Convenient location
We launch from Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City — directly across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan. Minutes after your safety briefing you’ll be on the open water with the skyline ahead, heading straight for the most famous bridge in New York.
Experience New York Harbor like never before, on your own jet ski, with a guide riding alongside.
This isn’t a boat tour where you’re just a passenger. You’re on your own jet ski, carving through the harbor with Manhattan’s skyline as your backdrop.
Get closer to the Statue of Liberty than most people ever will. Hang out right next to Ellis Island. Cruise under the Brooklyn Bridge. These aren’t distant views from a ferry deck — you’re in the water.
First-time visitors who want an unforgettable NYC story. Locals celebrating something special. Adventure seekers tired of the same old tourist traps. Groups looking for the one activity everyone will actually enjoy.
Your friends won’t ask “how was the ferry?” They’ll ask “wait — you drove a jet ski under the Brooklyn Bridge?!” This is the NYC story people remember.
Your guide rides alongside you
Your guide isn't on a distant boat shouting through a megaphone. They're right there on their own jetski, riding alongside your group the entire time.
First time on a jet ski? They'll keep it chill. Experienced rider? They'll let you open it up. Every tour is different because every group is different.
They've done this hundreds of times. They know exactly where to postion you for the perfect Statue of Liberty shot, which side of the Brooklyn Bridge photographs best, and when the lighting is idea.
This isn't a history lecture. It's a New Yorker showing you their city form the water, sharing the stories tourists don't hear, the details guidebooks miss.
“Nothing comes close to jet skiing under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and more. Loved every second — worth every dollar!”

No prior experience is required! In fact, a large percentage of our guests have never ridden a jet ski before. As long as you’re comfortable around the water, you’ll have a blast!

Yes, you can! If you’re 18 or older and feel comfortable riding solo, you’re welcome to take the jet ski by yourself. If you’d prefer to have a passenger, just choose our Tandem package.
