This is not your typical boat tour through the harbor. The Shark is a heart-pounding, 30-minute speedboat ride through the famed New York Harbor that captures the excitement and energy of the city as it screams out of South Street Seaport's Pier 16 leaving a shower of waves in its wake. And it's more than just the thrill of wind and water in your hair -- it's a total tour and a show, racing past many famous landmarks including the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, and featuring thumping music as well.

* Additional fees apply.

This was awesome! We had a great time. Do not get in this ride if you have back problems because it turns very fast and you will feel it by the time you come out of it. The staff was amazingly knowledgeable and entertaining. A must see & do for anyone wanting a truly unique NY experience!

Really nice way to see various parts of NY and NJ. Got to take some nice pictures of the skylines and the Statue of Liberty. Ticket is flexible so you can go when you like. If you go in the afternoon, there are great Happy Hour specials at the bars on the port and nearby shopping.

The trip is truly 30 min. Sit towards the front/center seats if you don't want to get wet. The further back you go the higher the chance to get wet.

Great for the whole family. I normally get sea sick but I didn't due to the fast speed of the boat. We stopped by the World Financial Center, Statue of Liberty and the bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburh)so people could take photos.

Great trip and would do again!

This is a great ride. We got soaking wet but lots of fun. I took my family on this and we all could not stop laughing at each other as the water was hitting our faces and the expressions we were making.
