Overview

The BEAST Speedboat Ride - one of the most thrilling things you can do in NYC that is totally legal. This custom-built, 70-foot speedboat flies towards the Statue of Liberty at around 45 mph, with lots of twists, turns and splashy action. It's an exciting tour of NYC, to say the least. Wet suit recommended but not required, just ask our BEAST Handlers about “The Pool”…they’ll be happy to help you find a good seat! Get ready to get wet and see NYC at high-speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

(9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Circle Line: NYC Beast Speedboat Ride?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
