Did you know that you can ride on a Fireboat in NYC (and it’s totally FREE!) 🚢💦🚢 All aboard the historic John J. Harvey Fireboat, where visitors of all ages can see history a float! The FREE Public tours are back! The tours last 1 1/2 hours and include jaw dropping view of the New York Harbor. On board you can explore freely & walk the decks, and learn about the boat’s history from passionate staff. Calling all captans! Children are allowed to help steer the boat and learn how to navigate water traffic. The biggest thrill - Visitors will see Harvey pump water and do a spray presentation which happens directly in front of the Statue of Liberty (which is epic!). HISTORY: 📕Named for FDNY pilot of the same name, the John J. Harvey Fireboat was launched in Brooklyn in 1931. It was the largest, fastest fire fighting machine of the time, capable of pumping 18,000 gallons per minute (the equivalent of 20 fire trucks!). Harvey protected NY Harbor for over 6 decades. Decommissioned in 1994, it was saved from the scrap yard by volunteers who restored the boat & made it an operational museum & education center. The boat was recalled to service on Sept 11 where it pumped water for over 80 hours. WHERE: 📍Departs Pier 66, next to the Frying Pan. West 26th Street, NYC WHEN: ⏰Upcoming sails: Jun 18 10-11:30, 12-1:30; Jun 24 10-11:30, 12-1:30; Jul 15 9:30am-11. Jul 30 5-6:30, 7-8:30pm. TICKETS: 🎟️Free! Registration opens 2 wks prior to the sail date & books quickly. Requires a $20 deposit per person, which is refunded on board. The boat is non-profit and kept afloat by donations which are happily accepted. Book here: www.fireboat.org GOOD TO KNOW: 📕For all ages! Life jackets provided. Children under 13 are required to wear life jacket. There is a small giftshop on board, and yes there is a bathroom. The boat becomes VERY wet during the spray presentation (which is super fun), but there are spots to avoid it if wanted. Dress appropriately! #fireboat #johnjharveyfireboat #freeinnyc #freenyc #nyctour #thingstodoinnyc #nycfree #nyckids #citykids

The Fireboat tour was easily one of the coolest things we’ve ever done in NYC. The volunteers were incredibly nice and knowledgeable. The tour was very kid-friendly and had a place to store strollers and large bags. Kids wore life vests and got to go ALL OVER the boat! My son (4) even got to try a hand at steering! The 1.5 hour tour was free, but we donated reservation cost (it can be refunded or donated) plus some and it was worth every cent. I can’t say enough good things about the John J. Harvey Fireboat!

This was probably one of the most awesome nyc experince. My son loves everything firefighter related so we knew he would love it. I never expected i would enjoy just as much. The staff is amazing and passionate. They are super welcoming and love to share their love and appreciation for the ship with you. You are also allowed to wander almost anywhere on the ship other than engine room. They allowed my son to drive the boat and even adjust the water cannons to salute the statue of liberty. Finally we had the chance to be part of an honour to the fallen firefighter that the ship is named after with the crew. All in all an...

Had an amazing cruise with them on Saturday June 28th (2025). The crew was absolutely wonderful, the ship had plenty of room for everyone and we were allowed in most areas of the ship. They gave good information about everything going on, including a floating 'parade' of jet skis. They turned on the deck guns for us twice, one was near a charity event, the second was next to the Statue of Liberty. As a former volunteer firefighter, it was like a homecoming. I wish I could give...
