The BEAST Speedboat Ride - one of the most thrilling things you can do in NYC that is totally legal. This custom-built, 70-foot speedboat flies towards the Statue of Liberty at around 45 mph, with lots of twists, turns and splashy action. It's an exciting tour of NYC, to say the least. Wet suit recommended but not required, just ask our BEAST Handlers about 'The Pool' and they’ll be happy to help you find a good seat!
Children must be 40"/100cm tall to enjoy the BEAST Speedboat and must be able to sit in their own seat without assistance. Due to the fast, bumpy, and extreme nature of the BEAST ride, people with heart conditions, back injuries or pregnant women are not allowed on board.

My five year old and I had a great time! He still talks about the ride. I highly recommend this! If you want to get very wet, sit in the back of the boat!
