New York City Sightseeing and Seals Boat Tour
Overview
Join us for a boat ride aboard one of our classic motor yachts for an exciting cruise to Swinburne and Hoffman Islands apart of NY Harbor's Lower Bay. Take in the winter wildlife of NY Harbor and these amazing islands with rich history that now serve as a seal destination in winter.

Our expert Urban Naturalists Guides will regale you with fascinating tales of these iconic islands and historic waterways and illuminate the stories of the migrating birds who inhabit the harbor this time of year.

Frequently Asked Questions
