It’s a relaxing chill boat ride around south of manhattan looking over beautiful landmarks along the Hudson. A beautiful date night escape into a tranquil night of live smooth Jazz music taking you to a place of cozy comfort with a couple of drinks and treats. Highly recommend checking this experience.
Great music. Great crew. So fun. Seeing the statue of Liberty by night was incredible! The lights of the city very special. Thanks!
Exceptional experience. The staff is extremely welcoming and kind, and the service is great. The entertainment was very enjoyable & impressive. Cocktails on board are not as expensive as anticipated ($16 each). Definitely recommend for couples or tourists.

There isn’t anywhere to wait so do not arrive too early. Staff are all very friendly. Great choice of cocktails. Disappointed that the band took a break. No music was played during that time.
I was not able to go on the cruise because my husband was sick. TripAdvisor took care of everything in a timely manner. I was able to get a refund! Very trustworthy company!
This jazz cruise was incredible!! The musicians were extremely talented, the drinks were delicious, the service was top notch, and the views😍😲🤯🤩 chefs kiss! DO NOT miss this experience, it is a total holiday must in NYC!
It was really wonderful. An absolute must for all Christmas fans. Music and cookies create the right atmosphere. The view of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty is really impressive. Definitely recommended.
Wonderful time. Cruise at sunset. Very good music and excellent musicians. Bartender care. A breathtaking view of Manhattan then Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty!!! I recommend 100%.
Our family loved the cruise! The jazz band was great. The cruise staff members were excellent. We very much enjoyed the nighttime views of New York (it also helped that we had a clear night with no rain or snow). The boat was decorated nicely for the holidays, which added to the atmosphere. What a fun time! Overall, we highly recommend this activity.

Oh we enjoyed this river trip so much! As a family with 2 young adult kids it’s not always easy to find something that everyone is impressed with, but we all loved this. The jazz band was great and really created a lovely atmosphere, crew were so friendly and helpful and of course the amazing views of NYC by night are unbeatable. You can go outside to take pics but it is freezing on the water in December, however the windows slide open so you can open them up for a moment to take a few snaps and then close again to keep warm. The boat itself was lovely, all varnished wood which looked so pretty decorated for Christmas. Shame the covid panels were still up separating the table into 2 halves but it wasn’t busy on our trip so we were able to spread out. Toilets on board if you need them but none at the Pier after 8pm (although we nipped into the bowling alley a couple of piers down to use the restrooms)
