I spent 3 weeks in NYC in July-Aug 2014. One of the things I would highly recommend is a jet ski tour with Jerry. I took a 2.5-3.0 hour jet ski tour circling the entire Manhattan island with him. It was a great experience and I cannot speak highly enough of it. What I really like is that he does not rush you through anything. If you want to cruise around slowly or keep stopping around to take photos (as many as you want) he is more than happy to do so. If you are not comfortable going fast and take even 3.5 hrs to complete he wouldn’t mind at all. This was my first time jet skiing and he helped me get a hang of it very quickly. The entire ride had a mix of all kinds of experiences – jumping through the slightly choppy waters from Staten Island to Liberty island to Manhattan and through to mid town Manhattan; then cruising at high speeds through the relatively calm waters of Hudson along the uptown coast; and then cruising at slightly slower speeds along the narrow stretch of the east river along Queens and the Yankies stadium. Jerry was more than happy to keep clicking away photos on my phone and we got some insane snaps. I had done an extensive research about all the jet ski tour providers in the city and picked Skyline – and boy was I glad!! Most of the other guys don’t easily provide a full circle tour and you spend unnecessary time with them skiing from the east to Manhattan. You can rather spend your time better with Skyline as you start much closer and reach Manhattan quickly. Their jetty is also more easily and quickly accessed than others – just a short ride from the Free Staten Island Ferry terminal. He was also happy to schedule a private tour for me since I had scheduling constraints! Thanks Jerry!
