Great way to see the Brooklyn bridge and statue of liberty - A great time to sit and relax after a day of shopping. We enjoyed a charcuterie board with drinks and the best views. 2nd time to do this cruise and loved it both times!

Memorable experience! - Thoroughly enjoyed it! Near sunset is the perfect time of day to experience this excursion. Also, going in late August meant that it wasn’t too hot to sit outside on the deck.

A Perfect NYC Birthday Cruise – Unforgettable Experience! - I booked this cruise as a birthday surprise for my boyfriend and wasn’t totally sure what to expect since it was my first time doing something like this, but it ended up being one of the best decisions ever.
We took the subway to Hudson Piers, checked in easily, and waited to board. Right from the start, the crew — especially Conor and Sean — were warm, fun, and super informative. They really helped set the tone for a relaxed, memorable experience.
The boat itself is a stunning 1950s yacht (only two of them were ever made!) with beautiful wood details and lots of cozy spots to sit or stand while taking in the views. The playlist was amazing — classic tunes from Bob Dylan to Frank Sinatra and it totally matched the vibe of the cruise.
We got right up close to the Statue of Liberty, cruised under the Brooklyn Bridge, and soaked in views of so many iconic NYC landmarks. The weather was perfect, and we sipped drinks, took photos, and just enjoyed being in our own little world for 90 minutes.
Even my boyfriend, who’s lived in New York his whole life, said he’d never seen the city quite like this before and he loved it.
To wrap up the evening, we had dinner nearby at Au Cheval Diner (pro tip: get the burger).
Huge thanks to the Classic Harbor Line crew, Conor and Sean for making the day feel so special. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and peaceful in the middle of the city buzz.
