Sherry_K, May 2023

This experince was FANTASTIC and I would highly recommend. The way the Yacht is set up you still have your own private area. Customer service, excellent! We LOVED it. I will do this again when I visit NYC.

Jacob was great! He took our pictures and truly made our 16 year anniversary celebration super special and a great memory for now and years to come! If there is any recognition award, cash incentive, bonus, etc this worker should receive it!

This was such a wonderful cruise! Weather perfect, Captain and crew were friendly ! If your ever in New York you should look them up

Something cute to do

Krystal_R, May 2023

I went with my boyfriend for his birthday. Cute experience. The complimentary drinks are basic wines and lagers but they do offer a full bar for purchase. Would do it again and would recommend to locals or those traveling.

The Little Cruise Boat That Could!

Julia_C, Apr 2023

Outstanding cruise around lower Manhattan. The Captain and crew couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. The rain and fog put a damper on picture taking but I didn't see anyone let it dampen their mood.

Great!

Anthony_R, Apr 2023

I took my wife for her birthday and we both loved it! Everything was intimate and you got some great shots of the city. Everything was well done. From the great staff, drinks I couldn’t say anything bad. I would recommend this to everyone and would like to do it again sometime down the road.

Fantastic Experience & Great Boat

Laura_L, Apr 2023

Loved the comfort of the boat and the crew was really nice. Only additional thing to add to this trip is a bit of narration or naming points of interests to passengers.

Relaxation and amazing views

Adam_B, Apr 2023

We had the most relaxing time on our sunset cruise. Amazing views, comfortable boat, not crowded, low key, light jazz music in the background, friendly staff, good cocktails and light fare options. So glad we did this. 90 minutes to just relax and unwind. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful Sunset Cruise with Family

Heather_T, Apr 2023

Up close view of the Statue of Liberty, beautiful sunset, skyline of downtown lights and the ride under Brooklyn Bridge were all incredible memories made with my family.

Memorable experience!

Jaclyn_B, Apr 2023

Adorable boat and extremely friendly staff! Loved every minute of it and would do it again! Must do while your in NYC!

Wonderful evening

Erin_D, Apr 2023

Trip was lovely, great boat and great staff. Really nice way to see the skyline and Statue of Liberty. We had two teenagers with us and they also enjoyed themselves. We would do this again.

Perfect night relaxing on Hudson

Fredric_C, Feb 2023

Enjoying my wife’s birthday with my family was a outstanding experience and will definitely return. Whole different experience seeing the sky line from the river crew was on point and very welcoming.

A must do for any trip to NY

Kirsty_F, Feb 2023

Fantastic sunset cruise, great photo opportunities under the Brooklyn bridge, up close to the Statue of Liberty and back along the Hudson to see the city come alive at night. The tables are well spaced, lots of space outside for photos and a bar available for drinks and snacks. A must for any trip to NY!

Great boat ride on a beautiful smaller cruise boat. Everyone has an opportunity to take their pictures.

Kayla_H, Nov 2022

The boat is really nice and comfortable. Don’t leave your drinks unattended, they will fall over! The attendants are very nice and pictures come out great.

NYC sunset cruise

Christina_D, Oct 2022

I loved everything about this trip! from the drink options, to the view, to the hospitality, it was a wonderful evening! We definitely picked the perfect time of 5:15, because we got to see NYC during the day, with a sunset, and at night! There was also not a bad seat on the boat, which i feel like is very rare! would DEFINITELY take this trip again!
