Pet-friendly Boat Tour in/around NYC?

April 3, 2012 5:53 PM

Travelling to NYC area this summer with 3 people and small, well-behaved dog. Looking for boat tours that are pet-friendly. Hopefully something that goes around Manhattan, but any waterway in the area would be nice. Any ideas?

I don't know for sure, but my guess is http://nycfriendsofclearwater.org/ would be a good bet. The Circle Line is the main tour that does what you're after, but I'd be surprised if they were pet friendly - http://www.circleline42.com/. Is there some particular reason you need to bring the dog? You'll have far more options if you don't.

Long story, but yes, the dog has to come with.

What kind of boat tour are you looking for? The Staten Island Ferry seems to allow dogs if they are either muzzled or in a carrier.

Staten Island Ferry allows dogs in carriers, is free, and passes by the Statue of Liberty.

There is also this charter ferry that allows pets, but I can't vouch for that one.
