The experience

Once the small classic yacht pulls away, the Hudson River opens up with Manhattan's west side running along one flank. The skyline rises ahead and to the side, and the Financial District comes into view as the boat turns toward the water. Your professional captain and crew handle the navigation, so you can give your full attention to the city.

The boat rounds into New York Harbor, where Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty drift past. The boat cruises alongside the statue, which makes a great spot for photos, with expansive views of Manhattan behind it. One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, rises above Lower Manhattan as you pass.

Stay on the open bow for unobstructed views, or step into the spacious glass-enclosed observation cabin to watch from inside. A complimentary beverage comes with the trip, so you can sip something while the harbor slides by.
