Meet the Vessel
The NY Skyline
Our flagship vessel, the NY Skyline, is a modern two-level sightseeing boat built for panoramic views. With indoor climate-controlled cabins and open-air upper decks, every seat offers an unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty.
Onboard amenities include a full cash bar, snack counter, restrooms, and bilingual narration in English and Spanish. The boat departs daily from Pier 36 in Lower Manhattan.
The Route
What You'll See
Every cruise passes through New York's most breathtaking waterfront landmarks — here are the highlights you'll experience from the water.
Brooklyn Bridge
Sail beneath the gothic arches of this 1883 masterpiece, its suspension cables framing the Lower Manhattan skyline.
One World Trade Center
The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere rises 1,776 feet — a beacon of resilience dominating the downtown skyline.
Empire State Building
An Art Deco icon since 1931, its changing color displays are best viewed from the water at sunset and after dark.
Statue of Liberty
Every cruise passes within 100 feet of Lady Liberty — close enough to see the torch gleaming and the crown's rays in detail.

“The sunset cruise was absolutely magical. Watching the Manhattan skyline light up while sipping a cocktail on the water — there is nothing like it. My husband and I will never forget it.”

“We took the evening cruise and the skyline at night is breathtaking. The DJ kept the energy high, the bar was great, and passing right by the Statue of Liberty illuminated was surreal.”

Outside food and beverages are not permitted on most cruises. All boats have a cash bar and snack counter where you can purchase cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks, and light snacks.
