Circle the Statue

Our Story

Discover the heritage and passion behind New York's premier boat tour experience. Born from a love of the harbor and a desire to share Lady Liberty with the world in an intimate, unforgettable way.

A New Way to See Lady Liberty

Our Mission

Circle the Statue was born from a simple idea: everyone deserves to see the Statue of Liberty up close, without the hassle of overcrowded ferries and long lines. We created a personal, intimate boat tour that puts you right where the action is — face to face with one of the world's most iconic monuments.

Departing from the vibrant Jersey City waterfront, our tours offer something the big operators can't: a relaxed, uncrowded experience with personalized service. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong New Yorker, we guarantee you'll see Lady Liberty in a whole new light.
