Sunset in NY

It is an experience that is worth it from various perspectives. The boat is very beautiful, with wood accents, large windows, excellent service, and atmosphere. The tour is short, around 45 minutes, but the sunset views make it all worth it. The crew helps you by taking your photos and the time you spend with the Statue of Liberty is a great spot to admire it from a great angle. The service is courteous and very friendly.

Beautiful Views, Great Cocktails and Worth Doing Again

We had a great experience and would absolutely do this again. The staff both on and off the boat were friendly and helpful, the cocktails were actually really good, and the views were fantastic. You get beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline and some incredible up-close views of the Statue of Liberty. The boat itself is beautiful. The enclosed interior has large windows so you can enjoy the views comfortably, but definitely head outside to the front bow too. That was one of our favorite spots for photos and taking everything in. It was stormy, raining and extremely windy when we arrived, but the cruise still went out since the boat is enclosed. Once the rain cleared, the weather ended up being quite nice and we even caught some beautiful sunset views. Getting there through the storm was honestly the hardest part, but it made for a great story afterward. One important tip: when you arrive at Chelsea Piers, have your Uber or Lyft drive into the piers. There is a drop-off area and parking inside. Don’t let them drop you across the street like ours did, especially if it’s pouring rain lol. The location is also great for making an evening out of it. Afterward, we walked over to the High Line and Hudson Yards, which was a really nice way to continue the night. Great staff, great drinks, beautiful boat and some amazing NYC views. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again.

Excellent late evening tour with music.

Nice wooden boat with bar with 70+ seats. On our tour only about 10 people were on board but the musicians and crew gave us an excellent service. The later evening views on NYC are amazing froù the water.
