Around Manhattan Brunch Cruise

I took my boyfriend on this brunch cruise for his birthday. We had such a great time that we want to do it again when his family comes to visit from out of town.

I bought 2 tickets for the Around Manhattan Brunch Cruise as a gift to my husband for his 67th birthday. It's a 3 hour trip to Manhattan from our home in Pennsylvania. We got there early so we could explore Chelsea Pier and we were so glad we did. There is so much to see and do there! We got to our pier early and were so pleased that everyone associated with the Cruise, from the lady who took our eTicket to the Captain of that beautiful yacht, was exceptionally pleasant; very friendly and accomodating. The Captain casually pointed out points of interest as we cruised around Manhattan with about 30 other people of all ages. It was a glorious day so we were able to be outside on deck, with the wind whipping through our hair as we sipped our cocktails and enjoyed the delicious food that was so artfully presented. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his cruise (and had something to rave about on the golf course for a whole week after he came home!). We couldn't have been more pleased and would recommend this cruise to any one of any age.

I went on a Sunday Brunch tour all around Manhattan in August 2009. The weather was beautiful, the food was very good and the tour itself was enjoyable to say in the least. It was really neat to see all the different sites. I was almost late for the boat tour due to a bike race that was going on that day so I had contacted the customer service to give them the heads up and they were very accommodating and helpful. Because of the them, I was able to make it on the boat in time before it took off. I would definitely go again.

The crew were pleasant and helpful and the weather was gorgeous. The only complaint I had was the music( definitely not needed) and the sometimes garbled audio of the captain's descriptions of the sights, which were very interesting when we could understand them. I highly recommend this activity.

I'm sure the captain gave a precise description of what we were looking at, but I was too interested in the amazing and luxurious meal

space to stand/sit outdoors, restrooms? variety of brunch items, not alerted to need to pay for 2nd drink until i'd ordered it, but pricing was modest, good presentation about bldgs. seen from water, good history of bridges but not a quick overall description of settling of nyc. my husband, a native of nyc and definitely not interested in tourism, enjoyed and learned from the cruise.

Apart from the weather (which you can't do anything about), the only slight dissapointment was the food. What we had was nice but I somehow imagined something more, ie hot food like pancakes etc. Maybe it's about managing expectations.

We recently visited NY and decided to try the Brunch Cruise on the Hudson. What a great experience! The captain was very informative and friendly and to top it off the food was fantastic. After a couple of rainy days in NY it was very refreshing to have a nice day on the Hudson. We would highly recommend the cruise. My 13 year old son said it was "awesome".

I took the brunch cruise with my girlfriend, and it couldn't have been better. I first thought that it seemed a bit pricey, but it was well-worth every penny. The food was great, the staff were great and the ship was beautiful. We saw other cruise ships circling Manhattan, and they were either large and packed like sardines or in ridiculous looking boats with giant teeth painted on the bow. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.

The boat was smaller than I anticipated (making us feel more waves & wakes than initially expected). The food was very good and so was the service. No before you go: There is no need to bring ID or be 30 minutes early (cuz you will end up carrying extra stuff you don't need and will be waiting on the dock of the bay with hunger pains). Additionally, don't be shy about eating because if you don't grab food quickly, there is a chance that you will be missing out on some tasty vittles. The captain was very entertaining, allowing passengers to sail the yacht and regaled us all with facts and stories relating to the views we saw along the circumnavigation of Manhattan.
