About the Crew

We take your hot tub tour very seriously. We understand that you’ll be putting yourselves in our hands for two hours, and that’s why we only hire captains who have attained the rank of United States Coast Guard Master Captain. This means they’ve passed an exam and also have extensive experience at the helm of a ship. After all, being ranked as a United States Coast Guard Master Captain is the highest license available, so you’ll be getting the best of the best! 

Our Master Captain works in concert with our deckhands to ensure everything goes smoothly for your journey. The deckhands are available to you for anything you may need. For example, did you forget your towel in the changing room? No problem! One of our deckhands will be happy to retrieve it for you. Would you prefer ultimate privacy? Our deckhands can make themselves scarce, so that you can have the most romantic night of your life! 

Another role that our United States Coast Guard Master Captain fills is being a master storyteller. They can bring the history of New York City to life through entertaining tales that make the entire cruise even more worthwhile! Of course, if you’d rather spend uninterrupted time with your date, they’ll hold onto their stories for another day.
