The experience

The boat leaves with boarding 30 minutes early, so you'll want to arrive with time to spare. Once aboard, you're seated with your party in a fully enclosed, climate-controlled dining room where the brunch buffet and unlimited mimosas (for guests 21 and up) are waiting. The two-hour cruise moves along the Hudson and East Rivers, so the skyline and the three major landmarks (Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty) pass by as you eat and drink. A DJ keeps the energy going, and if you want to step outside, there's a large open-air rooftop lounge.

The cash bar stocks creative cocktails, wine, and beer if you want something beyond mimosas. Seating is guaranteed for your whole party together, which matters on a boat where space is tight. The boat runs in all weather, so dress for the season. Infants under two ride free (though they don't get a meal), and the boat is wheelchair accessible with nearby public transit options.
