Discover New York City from an exhilarating new angle on the back of a jet ski, where sightseeing meets adventure. With New York City Jet Ski, you’re in control—literally “making your own waves” as you navigate the harbor and take in world-famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the striking One World Trade Center. Move at a pace that suits you, pause for photos, and experience the city’s skyline, waterways, and iconic sights from a perspective few get to enjoy. It’s a thrilling, flexible, and unforgettable way to explore New York.
The guide typically keeps the pace balanced—fast enough to feel the thrill of riding a jet ski, but with stops for photos and short breaks so you can take in the scenery. Many guides will also help take pictures of you with the skyline or landmarks in the background, which is a big plus since handling a phone on the water can be tricky.

Easily the most famous statue in the United States (and, potentially, the world), the Statue of Liberty is an icon visited by millions of tourists every year. Opting for a jet ski rather than the more popular ferry ride gives you close-up views and exclusive photo opportunities of Lady Liberty. Her silhouette against New York City’s skyline is a sight not to be missed.
The One World Trade Center—often called the Freedom Tower—is the tallest building in the United States and a powerful symbol of resilience. Located in Lower Manhattan, it stands on the site of the former World Trade Center and offers breathtaking panoramic views from its One World Observatory. Visitors can take in sweeping sights of New York City, the harbor, and beyond, making it a must-visit for both its history and unforgettable skyline experience.
