Join us aboard the luxury yacht Manhattan II -- our cozy, elegant, 1920s-style yacht -- as we explore the NYC winter wildlife and history of Lower NY harbor, the NYC skyline, and the obscure islands of Hoffman and Swinburne Islands just beyond the Verrazzano Bridge!
Embark on a journey of discovery on this new winter wildlife sightseeing boat cruise aboard our classic yacht, MANHATTAN II, as we navigate the scenic New York Harbor waterways from Chelsea Piers to the lesser known Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. On this captivating 2.75-hour NYC sightseeing cruise we'll take in the winter wildlife of NY Harbor and these amazing islands with rich history that now serve as a seal destination in winter. Seal sightings are not guaranteed on this NYC wildlife boat tour, but they have been a constant inhabitant of Swinburne and Hoffman during winter for the past several years.
On this NYC boat ride, our expert tour guides and renowned Urban Naturalists, Gabriel Willow or Russell Jacobs, will regale you with fascinating tales of these iconic islands and historic waterways. They'll illuminate the stories of the migrating birds who inhabit the harbor this time of year.
Once used as islands for quarantining immigrants with contagious diseases in the 19th century, Swinburne and Hoffman are modern day 'abandoned islands', reclaimed by nature as a breeding ground for birds, and a winter 'haul out' destination for grey seals and harbor seals.
Throughout this NYC eco boat tour, our knowledgeable naturalist-guide will share insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these precious ecosystems. Learn about the ongoing research conducted by organizations such as the NYC Bird Alliance and Parks’ Natural Resources Group, as they strive to protect and nurture the diverse NYC wildlife that call these islands home.
This tour will not operate in foul weather or high wind conditions. Should we have to cancel due to weather limitations you will have the option for a refund or a reschedule.
