We love Andrew!

We had SO much fun on the jazz cruise and will never forget our wonderful host, Andrew. He was absolutely delightful - so accommodating and attentive. The boat is beautiful, the jazz was fantastic and it was just an overall amazing evening! We also appreciated that we could still talk while the music was playing.

Excellent ride with close...

Excellent ride with close view of Statue of Liberty sunsets and plenty of phot opportunities. Boat was beautiful and clean with lively bad and great lighting. Only downside was all cocktails are not complimentary just the wines beers and sodas but not a big enough deal for me to remove a star. Service was lovely

Live Jazz, NYC Harbor at Sunset, the Best Cruise

Had a great cruise! Service, drinks, live jazz, and views were all a terrific experience! When we go to NYC again, we will do this cruise again! This was a cool way to see the harbor, no one constantly talking about what to look at, just wonderful jazz music, and the time to enjoy the scenery at sunset!
