#PeachyAhoy #InauguralReview #Beast #PeachyandtheCity We Highly Recommend the Beast and the Beauty #StatueofLiberty
You absolutely need to ride the Beast if you enjoy fun in your life at all!
Actions speak louder than words, and Peachy got a few words in before and after.
Peachy Deegan absolutely loved it and they even put her on the GREEN boat which of course has got to be the best (her favorite color.)
Watch all 7 videos from the @ManhattanPeachy You Tube!
Watching the videos is absolutely the best way to understand this experience.
Here are a few things to know before you go:
Will I get wet? Yes! The BEAST is a high-speed thrill ride and you will likely get splashed. That's part of the fun!
What should I wear? We recommend comfortable clothes you don't mind getting wet. A bathing suit underneath is a great idea. Bring a light change of clothes if you'd like.
Can I sit in the front? Seating is first come, first served, so get there early to snag your spot!
Is my camera safe? We recommend securing any electronics in a waterproof bag or case, as there is a good chance of water spray.
What should I bring? Just yourself and a sense of adventure! Sunscreen is always a good idea, and we suggest leaving valuables safely stored.

Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Beast!
Grok says:
The Beast is NYC’s ultimate high-speed thrill boat ride, operated by the legendary Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises.It’s a 30-minute jet-powered adventure on a custom-built 70-foot speedboat that hits up to 45 mph, with sharp turns, big splashes, pounding music, and epic views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. Think of it as a rollercoaster on the water — loud, bouncy, splashy, and a ton of fun.
Key Details
Duration: 30 minutes
Speed: Up to 45 mph (jet-powered)
Route: High-speed run down the Hudson River toward the Statue of Liberty (quick photo stop), with skyline views.
Midtown departure (Pier 83): Focuses on the west side/Hudson.
Downtown departure (Pier 16 at South Street Seaport): Goes under the Brooklyn Bridge for a different perspective.
Boat: Iconic green (or sometimes black) speedboat with a fierce shark-tooth design, big engines, and open-air seating with seatbelts/handrails
Downtown (Pier 16, Seaport): 11 AM – 7 PM, hourly departures. Closed Tuesdays.The season runs roughly May through mid-October. Check the official site for any weather-related cancellations (no sailings in rain/thunderstorms).
What to Expect
You will get wet — especially in the splash zones. Wear clothes that can handle water (or bring a change).
Loud music + energetic crew/captains (fun and entertaining).
Fast turns and bounces — secure loose items (phones, hats, sunglasses) or use a waterproof pouch.
Great photo opportunities, including a brief stop near the Statue of Liberty.
After your ride (especially from Midtown), grab food/drinks/merch at the BEAST’ro at Pier 81.
Is It Worth It?
Yes — it’s one of the most unique and thrilling things you can do in NYC. Reviewers consistently rate it 4.6/5 and call it a highlight for thrill-seekers, families (with older kids), and anyone wanting something more exciting than a regular sightseeing cruise. It’s short, high-energy, and gives you fantastic (if fast-moving) views.
Not ideal for: People with severe motion sickness, fear of speed/water, or very young kids under the height limit.
Pro tip: Arrive 15–30 minutes early for boarding. Book in advance during peak summer months
