Great experience - Took my in-laws for their anniversary. Our original cruise was canceled because of bad weather but we were immediately offered a replacement. The Moonlight team was very good about reaching out about the change and even offered us an upgrade. Ended up on the Sunset cruise, and it was delightful. Travis and Anthony were excellent!

Awesome crew & experience!! So fun - Anthony & the crew were awesome! Our original cruise was canceled and luckily Anthony was there with a cruise about to go out, and got us right on! They were all nice, helpful, and we had so much fun! Lots of room on board to spread out and have your own VIP experience. 10/10 recommend!

First trip to NYC - We had purchased tickets from another cruise line, turned out to be shady, but Anthony and the Captain Keith accommodated our tickets from the other company. We had a fantastic tour and the weather was fabulous. The tour took us within approximately 2-3 hundred years of the Statue of Liberty, not to mention we also saw Ellis Island and the Governor’s Island on our tour. Fascinating scenery and a great staff made this tour great. Thank you Anthony!

Sunset with NYC skyline - Me and my friends decided to try something different rather than just bar hopping in NYC. We decided to try out the 75min cruise as a pregame to our city trip and we were not disappointed. The crew was friendly and professional. Great way to see the city, especially for the deal we got on our tickets. You get to see the statue up close and she’s huge! I will be back here for sure. A++

Sunset cruise - My boyfriend and I did the sunset tour on the Moonlight and had a great time! The weather was beautiful and the vibe was just right. Seeing the Statue of Liberty from the water was an amazing experience. The captain and staff were professional and friendly. We will be doing another tour before the end of the year!

Awesome - Amazing classic boat, great crew. I love the top deck for enjoying the views. I’d love to fish this boat 200 miles from shore! It used to be a battlewagon in the northeast! Glad it found home in NY harbor
