The Experience
What your day looks like
Every Saturday & Sunday step aboard the teak decks of Manhattan or Manhattan II, our 1920s style luxury yachts, for a leisurely weekend brunch. On this 2.75-hour cruise, our route typically includes a complete circumnavigate the entire island of Manhattan. Our "cruise" is packed with delicious New York State foods and fresh bakery goods from NYC purveyors: a plentiful buffet spread of fresh-baked bagels and pastries, fresh fruit, spring mix salad, stuffed quiche, smoked salmon display, and more. Sit back & enjoy the gorgeous view of the island from the climate-controlled and enclosed back-deck observatory of these yachts. One complimentary beverage (including soda, juice, coffee, tea, beer, wine, champagne, Bloody Mary, or Mimosa) is included, and additional beverages can be purchased at our onboard bar. On the round-Manhattan (circumnavigation) cruise, the yacht travels north from Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River past the Empire State Building and the tree-lined Upper West Side, under the George Washington Bridge, past the New Jersey Palisades on the west side embankment, and then east onto the Harlem River. The yacht then passes by the United Nations, and under the Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridge. She makes a wide pass through the New York City Harbor to grab a spectacular view of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Financial District, and the complete NYC skyline before returning to Chelsea Piers. Please note route may vary depending on tides. A full circumnavigation is not guaranteed.

This is the second time I have booked this excursion. And it was just as great this second time around. The staff is great! The food is an awesome variety of different types. The yacht is beautiful and just the perfect size for a small group of people to enjoy.

We absolutely loved this brunch cruise. The staff was friendly and helpful and attentive. The food was fine but the best part was the views of Manhattan. It was so relaxing and beautiful. The boat was very nice and overall we loved this trip.

This tour was fantastic! The food was not only great, but there was more than enough for everyone, and the courses were brought out over time so that you never had to stand in line or feel like you might miss something while you were outside on the deck of the boat soaking up the views. The crew was also super friendly, the boat was 'full' but not at all crowded, and the sun was shining, which all combined to make it a wonderful day. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We had an amazing time! The crew were all fantastic and the food was yummy (and plenty of it!). The boat was super warm which made for a great atmosphere whilst cruising around Manhattan on a cold day.
