It's like a roller coaster ride on water. The Beast will take you to the Statue of Liberty and back at breathtaking speed. The Beast is the only jet-powered speedboat experience in New York. Buckle up, hold on to your hats (seriously) and prepare for a 45 mph ride to the Statue of Liberty on the back of this bright green river monster. Your ticket is not time-bound. Please arrive at the meeting point 45 minutes before the tour starts. Boarding is on a first come, first served basis. The tour departs every hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., six days a week (closed on Mondays). In other words: 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m
