The Experience
What your day looks like
Experience New York like you never have before and leave the noise of city street life behind. Sit back and enjoy the luxurious view of the island from the cozy solarium or the open decks of our gorgeous, 1920s-style yachts! You will enjoy a narrated tour by our captain whilst taking in views of Battery Park, South Street Seaport and the Financial District as well as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Manhattan and Manhattan II offer elegance and comfort wrapped in turn-of-the-century tradition. They are equipped with teak decks and mahogany trim. There are spectacular glassed-in observatories on the back decks are equipped with cushioned seating around conversation-friendly tables. They are heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer, and provides stunning, panoramic views, all within climate-controlled comfort. You will enjoy a complimentary Beer, wine, champagne, soda, juice or water, and a full bar is available aboard the Manhattan and Manhattan II throughout the trip. (One complimentary beverage is included.) It is very rare for our guests to become seasick. While most people do not experience any seasickness on the motor yachts, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. We cannot officially advise you to take any medication, however. Our cruise will end at the same pier from which it departed.

We loved our cruise! The boat is so beautiful, and the staff is so friendly and helpful! They even took our pictures with the Statue of Liberty! We loved having hot chocolate and Christmas cookies to enjoy on our trip. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough!
