Traveler reviews
When you get caught between the moon & NYC!
If I could give more than five stars, I would. This brunch cruise around Manhattan was not only the highlight of our time in New York City, but one of the most memorable travel experiences I have ever had. From the moment we stepped aboard the beautiful luxury yacht, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was perfect, with classic Yacht Rock playing softly in the background as we set off to circumnavigate Manhattan, passing beneath twenty bridges and taking in breathtaking views around every corner. Every few minutes another iconic New York landmark appeared, and it genuinely felt like seeing the city for the first time all over again. The food was outstanding — quite honestly the best food we enjoyed during our entire three-week trip through the United States. The smoked salmon, capers and cream cheese bagels were delicious, the fresh fruit platter was refreshing, and the pastries, banana bread, croissants and apple tea cake were all beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The chicken and waffles were the perfect brunch dish and every course was thoughtfully prepared. A special thank you to the talented chefs whose attention to detail elevated what could have been a simple brunch into a truly memorable dining experience. Equally impressive was the service. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming, professional and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests had a wonderful experience. The hospitality was flawless from beginning to end. It is rare to encounter a team that delivers such consistently high standards while still making everything feel relaxed and effortless. What struck me most was the incredible quality of the entire experience. The yacht was immaculate, the food exceptional, the service outstanding and the views simply unforgettable. Standing on the bow with the Manhattan skyline surrounding us is a memory I will treasure for years to come. As visitors from Australia, this was our final activity before leaving New York, and it could not have been a more perfect way to conclude our trip. We arrived expecting a nice brunch cruise and left feeling genuinely grateful to everyone involved for creating such a special experience. Thank you to the crew, the chefs and the entire team for delivering excellence in every possible way. This is New York at its absolute best.
This is our second time...
This is our second time going. The staff are always great and the food is consistently excellent. No matter the weather, we’ve done it while it is raining and it was still just as good.
This trip was amazing!!!!
Sooooooo good!!!!! Beautiful accommodations…friendly service! My only concern was that they didn’t announce the sights. They’ve already acknowledged my concern because their customer service is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Do this cruise! It was magical!
