| I took the brunch cruise on my 30th birthday with my parents, grandma, and aunt--who were all visiting from out of town--and we all had an incredible time. The food was delicious, the crew was helpful and fun, and the view was utterly unlike any other experience of the city. I honestly could not recommend this cruise more highly. many thanks! |

| At first I thought it was too expensive, but it was worth every dollar that I spent.
I did not think I would have had so much fun, but it was very informative.
The food was excellent, the staff was great. Even my 14 month old had fun.
I am planning on doing it again before the summer is over.
I would recommend it to any age group, it's one of those event where you can take your baby and your grand parents at the same time. |

| whether you're a tourist or a local, like myself, it was well worth every penny! i surprised my bf for his bday and it was like nothing we've ever done! he would have never guessed either!
the food was delicious! i went crazy on the belgium waffles so i was too stuffed to eat any of the kishe and other goodies. one thing i would suggest is that you sit closer to the tables so that you dont have to wait in line... not that the lines were ever too long, but for impatient ppl like myself, who waited until there were no lines then got no lox :(
for the money, i was rather impressed. the yacht felt like someone's private boat, it was so homey and comfy! and it literally sailed around the whole island! being on the water for those few hrs were very stress relieving to say the least~
i'll def be on another one of these very soon!
oo another tip.. get there early so you get first dibs on your seat inside the yacht! |

| It was a very enjoyable trip. The boat / and group was not too big nor too small, just right for a very cozy and private cruise. The sightseeing was very pleasurable and the guide was knowledgeable. The food was really good: compliments to the chef. But the group has to be alerted that there are more foods to come aside from the bread spread when they come in. They filled themselves with bread and coffee thinking that, that was it. Our group was thinking that it was better if it was a buffet style where everything wa served but probably the space would not allow for that.
The staff was very considerate and polite. |

| My husband and I had a wonderful cruise around Manhattan. The Captain and crew were professional and a lot of fun. They served beautifully and were very informative.
The food was plentiful and delicious. Just as soon as were left the dock, the food started to come out. No one rushed the people. There was enough for everyone.
I can't wait to go again. We have told so many of our friends and we will probably go back with a group.
Thanks for a wonderful day. |

| I loved the brunch cruise we booked for my birthday and last day in New York! Despite the grey skies, I thoroughly enjoyed it - naturally, the sun came out as we were heading back to the pier.
The Manhattan is a beautiful wooden boat with wide windows (also overhead) and enclosed (it would have been fine with rain), and you can go out onto the prow for better views (remember to pack a windbreaker!), it's a lot nicer than those massive tourist ships we saw around Liberty island.
The crew was great, the running commentary was interesting and unobtrusive (funny, to the point, with long pauses - no-one wants to listen to anything for almost three hours) and brunch was delicious and abundant (the crew kept bringing more and more platters out!).
It's a great way to get an overall idea of Manhattan, and to see lots of areas one doesn't normally visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
But a few people on board looked a bit bored - I would advise you not to book this unless you're fascinated by water, bridges and skylines to the point that the 2 and three quarter hours will just fly by... which is exactly my case. Also, I think the cruise was not fully booked, and there was plenty of space to move about but only just about enough for everyone to sit down, but I think with a full house it's probably a bit cramped.
Altogether, if you really like being surrounded by water and would like to give yourself a treat, I'd recommend this! |
