The boat is comfortable and charming, the host is gracious, the drinks delicious. We took the sunset cruise, and the views are great and its just the right amount of time, leaving me wanting a little more. A must do! I would definitely do a cruise with New York Boat company again.
Great Sunday Afternoon Activity. Seats for all. Just a pleasant cruise to the Bear Mt. Bridge and back. Crew gave nice presentations along the way. Good time was had by all, we recommend it.
This was my second cruise with NYBC, and it was lovely. There's no more beautiful place on Earth than the Hudson River (imho), especially as the sun is going down behind the highlands.
The Captain and Patrick were friendly and helpful. The drinks were great! (sunset cruise) The boat is very comfortable and the views are excellent no matter where you sit. I've previously been on the history cruise and it was packed with fun stories and information.
What a great, affordable, family-friendly activity. Booked just a few hours prior. We had a great time and will definitely recommend to our friends and family. The owners were super friendly as well. Thanks again!
I loved the sunset cruise that I did. I am looking forward to the cruise to West Point and I appreciate that they're very accommodating in case the train is late.
New York Boat Company is like the friend we all want because they own a boat. And not just any boat, but one that's big enough for you and all your friends. One that takes you across and through the Hudson River, which I've appreciated from afar for years but never traversed. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the Evening Star boat is clean and tidy yet gives passengers the sense that it has seen many adventures. Whether you're new to the Hudson River Valley or a long time resident looking to experience this place in a different way, do yourself a favor and book the sunset cruise. There's nothing like the fresh sights, sounds, and smells of being on the water.
We had an awesome sunset cruise with you guys. Very unique experience aboard a former USCG ship. The captain was great and Joe was very informative and made sure we always had fresh drinks. Will definitely be back.
This was my fourth or fifth time taking the 1.5 hour tour to the Bear Mountain Bridge and each one has been a completely enjoyable experience. The crew (most recently Captain Austin and second Captain/deckhand Bob) have mastered the delicate balance of just enough attention without being overwhelming; the narration is perfect-informative, funny, and not constant talking. Bob is constantly circulating around the deck to ensure that everyone's questions are answered and food/beverage needs are met. The boat is always spotless and smiles are everywhere. The trip can't be beat, and the price is exceptionally reasonable! I'll keep coming back for more!
The crew was very polite and helpful. It was very relaxing and enjoyable, they offered snacks and drinks which is a plus for me. Just wished they offered coffee or hot cocoa. Overall it was perfect
Such a nice experience. The boat had modern benches and although they were flat, they were not uncomfortable. Decent variety of drinks, although I wish they offered hot chocolate or coffee under their warm drink options. I also wish they had more snack options, there was only popcorn. Overall a nice tour and the crew was great. Lots of parking near the dock.
Nicely set up boat with new benches and tables, basic menu of drinks and snacks, really short narrative but the views are spectacular during this 1.5 hours cruise.
