Embark on a scenic boat cruise at the most magical time of day – sunset. Feel the wind in your hair and watch the colors of the sunset take over the dusk sky as you cruise on the calm waters around Manhattan, marveling at the majestic NYC skyline and famous landmarks from this unique perspective.

Choose a seat either on the outdoor or indoor decks, then sit back and relax as you enjoy the onboard narration, music and a full cash bar with snacks.

Cruise along the East River and the Hudson River as you take in views of Lower Manhattan including the Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center, South Street Seaport and Battery Park. Pass Ellis Island, where for many years immigrants landed in New York.

Then get within touching distance of "Lady Liberty" where the boat will pause to allow you to take photos of this famous entry point to New York City as the sun sets behind it.

As you return pass Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, the Manhattan Bridge and take in views of the Empire State Building having created unforgettable memories against the backdrop of New York City’s enchanting sunset Skyline.
