Wished the weather was a bit warmer - had a small get together as a send off to a friend who enlisted. It's a little bit pricey considering it's only 90 min. long with 1 drink included, but overall, we were happy to avoid Booze Cruises with the cast of the Jersey shore in attendance. Would totally recommend to others.

I have been already to new york and done all the major tourist sight seeing so this year I thought to do something different. Unfortunately was very poorly experience as it was 1.5 hrs going around manhattan on a boat. the captain didnt say a single word at all when we were passing the major attractions. the only good thing was the glass of wine. defn i dont recommended to anyone as it is really a waste of money.

It was a really great intimate atmosphere on the boat. There have been about 10 other passengers with us. The view was exciting and I recommend this trip to all guest, tourists, as well NYC citizen!

I had planned a late night boat ride with another company and found out last minute that they do not run past a certain date, and luckily found your company. Very glad to see the boat still doing tours during the chilly nights. The crew was great- very attentive and welcoming. I will recommend to family and friends.

I expected more, but still enjoyed myself

I found this website browsing the internet & i decided to do this to celebrate my birthday. They way it was described, you would think its a huge yacht with a bunch of people on it but thats not what it is at all. Its a regular sized yacht, kinda similar to a sail boat but much bigger. Inside its one big room with different sections where you can sit on a couch, kind of. Its very cozy and romantic and the cruise is not narrated. I have no issues with the service, that i give an A+ . It would be better if food was served, but i was perfectly fine. I prefer to do this in the summer instead of november but thats just me. Its alright if you go with your friends, but much better with that special somebody. Overall i was satisfied, but i wish it was the cruise was longer. That 1.5 hour goes by very quickly and you'll enjoy it more if you spend it outside of the boat.

This was a very nice cruise in the early evening. It was a small group, the seating was comfortable and you could easily look out the boat at the lights of New York. The captain and crew were especially friendly and made sure everyone had everything they needed, The only drawback for my husband was that there is no commentary on what we were cruising past but we did know this ahead of time from other reviewers.

It was my mom's 80th birthday this past Saturday, and she's pretty frail & uses a walker, so we called ahead and spoke with the lovely Dorothy (who mans the ticket booth), and she informed the crew of our situation.... When we got there, the captain himself welcomed us (Yum, what a cutie. Hey, Cap'n--You single? Like smart, friendly, natural blond writers? Look me up! ;) and helped us all down to the boat before the other passengers were allowed to board. Needless to say, Mom was pleased as punch. The boat itself was gorgeous, and not crowded-feeling at all--even "full," it only holds about 50, and everybody sits on comfy cushions in a space that looks like the sitting room of an elegant mansion... And of course the trip was amazing--just long enough (1 1/2 hours) for Mom to not get bored, and short enough to make us all want to come back--maybe for the brunch or dinner cruises? [Note: the best place to sit is probably on the cushions in the very back of the boat, so you can see out both sides (huge glass windows) without craning your neck--oh, well, we'll know next time....] Btw, we got the fruit plate, which was fine, and took the edge off our before-dinner hunger, but you might want to bring your own food, too, which they encourage you to do.... All in all, the entire crew was just fabulous (especially that cutie captain, of course). We could not possibly have been more pleased!

A romantic way to see the skyline

This cruise is well organized, the staff were very friendly, the other guests were delightful and the boat itself was quite nice. It's not narrated so if you're looking for a tour that tells you what every building is this isn't the cruise for you, but as a quiet way to enjoy the company of the people you're with while seeing the sparking lights I definitely recommend this cruise.
