All aboard!
These die-hard New Yorkers have spent decades doing what most would find unthinkable — showing tourists the sights of the Big Apple.
This year, Circle Line Cruises celebrates 80 years of sailing around Manhattan. Many of the workers have been boarding the boats for nearly that long — and they wouldn’t trade their jobs for anything.
“The city is just electric. It’s just exciting,” Captain Kenneth Corcoran recently told The Post about cruising through his career. “And you feel that energy from the passengers that come aboard, too. It doesn’t get boring at all.”
It’s not a tourist trap: it’s a family business.
Corcoran — aka Captain Kenny — as well as Senior Deckhand Richard “Richie” Redmond, Captain Joe Volini (Captain Joe), Tour Guide Chris Mason and Senior Port Captain Mike Duffy (Captain Duffy) have all grown up on the boats.
