Dinner cruises, sightseeing
& private charters
New York from the water. Five courses, a live band, and the whole skyline turning on around you — for birthdays, first dates, weddings, and nights with no occasion at all.

Close enough that everyone reaches for their phone.

Three vessels, all our own

82 guests, and the staff made the day
We used NYC Water Cruises for our wedding on Oct 13, 2024. I thought the scenery would be a beautiful backdrop for our wedding but little did I know how great the staff would be and how much it would contribute to the day. The guests (82) were raving about the food and the service. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect day for us and our friends and family. Highly recommend.
A magical proposal
Proposing to my girlfriend on the NYC Water Cruise was the best decision I've ever made. The staff helped me organize everything, from choosing the perfect spot on the yacht to playing her favorite song when I went down on one knee. When the city lights sparkled behind us, she said yes!
A family celebration
We took the whole family on the New Year's Eve Cruise, and it was incredible! The kids loved the spacious deck, while my wife and I enjoyed the premium drinks and gourmet food. Watching the fireworks over the Manhattan skyline was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We've already booked for next year!
