We went on the Bateaux last night for our anniversary & we were treated like royalty. The staff is absolutely amazing! Such friendly people. And the cruise ship is gorgeous. The cruise route was breathtaking. We saw the beautiful NYC skyline all lit up, went under the Brooklyn Bridge & got extremely close to the Statue of Liberty. I would definitely recommend going on this particular cruise ship. You will be glad you did. And if any of the staff ever reads this…..THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A TRULY MAGICAL EVENING!!

We used them to book our visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The process was easy and our ticket, though timed, allowed us to go at an earlier time.👍. Security was thorough. easy and quick. Boarding was surprisingly quick given the amount of people. I’m not sure of the time schedules but all three times we queued we were able to board on the docked boat. The ride was very smooth and the views from the deck, though crowded, were great! All of the photos and video were shot onboard.

We are local couple and we just wanted to relive together to our dating memories. We had dinner curies before but this time we wanted to be more luxurious. There is couple website to book the curies, but the cheapest website didn't have the option to book the table. We wanted to have a window seat, so we paid extra for it. The trickle was the day because if you book too far or too soon the price were different. I ended up paid extra and expensive for the trip because I want everything to be smooth. The Service was good and I'm appreciative. We had crab & corn Chowder. then they had a paused for the second course. For the second course, my husband had Atlantic striped Bass and I has Osso Bucco. it was ok. For the third course. my husband had Basque 'Spanish Style' Cheesecake and I have Tres Leches that was not delicious at all. The experiences were good, they seem to focus on tourist customer, lol. But I'm okay. The night with my Husband is the most important think so as long as he is happy, I'm fine.

This was an absolutely amazing experience for a 1st time visit to NYC. My husband and I enjoyed every moment of the boat tour. Dinner was delicious with multiple entree options to choose from and the service was spot on. Live music and breathtaking views completed the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Booked a Sunset Cruise with this company and I mean it's really pretty self-explanatory and easy to get to and check in. Booked a sunset schooner Cruise, on the Adirondack which took us around the Bay to the Statue of Liberty. Was a great cruise with a stunning sunset over the Statue of Liberty. Great views and the crew was really helpful and friendly. Highly suggest booking one.

First time ever doing something like this! A special occasion was the reason to try it and it was stealer, amazing, incredible, truly unforgettable feelings and views from time of departure to back to the dock. The food and customer service was A1 and amazing! We loved ever minute. If you want to enjoy a view on the water; this is the place to do it. We’ve had multiple good outings on multiple observation decks in NYC and rooftops but this one was different and worth every penny! We can not wait to do it all over again. Booked through Tiqets application; easy and fast!

My partner took me on an evening dinner cruise to celebrate my birthday and what a fantastic experience it was. The service was second to none, the food was very good and a live band that try accommodate song requests. The views as you sail down the Hudson are stunning especially on the return journey at night and not to mention they take you up close to the statue of liberty. The amount of photo opportunities on this trip is countless! I really can't recommend it enough especially if your celebrating a special occasion. You generally get an hour between courses so your free to move around and enjoy the atmosphere, go out to the bow or stern of the ship or maybe enjoy a dance as the fantastic band perform and maybe your lucky enough they will perform on of your requests

Not cheap by any means, but absolutely phenomenal. Took this cruise for my girlfriend's birthday (taking advantage of the Romantic Dinner for 2 option and their Cyber Monday discount) and couldn't be more satisfied. The staff provided roses, a bottle of Jean-Louis Champagne, and 2 keepsake champagne flutes. Despite the cold and the rain, the experience was amazing. It provided breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and landmarks. Our waiter Joshua was friendly and attentive, the live band was a cool mix of holiday and modern tunes, and the food was exceptional. I had the duck pastrami, short rib, and butter cake, all 3 of which I highly recommend. Came hungry, left very happy. I will definitely return here one day for another trip.

Reason for the 5 🌟, the Service, The Food, and the Drinks was exceptional. The table setting was nice, it look a nice restaurant but the boat itself was nothing to be impress about, the boat entrance does. Its different from the rest of the cruise around that pier. Went for a Sunday Brunch and didn't like the fact that the dress code policy was not really enforced. The food is a buffet style some of the things were a bit cold but was very flavorful which was a plus plus. The have a variety of cold and hot things something for every diet I guess. The service was really good and that makes the difference for me. It's only 2hrs wish was more as we did had a great time. Love the drinks although some were a little strong, but they were good.

Invited out for dinner on the Hudson, and the night couldn’t have been more perfect, with views and weather. The staff and entertainment did an amazing job. The tickets were very expensive but didn’t include the steak dinner, so we did have to pay extra if we wanted the steak, otherwise most of the menu items were all inclusive.

City Cruises is a fantastic way to see New York from the water. The views of the skyline, bridges, and the Statue of Liberty are unforgettable, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. Cruises can get crowded, and food and drinks are a bit pricey, but the experience of being out on the water makes it worth it. It’s perfect for sightseeing, photos, and enjoying the city from a new perspective.

The experience was great and we got several really nice pictures. The food was good but it wasn’t very hot. Just kind of warm. The band did their best and left us laughing with their song choices. It was great way to spend our anniversary. Just keep in mind that you are paying for the pictures and sightseeing not the best food, although the food was good quality. Just need to be warm.

Came here for a special celebration for our friends. Had the 3 course meal and got a few bottle of wines. My appetizer for the home made ravioli was good and my spanish basque cheesecake was good as well, though my seafood squid ink pasta was way overcooked, sadden. The servers were attentive and were friendly. The 3 hour experience on the boat, they were making U turns at the mid to lower manhattan, the view was nice at night. The live music tried their best, but audio system needs an upgrade. I would recommend if you are dating someone at the beginning, it’s kind of cute and the cool breeze and view on the deck is what you’re paying for.

Very disappointed that the boat did not leave the port and turned into “stationary dining” due to the weather. I received no prior information about this change—neither by email, text, nor on their website—even though I had contacted customer service beforehand and asked several questions, and the situation has been like this over two weeks. The boat itself was fine, the staff were wonderful, and the brunch was decent with free-flowing sparkling wine. However, I purchased a cruise, not a stationary dining experience overlooking the closed Chelsea Piers shutters. To their credit, they offered me the chance to try again another time for the full experience, and I will update my review after that. In the meantime, please be cautious if you are hoping to see NYC landmarks and have a romantic cruise—this may not be possible for the coming days or weeks if weather conditions continue.

My girlfriend and I were waiting for so long outside the pier to board the ship for the Valentine’s Day cruise. The instructions were not clear on how to get there, said the boarding time would be 7pm and departure at 7:30pm. We didnt board the ship until 8:15pm and it was the middle of February in New York. Once we got on it was terrible from there. There was only one bar area, long line for drinks. Bartenders didn’t know how to make drinks or took days to make them. It took them 20 minutes for them to find a bottle opener for my wine. We got the wrong dessert and food took extremely long to get; while other people that paid extra failed to receive food. The only good part about the experience was the people and the DJ. music was great and seeing the people dance with the most of the crap night was pleasing to see. overall 2/10 experience. I’ll never do this again. Waste of money. You cannot convince me otherwise. I honestly am thinking about demanding a refund for what I paid for.

Did the night cruise with buffet and dj music. I really tried to have a good time but it not good from beginning to end. Someone had thier wedding reception onboard, complete with full wedding attire and cake cutting. Between them and the group of 40 somethings celebrating thier bday with tiaras and sashes, I felt like I was crashing someone else's private event. Food was good in theory, but poorly executed (cold, dry, or not available). I think the host and our server could tell i was disappointed. But they did nothing to improve the situation or empathize until it was time to pay and tip. Then it was complimentary cake (that I couldn't eat due to allergy I had already shared) and stem roses for me and my mom (a strange throw for sure). It was all awkward and the wrong attention. Music was good, but not a good mix at all. I think the first 6 plays were in Spanish. It was a while before they played anything my mom had ever even heard. The event parties controlled the room. I paid extra for window table for my size party (two), but was sat at a set of 3 2-tops for 6, while the other parties of two had 2-tops. They should have removed a table to give us a proper setting. I including the value of seeing the sights from the ship, I would pay maybe $70/person for the tour for the classic of food, service, and atmosphere. Unfortunately, i paid about 3x that.
