Manhattan is an Island, so nothing is simpler and more fascinating than to move around by Water Taxi and Boats. In recent years, the city's transportation system by water has been considerably expanded, so today, you won't only find the famous cruises such as the historic Circle Line, one of the oldest boat companies in NY founded in 1945, but in addition, you will find several different ferry boats connecting all 5 boroughs and even New Jersey! Let's check them out:
