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.

How the night runs
So you know what you're buying before you buy it.
- 6:30 PM
Boarding opens
Arrive at the pier, check in, and find your table. Come early — the light on the water before departure is worth it.
- 7:00 PM
Cast off
We pull away from the pier and turn toward the harbour as the first course is served.
- Once under way
Dinner service
Five to six courses, served at your table, while the band plays and the city slides past the windows.
- Mid-cruise
Liberty and the bridges
The open deck is the place to be. Liberty first, then the run back under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.
- 10:00 PM
Return to pier
Dessert, a last drink, and a slow approach with the skyline lit behind you.
The practical bits

- Changes and cancellations
- Reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before departure — just call or email. Tickets are non-refundable after purchase unless you add Trip Insurance at checkout, which lets you cancel up to 2 hours before departure for a full refund.
- Dress code
- Upscale casual. Exceptions are made in summer heat — comfort matters too.
- Accessibility
- Depending on water levels, boarding may require a ramp that can exceed 45 degrees. Call us before booking and we'll talk it through.
- Children
- Under 4 typically board free, but call ahead so we can add them to the manifest.

What the evening did for them
The staff made the day
We celebrated our wedding with NYC Water Cruises in October. I expected the scenery to be a beautiful backdrop, but I had no idea how much the staff would add to the day. Our guests raved about the food and service, and the team was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. It was a perfect day for us and our family and friends. 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!
Asking before booking
We'll be delighted to answer any questions you have about the dinner cruise — send us a message.
