The vibe, straight up

Party crowd on deck
01

Loud. On purpose.

This isn't a dinner cruise. Booming soundsystem on the top deck, real DJ, real crowd. Come to dance.

Two-deck party boat
02

Two decks, one boat

Top deck: open-air, DJ, skyline in your face. Lower deck: climate-controlled, seating, quieter conversation.

Cash bar on booze cruise
03

Cash bar onboard

Full bar with beer, wine, seltzers, and cocktails. Bring your card - it's cash bar (buy your own drinks).

Dress the part

Smart casual to going-out. Layers help - the Hudson at 10 PM in June is not the Hudson at 6 PM in June.

Questions we get

How long is a booze cruise?

Our sunset booze cruises run 3-4 hours from boarding to disembark. Boarding starts at 6 PM, and we sail until the city is fully lit up.

Do we sail if it rains?

Yes. The boat has a fully covered indoor deck and heaters. We only cancel for extreme weather (lightning, high wind advisories). If we cancel, you're rebooked or refunded.

Is there food onboard?

Snacks are available for purchase. For private charters we can add full catering packages - contact us.

Can I bring my own drinks?

No outside alcohol. Full cash bar onboard covers everything.

What ID counts?

Valid government-issued photo ID: driver's license, passport, state ID. 21+ only. No exceptions.

Refunds if I can't make it?

Refunds up to 7 days out; after that we can transfer your ticket to another date subject to availability.
