AMAZING EXPERIENCE ABOARD - We truly enjoyed the Sunset Cruise—it was an unforgettable experience!
The yacht is incredibly comfortable, beautifully designed, and even has heaters, which made the ride cozy and relaxing. Inside, everything feels luxurious, elegant, and very well maintained.
The crew was exceptionally kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed.
We tried the cocktails and the Baileys hot chocolate, and both were absolutely delicious.
We also ordered a cheese plate, which we loved!
If you’re looking for a magical way to enjoy New York from the water—we highly recommend this Sunset Yacht Cruise. It’s romantic, relaxing, and perfect for any special moment.

Stellar Service with spectacular views - We booked the sunset sail to celebrate a birthday with a group of friends. The experience was above and beyond our expectations. The crew was welcoming and personable and provided fantastic service and the champagne served was delicious. We arrived to the Statue of Liberty right as the sun was setting and views (and our pictures) turned out great. We continued on under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges before turning around and getting a great view of the lit-up skyline on our return to port.
Don't hesitate - just book it. Great value for your money!

Loved seeing Statue of Liberty from the water - Great tour but we didn’t book a tour with live jazz and that’s what we got (neither of us are jazz fans). It was too loud for such a small space and as much as the band were great we’d never have booked it. Surely you need to tell people this !? Staff really good and very attentive. Great to see the Statue of Liberty from the water.

Worthwhile on a clear day! - Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and we had low clouds and rain which obscured the shoreline and skyline; only the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island were visible. The sound system could use updating, but the crew was very friendly and attentive and the boat not crowded (probably due to weather), so it was a relaxing hour and a half. Too bad the weather shifted on us; tickets are non refundable.
