Operated by the world-renowned Circle Line, The BEAST is NYC’s #1 jet-powered thrill ride—and now it’s twice as wild with the addition of the brand-new Downtown location at Pier 16. This 30-minute adrenaline-packed adventure rockets through New York Harbor at 40 knots (45 mph), powered by 1,400 BHP, 2ZF 3000 marine gears, and twin Hamilton Jet engines.

Strap in, feel the music, and hang on tight as we blast past NYC’s most iconic landmarks with high-speed turns, splash zones, and nonstop antics from our wild crew. We’ll stop near the Statue of Liberty for a killer photo op—but blink and you might miss it.

Even after watching video's on Tiktok about other people's experience, their vidoes does it no justice. Loads of fun. FYI, all seats are in the splash zone. Already planning on doing it again.
