Some of these choices might have what you seek:

The boats in Sheepshead Bay are primarily fishing boats. If you wanted to go to the Statue of Liberty from there, it would probably cost a small fortune, since you would need a charter.
I hope you mean "passing" the Statue of Liberty - not "to" it. Liberty Island is run by the National park Service and the only boats that dock there are official ones - the ferry from South Ferry or from NJ. It isn;t open to private boats.
If you want to SEE the statue from the water, come into Manhattan, via the subway and take the Staten Island Ferry over and back. If you want to go TO the SOL, you have to get tickets (in advance online is best), and then go to Battery Park and get on the ferry over to the island. You can also tour Ellis Island as well, another great stop.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I was not clear, Just the water cruise to see the statue from the water. And important to board ship in Brooklyn, since they are disabled people and don't want to travel to NYC
If you click on the link I provided and then click the Brooklyn tab, you will see a list of charter boats that operate from Sheepshead Bay, some of which seem to be available for charters that do not involve fishing.
I'mn ot sure what sort of diabilities these people have - but it may be difficut or impossible for them to board a charter fishing boat - you would have to insepct the boarding options.
If they are disabled, your best option would be a cab or service car into Manhattan to the Staten Island Ferry. The ship is large and would accomodate wheelchairs for example, and on the boat there is little rocking, because the boat is large.
Fishing boats charters are not going to be anywhere near as large, and in the open ocean will be rocky. That whole idea is probably not a great option.
