Real Memories

“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! We’ll cherish this moment forever, and we’re even considering hosting our wedding reception on the cruise."
"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. Everyone, from the staff to the entertainers, made us feel so welcome. We’ve already booked for next year!"
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
