The Beast Speedboat was awesome and definitely worth the money. The guys were very entertaining and funny. I would do it every time I visit.

My teenage daughter really loved this. The girls never stopped laughing. In fact, we all enjoyed the entertainment provided by te whole company. At the same time, they were also very informative.

My boyfriend came visit me from Florida, and we tried the speedboat ride. It was amazing. The music, the captain and the other guy...it was a lot of fun. We loved it.

The beast is the BEST!! This was a half hour well spent. What fun!! The guys running the boat are hilarious and make the trip a 100 percent adrenalin filled awesome ride. They've a wealth of information, too, on the surrounding coastline and even had a water fight with another boat, which they used to own. Everyone enjoyed this ride and I would really recommend it.

My daughter and I enjoyed this cruise. The guys that run the boat were fantastic, and I would highly recommend it. It beats sitting on one of those big tour boats for three hours. The tour was fast, loud, and funny. Keep up the good work.

Enjoyed the ride even though the weather prevented us from getting as close to the Statue of Liberty as we would have liked. Be prepared to get very wet and not just from the waves.

I have to admit, it was fun! I live in Manhattan and had never heard of the Beast. My 16 year old niece was visiting and she read about it online. She loved it! We got a little wet, depends on the winds that day and if you sit by the side you'll get wetter than if you sit closer to the aisle. But I wore clothes that could get wet. Was glad to have sun glasses to keep salt water from getting in my eyes. The guys are fun, crack jokes, play fun music and give you a little bit of sightseeing info. They are also NYC firemen which made me feel safer. Take your camera and maybe take a plastic bag to keep your purse from getting wet. Mine didn't, but just in case. I ordered tickets in advance online. Since you can't pick your time, it wasn't any advantage. You still have to stand in line at the pier to trade your voucher in for the actual timed tickets. Have fun!

Nice to have a great time in Manhattan for not too much money today.

This trip was quite short; only about thirty minutes, but the guys running it are really good fun. Kids would really enjoy this outing. It is really important to get there early, though.
