  • No. It is unlawful to bring alcohol aboard.  There are complimentary soft drinks available on your cruise.
May I smoke aboard?

What is the seating like?

  • Seating styles vary across the fleet. On all boats there is outdoor seating available.
    • On the motor boats, indoor seating in covered areas is also available.
    • The Manhattans have large enclosed climate-controlled spaces for year-round comfort. This interior seating is on cushioned benches that wrap around tables. Guests tend to share tables with other guests. It is a very social seating style. Additionally, on some events, seating on the Manhattans is assigned.  In these cases guests are asked if there are any other bookings with whom they would like to be seated.

How many guests will be on the boat?

  • All excursions will be at the State or city mandated capacity.

    Everyone who worked the boat was very friendly. You get some great views of Manhattan, Liberty Island, and Ellis Island, as well as the Brooklyn Bridge. You can relax inside, which is temperature controlled, or go outside to enjoy the weather. You also get a free drink with your ticket, with the option to buy more if you'd like. It's definitely worth the price. Lots of fun and very relaxing.
