| I'm a native New Yorker, however my boyfriend is from the Caribbean island of Trinidad. He has lived here for quite a few years, but hasn't seen a lot of the sights New York has to offer. I thought this would be a nice sightseeing trip without the touristy feeling and I was absolutely correct. It was romantic as well as a great learning experience for the both of us. We felt as if we were on someone's private yacht because the boat is so intimate and there were only about 5 or 6 other couples on board. Even the captain speaks in a soft monotone as he describes our surroundings so as not to be intrusive if you are having a conversation. Both my boyfriend and I definitely recommend this cruise above all others and would go again. |

| I went with a date, and it was just the two of us. Seeing the New York lights at night was wonderful. |

| I surprised my girlfriend on the night before her Birthday with the Luxury Yacht Manhattan City Lights Cruise. It was one of those colder Autumn evenings in the city, what made it even more cozy on board of the yacht. The crew is very friendly, and enthusiastic. I appreciated the fact that they were not eager to entertain us each second of the trip. As a European living in New York, I like to enjoy things by myself, and don't like it when people tell me how and what I should enjoy. So, my girl and I had a great time out on the water.
You get a free drink. Tickets are easy to book online. They depart and get you back on time, and the views are great. Enjoy seeing the bridges to Brooklyn, and Battery Park, and the old Navy Yards. You will not be disappointed! (unless the girl that you bring with you is boring...) |

| Brought my wife (her birthday) and 8 year old daughter to the Manhattan City Lights Cruise. Just finished a matinee and dinner down in theatre district. Sun had just set, lights came up on the skyline. Worried a little about choppy waters from Tropical Storm Noel. Boat breezed through waters, no problem at all. Very quaint boat. Just 10-12 people on board and it was perfect. Views of Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, and Statue of Liberty at night are excellent. Crew is very professional and the experience out on the front of the boat is wonderful. "I'm the King of the World" moment at the very tip in the front. My daughter had an excellent time also. Not too often you get to see the Statue of Liberty within 100 yards all lit up at night from the water. Already told some friends about this trip. Spend the extra $20 to be on this ride versus the bigger boats. Well worth it. |

Fun but not something to write home about....

| We really enjoyed having the boat almost (7 other people) to ourselves. The staff seemed friendly but not much interaction with them. The highlight of the night was driving out to the Statue of Liberty and getting as close as possible to the island and just stalling for a while around the island. While up and close to lady liberty there were very few boats out that night and it seemed like we were the only ones in the harbor, something you rarely feel in NYC! If there had been appetizers/munchies with drinks I think it would have then been well worth the money spent. |

| Our group of 4 did the Sunday night city lights tour. The crew, yacht, and tour were all excellent. I highly recommend this tour and I'll definitely book it again when in NYC. |

| My husband and I were looking for a unique way to engage the kids on a tour of New York. Not being a good waiter-in-line with crowds and ferries, we wanted a cozier, more engaging experience and the City Lights Cruise aboard the Manhattan far exceeded our expectations! The boat is lovely and well-maintained. The captain and her crew were exceedingly accommodating and the historic information provided was interesting to us all, including my 5 and 7 year old children. It just felt like a real adventure vs. a rote experience and with the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as the backdrop, we were all wowed. Plus, an hour and a half was a perfect amount of time for a family with young children. This is a great treat for anyone, whether you're a local or visiting. Highly recommend!!!! |

| My significant other and I ended our great day in Manhattan with the City Lights cruise on Saturday 10/13. The weather was a bit chilly so we opted for the Luxury Yatch with the enclosed glass area rather than the sail boat. Althought the cruise was nice, the city skyline was something to see by night, we expected a bit more out of the occasion. We were given one drink only comp - option of beer, wine or champagne. We expected at least 2 drinks each and available snacks. I read that somewhere on the website that this would be offered. Overall, it was worth the trip but more of a one time experience. I would definitely recommned this cruise. |

| My wife and 8yr old son recently took the night boat and had a great time. The boat is very nice and comfortable. It's not too big but has a nice ride and big windows so you can see everything without braving the elements. If you like the elements, all you have to do is open a window or take a short walk to the bow. The staff was proficient and friendly and I was pleased that they did not gouge me for drinks on the boat. |
