Dinner, while the city goes past the window
We cast off as the first course goes out, run south past Liberty, and come back beneath the bridges with the skyline lit the whole way. A live band plays through dinner. Most people end up on the open deck by dessert.

What the evening did for them
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!
