Why Take a Hot Tub Boat Cruise to View the Freedom Tower?

NYC hot Tub Boat Guests viewing the sights

One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, is the tallest building in the United States. That fact—along with its scale, resilience, and powerful symbolism—make it one of the most significant and iconic sights in all of New York City. 

People typically view the Freedom Tower from the ground or inside its walls. However, there is a more moving way to see this building like never before: aboard a fully private hot tub boat cruise!

The Freedom Tower is striking from any angle. But seeing it from the water offers something land-based views simply can’t: clarity and quiet perspective. 

We’ve listed a few good reasons to take a hot tub boat cruise to see this global symbol of resilience and spirit:

  • A Unique Vantage Point – Seeing One World Trade Center from a bubbling hot tub turns the experience into something truly special. You’ll enjoy panoramic views of the skyline, unobstructed and ever-changing as you cruise along.  
  • Emotional and Powerful Sea the City’s hot tub boat cruises allow you to take in the tower and other fantastic sights in a peaceful, reflective setting. Emotional and powerful—you won’t be forgetting this ride anytime soon.
  • Private and Personal Unlike crowded NYC ferries where you’re confined to someone else’s schedule and limited views, a Freedom Tower cruise caters to small groups, couples, and close friends. You choose the pace—and the company.

Forget the standard NYC ferry ride—this spa-like adventure is designed to give you one of the best times of your life! Blending emotional significance with iconic skyline views, this relaxing, opulent soak offers a new and exciting way to connect with the city.

Here’s what to expect from your Freedom Tower Hot Tub Cruise:

Soak with a Front-Row View

Settle into a comfortably heated, jetted hot tub as you sail directly toward the Manhattan skyline. The Freedom Tower soars in the distance, and you are front-row and center to one of the Big Apple’s most powerful landmarks. 

Fully Private Experience

This New York escape is just for your crowd. Bring your favorite drinks and snacks onboard, including beer, champagne, or hard cider to toast the Freedom Tower’s legacy. Pick a playlist and use the provided Bluetooth speakers to make it feel like your own floating lounge. 

Unmatched Comfort Year-Round

We adjust hot tub temperatures year-round for optimal comfort and enjoyment. Our covered boats and heated tubs make sure you enjoy a cozy cruise even when it rains or the weather turns chilly.

Customizable Options

Want to see the Freedom Tower during the golden hour? Prefer a shorter or longer tour? Need room for a group of up to 20? Your wish is our command with flexible options designed to fit your plans.

What You’ll See Along the Way

Besides the elevated NYC experiences that come with a Freedom Tower Boat Cruise, you get close-up views of the following New York City landmarks and skyline details:

  • One World Trade Center – Get the best views of Freedom Tower as it takes center stage. Relax in the hot tub while your captain shares powerful stories about its history and place in the NYC skyline.
  • Lower Manhattan Skyline – Marvel at the towering silhouettes of the Oculus, 3 WTC, and more. This dramatic skyline view defines luxury sightseeing in NYC, especially when seen from a hot tub on a private cruise. 
  • Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Cruise past Lady Liberty and the gateway for millions of immigrants. Few views match seeing these symbols of freedom and immigration history from the water.
  • Brooklyn Bridge Snap photos of this historic suspension bridge from the most unique angle possible. Its arches and cables are even more awe-worthy from the boat.

Who Is This Cruise Perfect For?

The One World Trade Center Boat Tour offers a fresh and luxurious way to experience the city. Who will find it a must-see? Well, let’s talk about that. 

For starters, it’s a fun option for tourists who want a memorable spin on New York city sightseeing that’s more exclusive than a run-of-the-mill NYC ferry ride. 

Beyond that, the Freedom Tower Cruise is also perfect for couples planning a romantic date or anniversary. It’s also great for groups celebrating birthdays, proposals, or just spending time together. For those interested in the past, it’s a meaningful way to see the Freedom Tower and reflect on its story. 

Even locals looking for an elevated experience will rediscover NYC in a luxurious and unforgettable way. 

Real Guest Experiences

Sea the City’s hot tub boat cruises in New York City have hundreds of overwhelmingly positive reviews online. Here’s what a few reviewers wrote about their time on the water: 

Wonderful Experience

he hot tub boat around Manhattan was one of the most wonderful things I've done. I highly recommend for a special occasion. The water temperature is perfect to hang out in for 90 mins in the cold without it getting too hot to handle. You will be up close to the statue of liberty and right under the Brooklyn Bridge. It's definitely a NYC highlight and I hope to do it again some day!

It Was So Fun!

“I’ve sailed with Sea the City on their Hot Tub boats twice now (both on private tours with both tubs reserved, up to 20 people total), and the staff has been kind, understanding, fun, and easy. The first time was in Spring 2021, and the second time was recently in Spring 2023. They are thorough when it comes to a brief and safety rundown at the beginning of the tour, and for the rest of the evening, are completely on top of service when it comes to making sure the coolers are full of drinks, picking up empties, taking group pictures, etc. On this most recent reservation, I had indicated that my group was celebrating a special event, which was the Eurovision Final happening the following day. The staff actually put “Eurovision 2023” on a rainbow light board and took our picture with it. It was so fun and everyone was so surprise in the best way possible.

Fun Group Activity

As we were leaving the hot tub boat, my friends and I were already talking about when we could make time to go again. This was a fabulous time - we listened to music, had a glass of wine, looked at the sites of the city all while staying warm in the hot tub in this great tub boat experience. I arranged this activity for myself and 4 of my girlfriends just for fun because we don't get to see one another often enough. This was absolutely magical and we took a million photos which all came out so breathtaking with the city all around us and the view of the water. I highly recommend this boat trip. We all loved it.
