. I would recommend taking any trip out on the boat with him. Definitely a great time! We will be doing this again.

My friends and I had such a great trip on the Liberty Pearl for my bachelorette! We did a 2 hour cruise and got to see all the sights including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the beautiful NYC skyline. Our captain was so nice and professional. We had 11 people in our group and there was plenty of room on the boat for a group of our size. It was such a perfect day - I highly recommend booking with Lisa!

Wow! What a magical way to celebrate my birthday!! From the moment I inquired about booking with Captain Andy, he greeted me with such warmth and enthusiasm. On the day of, he was so welcoming towards my family and I, handling us with such patience and care, ensuring our safety and comfort. And, let’s not forget the level of skill he harnessed as we sailed the Hudson! We took on a few waves; there was a particularly big one that quickly became the highlight of our trip. Some members of my family have had bad experiences in water, but I was delighted to share and witness their excitement around facing it. Trusting in Captain Andy’s years of sailing experience we were all free to embrace a little splash. My little sister’s reaction was especially precious, as it was her first time being aboard a boat. “More waves! More!” Haha! Thank You, Captain Andy for such a memorable sail experience. This definitely won’t be my last time booking. To those of you reading, what are you waiting for?! Book him!!

NEW 2024! The Big Kahuna 18 Passenger Tiki Boat

Our recent tiki boat adventure was nothing short of amazing! The experience was incredibly unique and fun, even more so when we unexpectedly found ourselves in the middle of a rainstorm. Justin and his crew handled the situation like champions, ensuring our safety while keeping the energy high and the atmosphere enjoyable. It turned into an exhilarating and unforgettable part of our vacation. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, I highly recommend this tiki boat ride. It's an experience you'll cherish forever!

This way, you can have a licensed professional take care of the navigation while you relax onboard with your friends and family. For more information on boat operator licenses for New Jersey, check out the Department of Law & Safety's marine safety website .
