statue of Liberty Boat

Boat tours remain a quick way to see New York’s waterfront landmarks. Statue of Liberty Boat offers one such option from a dock along the East River. The agency runs scheduled departures that circle Liberty Island and Ellis Island, giving passengers a closer look at the statue and the harbor’s historic immigration station.

Discounts apply for children, and families can take advantage of reduced fares on select sailings. The business is women-owned, a detail noted on their service listings. Tickets can be arranged in advance, though walk-up availability often exists during peak season.

South Street Seaport’s mix of old warehouses and modern piers makes it an active departure point for waterborne excursions. 299 South St, New York, NY 10002 places the ticket booth within steps of the ferry terminal, where signage directs visitors to boarding gates. The area’s cobblestone streets and waterfront promenade are common stops before or after a cruise.
