Departing from Pier 83 at West 42nd Street and the West Side Highway, you can find the neon green speedboat – The Beast- waiting for you to hop on board it!
On this speedboat, you can roar down the Hudson River on a speedboat ride and see New York like you never have before! At a speed of 45 mph, The Beast is a thrill ride which takes you to a halt within 100 feet of the Statue of Liberty and gives you panoramic views of midtown and lower Manhattan as you speed by! In fact, the Beast makes a quick stop close at this distance for close-up photo opportunities!
Led by comic captains Mad Dog and Wild Thing, the entire ride is accompanied by loud, rocking music and playful narration. You actually feel like you are on a ROLLERCOASTER but on the water! At a thrilling and high speed, you will get adrenaline highs not only will you get drenched, but you will bounce around on the water!
The Beast is truly and aptly known to be a MONSTER on the surface but a ride you are surely not going to forget! Utilising two ZF 3000 marine gears, the ride is also powered by twin Hamilton Jets and has 1400 BHP horsepower! With twists and turns, you will scream your way down the river and feel the cool breeze of the Hudson River dissipating the heat!
