ESCAPE THE OFFICE, EMBRACE THE ADVENTURE
Looking to host a corporate event your team will actually talk about? Skip the predictable dinner-and-drinks. At Sea the City, we turn New York Harbor into the ultimate venue for team building, client entertainment, and company outings. Your group rides their own jet skis past the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Manhattan skyline – an unforgettable shared experience just 10 minutes from Manhattan by ferry.
Why Jet Skiing for Your Next Team Outing?
Great teams are built on shared experiences, not slideshows. A Sea the City outing gets everyone out of the office and onto the water together – an exciting, unique activity that breaks the routine, builds camaraderie through shared challenges, and is thrilling yet safe with options for every skill level (no experience required).

However, if you are concerned about the conditions, give us a call and ask.
