A New York State of Mind - The Moonlight offered my friends and I a truly unique perspective of the beauty of the Big Apple. Sitting topside with the cool fall breeze on my face, drink in hand, I was able to take in the views of Lady Liberty and the vast city skyline. The Captain and crew were friendly, had tons of local knowledge, and their nautical expertise is refreshing to see. Anyone looking for a relaxing and fun day on the water should look no further than Moonlight Charters.

Great weather great day and a great time ! - So It’s been a while since we saw the coast line of New York and how beautiful it is . All of buildings on the coast and how beautiful they looked . So I decided to take my wife for a ride and take advantage of the weather. The admin fee was only 5o bucks total ! The atmosphere was relaxed and all the crew were very nice and friendly!! The ship was clean and comfortable! My wife and I had a great time and saw some fantastic views!!

Best activity on the NYC Harbour - Do yourself a huge favor and run, don’t walk, run before they’re sold out. Best staff, all around accommodating, professional, efficient and timely. Best views of NYC skyline. Hands down best event on the NYC Harbour, boat or otherwise.
