The boat rocks with a soft, methodical pulse as Manhattan’s skyline slides into view — the hot tub steams under an open sky while the Statue of Liberty watches from her island perch. You step aboard at the Maritime Parc in Jersey City, hand the crew your waiver, and trade the city’s noise for the warm, buoyant hush of a floating spa.

History

New York Harbor was a primary entry point for millions of immigrants at Ellis Island; the waterfront evolved from maritime trade to recreational and residential uses over the 20th century.
