A ROLLERCOASTER ON THE WATER!
New Yorkβs only jet-powered speedboat thrill ride!
Operated by the world-renowned Circle Line, The BEAST is a high-speed sightseeing adventure like no other. This 30-minute thrill ride rockets you down the Hudson River at 40 knots (45 mph) powered by 1400 BHP-horsepower, 2ZF 3000 marine gears, and twin Hamilton Jets.
Strap in and blast past NYCβs most iconic landmarks, with music pumping, waves crashing, and surprises from our mischievous crew. Youβll stop near the Statue of Liberty for a killer photo op β but donβt blink, or youβll miss it.
NEW THIS SEASON!
After the thrill, fuel up (or pre-game) at the BEASTβro, right next door at Pier 81.
Open TuesdayβSunday from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, itβs a one-of-a-kind spot to eat, chill, and celebrate your ride.
