Have you ever dreamed of planning a nice romantic dinner with your soul mate on your next trip to New York?
This dining cruise around Manhattan will be for sure one of the best moments you can have when visiting New York City.

What kind of dinner cruise can you expect?

You can go on a catered cruise for:
– a romantic dinner: A table for 2, and the New York’s magic.
– a dinner with friends (or family): and spend a nice moment.
– a dinner for events (like a wedding). The day we took the cruise, there was a big table with around 15 people, the newly weds and their guests.

How’s the Dinner?

I am not going to describe every single dish we had for dinner. Anyway, it was good but not exceptional either.
The main interest of this tour is having a good time while enjoying the fantastic view over Manhattan.
To give you an idea about the dinner:
-The salmon is excellent and plentiful.
-The steak is excellent, with crunchy vegetables and potatoes.
-The chicken: is marinated and tasty.
For dessert, the chocolate cake, and the cheesecake were really good.
Please note that the menu may differ!

How’s the service?

Many people are working on the yacht, they are all very nice. They are courteous, and they don’t make you wait for a long time in between 2 dishes.
Everything is done for you to enjoy the cruise.

How is the evening?

The dinner goes for about 3 hours. The yacht departs from Pier 61 (West Manhattan) and goes all the way up to Williamsburg Bridge before going back to Pier 61.
During the night there are 2 distinctive moments:
-The appetizers and dinner in the first 2 hours.
-Party time.

The DJ

It all starts when the yacht gets close to the Statue of Liberty.
They played good music, with very well-known songs. We had fun dancing. The DJ played Funk music, Michael Jackson, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, also New York, New York by Frank Sinatra… and a lot of contemporary hits.

What’s the best thing to do during this evening on a yacht?

Don’t spend all your night in the restaurant! Go to the deck to discover NY by night, and enjoy the view on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island…
You can take amazing pictures as a souvenir.
