About this Experience

What you'll do:

You'll ride a brand-new 2025 Sea-Doo out of Pier 13 in Hoboken, hit open water on the Hudson River, and watch the Statue of Liberty get closer as the Manhattan skyline spreads out behind you.

  • Guided safety briefing on the dock - Your certified instructor walks the whole group through controls, rules, and what to expect before anyone starts an engine, so first-timers feel confident from the first wave.

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

  • 2025 Sea-Doo fleet - Every machine is current-year, officially endorsed by Sea-Doo, and capable of 60 mph for riders who want to open it up.

  • All gear provided - Life jackets, wetsuits, gloves, and boots are included for every rider, so you show up, suit up, and go.

  • Photo and video add-on - A dedicated camera team captures action shots and posed photos during the tour, with digital files delivered after so you can share them the same day.

The full tour runs 45 minutes, giving you enough time to cover the whole route and actually sit with the experience instead of rushing through it. For groups of five or more, additional guides join so everyone rides at their own pace.

Why we love it for your bachelorette:

  • Bucket-list moment on the water - Riding past the Statue of Liberty with your whole crew is the kind of thing people bring up for years, not just the weekend.

  • No experience needed - Guides handle the full safety briefing and on-water instruction, so nobody in the group needs a background in water sports to keep up.

  • Built for groups up to 20 - Tours scale to accommodate large parties, with multiple guides added for bigger groups and flexible pacing so no one feels left behind.

  • Photo coverage that actually delivers - The add-on captures action footage and posed shots with the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop, ready to post the same day.

  • Easy to get to from Manhattan - Pier 13 in Hoboken is about 10 minutes by NY Waterway ferry, NJ Transit train, or bus, with no car or rideshare coordination required.
