About this Experience

What you'll do:

You'll launch off Pier 13 in Hoboken on a brand-new 2025 Sea-Doo jet ski and ride out into the Hudson River with the Manhattan skyline in front of you and the Statue of Liberty getting closer by the minute.

  • Guided tour on the open water: A certified safety instructor leads your group from the dock, covering everything you need to know before anyone gets on a machine, so first-timers feel ready and confident from the start.

  • Iconic landmarks from the water: Your route takes you past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the full Manhattan skyline, giving you a vantage point most visitors to New York never see.

  • Brand-new 2025 Sea-Doo fleet: Every machine in the fleet is current-year and officially endorsed by Sea-Doo, with a top speed of 60 mph for riders who want to push it.

  • All gear included: Life jackets, wetsuits, gloves, and boots are provided for every rider, so your group shows up and rides without any prep or extra purchases.

  • Photo and video packages available: A dedicated camera team captures posed shots and action footage during your tour, with files delivered afterward and ready to share.

The whole tour runs 45 minutes, long enough to cover the full route and spend real time on the water. For groups of five or more, additional guides join so everyone can ride at their own pace without anyone feeling rushed or held back.

Why we love it for your bachelorette:

  1. Bucket-list moment for the bride: Jet skiing past the Statue of Liberty with your whole crew is the kind of thing that gets talked about long after the weekend ends.

  2. No experience required: Your guides handle all the safety briefing and on-water instruction, so nobody needs to have ridden before to keep up and have a great time.

  3. Built for groups of all sizes: Tours accommodate up to 20 jet skis, with multiple guides for larger parties and flexible pacing so every rider goes at their own speed.

  4. Insta-worthy photo and video coverage: The add-on package captures the full session, including action shots on the water with the Manhattan skyline behind you.

  5. Easy access from Manhattan: Pier 13 in Hoboken is a 10-minute ferry, train, or bus ride from the city, with no car or rideshare coordination needed.
