We did a girls trip to New York. We were there for 5 days and this was our favorite activity aside from the play. The cruise was amazing and the staff were top notch. We did the brunch cruise with unlimited mimosas. Our glasses stayed full the entire time. We each ordered something different and shared. The food was so good!!!

Bought as a 60th birthday treat. Went on lunch cruise. Food was good. Service good. Boat was much more spacious than expected. Music was nice. Drinks were expensive although cocktails were good. Views good - it was windy and cold outside but still got some great pics. Overall well worth the money.

This was one of our favourite activities we did in NY. The boat was bigger than anticipated and the food and service was spot on ! This was the brunch tour and it was a lovely 3 course meal with unlimited mimosas (we all came off the boat quite tipsy). The dj was a great addition too! All the staff were fantastic and Mickey who was our waiter deserves a special mention as he was fab. Thank you. I would definitely recommend this boat trip and if/when I return to NY I will be re-booking.
