sightseeing boat

Floating tour platform

A sightseeing boat is a vessel that carries tourists on scenic routes, typically through harbors, along coastlines, or on rivers.

The boat moves slowly enough for passengers to view landmarks, wildlife, or city skylines: We took a sightseeing boat around the Statue of Liberty.

Most offer narrated tours and open-air decks.
