Meet the Crew of the Hot Tub Boat Cruises

Our crew takes your comfort and safety seriously. When you step aboard our one-of-a-kind hot tub boat, you’ll be greeted by our United States Coast Guard Master Captain. This distinction is the highest rank granted to a civilian captain, and it takes 720 hours at sea to even be eligible for this ranking. Therefore, you know your captain is highly skilled, so you can focus solely on having fun!

The Hot Tub Boat Tour Captain is also a master storyteller. If you want him to, he can share fascinating details and stories about historic sites and the Big Apple during your ride. If you just want to focus on the goings-on of the party and skip the narration, simply let him know when you board.

You’ll also be greeted aboard by our dedicated deckhands. They serve two roles on our hot tub cruise: assisting you and helping the captain. If you need anything at all, feel free to ask a deckhand for it. They’ll make sure you’re all set! In between each set of guests, our deckhands fully sanitize the hot tubs.

All you need to do is board the boat, change into your swimming suit, and you’ll be ready to climb into one of our luxury hot tubs.

NYC hot tub boat cruise route map — departing Jersey City into New York Harbor past One World Trade Center, the Financial District, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge

One World Trade Center

Start with NYC’s tallest landmark

As you settle into the warm water, you’ll cruise out into New York Harbor with One World Trade Center rising in front of you. From the water, you get a full, unobstructed view of the Downtown Manhattan skyline.

Photo Tip: Turn back toward the city and frame the full skyline with One World Trade Center centered in your shot.

Skim past the heart of the Financial District

Glide past the Financial District skyline

Next you’ll shoot up the East River, passing the bright orange Staten Island ferries and the buzzing Wall Street Heliport. This is where you really feel the movement of New York Harbor all around you – ferries, barges, tour boats and helicopters.

Photo Tip: Watch for ferries crossing the channel and helicopters overhead for those classic “only in New York” action shots.

Brooklyn Bridge

Ride beneath one of the world’s most famous bridges

Glide beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and take in sweeping views of both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Your guide will give you time to slow down, soak in the arches, and capture the iconic bridge-and-skyline perspective from water level.

Photo Tip: Face back toward Manhattan and position the bridge off to one side of the frame for a dramatic wide shot.

Governors Island & Verrazzano View

Cruise the Brooklyn shoreline with harbor panoramas

From the bridge you’ll follow the Brooklyn shoreline past Governors Island. On a clear day you’ll spot the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the distance, marking the opening of New York Harbor out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Photo Tip: Look south for a wide, cinematic view that captures the harbor, Governors Island and the Verrazzano all in one shot.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Circle Lady Liberty and finish with a skyline finale

To cap off the tour, you’ll ride straight across one of the busiest natural harbors in the world to get up close to the Statue of Liberty. After a slow loop around Liberty Island, you’ll pass Ellis Island and line up your final photos with the Manhattan skyline behind you.

Photo Tip: Use burst mode as you circle the statue so you can pick the perfect frame with both Lady Liberty and the skyline in the background.
