New York City Sightseeing and Seals Boat Tour

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. Seal sightings are not guaranteed, but they have been a constant inhabitant of Swinburne and Hoffman during winter for the past several years. 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. Throughout the journey, learn insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these precious ecosystems.
