A ROLLERCOASTER ON THE WATER!
The Ultimate NYC Speedboat Ride β Now Departing from Midtown and Downtown!
Operated by the world-renowned Circle Line, The BEAST is NYCβs #1 jet-powered thrill ride and now itβs twice as wild! With two launch points to choose from β our original Pier 83 Midtown dock or our brand-new Downtown location at Pier 16 β start your high-speed adventure from either end of Manhattan!
This 30-minute adrenaline-packed adventure rockets you along the New York at 40 knots (45 mph) powered by 1400 BHP-horsepower, 2ZF 3000 marine gears, and twin Hamilton Jet engines!
Strap in, feel the music, and hang on tight as we race past NYCβs most iconic landmarks with high-speed turns, splash zones, and antics from our mischievous crew. Youβll stop near the Statue of Liberty for a killer photo op β but donβt blink, or youβll miss it.
