Captain Mike is MAGIC!!

Apr 2023 • Friends

This boat ride around Manhattan with Captain Mike was the best way to see the city and all its beauty. Captain Mike was lovely, polite, kind, committed to providing us a 5-star ride!! We saw everything we wanted and more…..We captured great photos and left the boat saying that was the BEST! He shared trivia about the sights; where Sully landed the plane in the Hudson River, the forts and of course the Queen of the Sea, Lady Liberty!! I would highly recommend this boat ride with Captain Mike, you will throughly enjoy it!!

Best boat tour in NYC

Aug 2018 • Friends

The captain was friendly and gave a great tour of the New York skyline! Close up views of the financial district, Statue of Liberty and famous bridges! We drank wine while we watched the sunset over the city.

Great tour!

Aug 2019

I booked NYCbySea for my husband’s 50th birthday as a surprise and I’m so glad I did. What a brilliant way to spend an hour! The boat was spotless and captain Mike was a great host, explained all the history of the area and took photos for us on each stop. Fantastic views and we got right up close to the Statue of Liberty. Thank you for a great trip Mike!

We decided to book the 2 hour private tour with 4 adults. This was a wonderful experience and a great way to see New York City. Our captain, Mike, was and excellent guide, very friendly and informative. He took us to all of the main sights and stopped the boat several times to allow us to take some wonderful and very unique photographs. We all agreed that this was a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend to others.

Fun ride with uncle Will

We thoroughly enjoyed our one hour tour of lower Manhattan, BMW and Statue of Liberty. Will was such a fantastic host , stopping often to allow us to take pictures and offered to take pictures of us as a family. Very nice private family cruise.

We were lucky to avoid most of the storm that was going past Manhattan Downtown.

We just happened to fall upon this tour with Mike Lombardo, owner operator of NYCbySEA, and we are so happy we did. We found Mike through Trip Advisor and he promptly got back to us and we were able to book a tour within a few hours. When we boarded Mike's boat, NYCbySEA, he was gracious and his boat was immaculately clean and comfortable. Mike toured us throughout the harbor with historical facts and up close views of all the landmarks you would want to see, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Battery Park and the Brooklyn Bridge to name a few. It was terrific to see NYC from the water and what a highlight to our trip in NYC.. Only to be outdone when we received a beautiful video of our tour the very next morning!, what an incredible day we now have chronicled in a video choreographed to music. Book Now! You will not be disappointed with tour on the NYVbySEA and host, Mike Lombardo.

Highlight of our trip!

Jun 2016 • Friends

The ride with Mike (NYCbySea) was definitely the highlight of our trip to New York. We couldn't believe we were getting this private tour around Manhattan-- going under the Brooklyn Bridge and right up to the Statue of Liberty. It was so much fun. Mike was friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed-- taking pictures of our family for us and sharing his enthusiasm for this amazing city!
