10 Best NYC Booze Cruises And Boat Parties For The Summer

Take a trip on one of NYC's famous rivers, all while enjoying some cocktails, music, and a magical view!

Corey Fuller

Is there a better way to spend a summer afternoon than cruising around NYC waters with some boozy drinks? We think not! It’s time to grab your crew and hit the open waters for a day (or night!) of fun. We gathered up some of our favorite NYC booze cruises that are perfect for sipping on tasty cocktails, dancing the night away, or even just grabbing some food.

Check out our picks below!

1. Dance the Wave Sunset Yacht Party

NYC is full of spots to catch a gorgeous sunset –like from a boat on this sunset booze cruise! For only $15 (one of the cheapest NYC booze cruises), you can snag a ticket to the “Dance the Wave” sunset party, which allows you to ride around the East River while sipping on delicious cocktails. Plus, DJs will be spinning the latest hits for you to dance to, all while taking in the breathtaking views of Manhattan. Don’t forget the star of the show too, the sunset, which can be watched from the top floor of a luxurious yacht.

2. Hip-Hop and R&B Sunset Party Boat Ride

Statue of Liberty and tourist ship ferry in New York City, NY, USA

Is there any better combination than the sunset, a 3-deck yacht, and live DJs, spinning a mix of hip-hop, R&B, reggae, afrobeats, amapiano, and more?! Yeah, we didn’t think so. Hop aboard and enjoy a delicious buffet-style meal, breathtaking views, and the chance to dance the night away on the water!

Fulfill your love for Latin music and exotic cocktails at this Latin Music Boat Party, taking off from either Pier 40. By purchasing a ticket, you gain entry into one of “the hottest parties on the water with views of The Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and more.” Dance the night away to reggaeton, top 40, Latin-Brazilian beats, house, rock and Latino hits all night long. Tickets are GA, but you can upgrade to VIP with express entry, or even “VIP Champagne Dinner” which comes with a buffet-style meal, and a glass of champagne.

4. Art Boat

Art Boat NYC docked in the water, one of the more low-key NYC booze cruises

For one of the more relaxed NYC booze cruises, consider Art Boat, which is a floating art gallery and museum. Step into this immersive art and drink experience and prepare to be awed. Along with the stunning street art that makes up every inch of the boat’s interior walls, there are works from over 30+ NYC artists on display inside the boat. This can make for the perfect photo opp! Plus, a booze cruise wouldn’t be complete without drinks, so be sure to grab a beer, wine, or one of their signature cocktails so you can get the full experience!

5. Project 91 Events

Between hosting pop-up gigs, pool parties, and rooftop parties, they even specialize in NYC booze cruises too! Their next EDM cruise is “Win & Woo Golden Age Set” coming up on August 5. If you like EDM and want to party with like-minded young people, this is the booze cruise for you!

6. Skyline Cruises

Boat sailing on the water on Skyline Cruises NYC, one of the more popular NYC booze cruises

For more private events, Skyline Cruises offers some of the best top-class dinner cruises, yacht charters, and party boat cruises in the city. They’ve operated for over 25 years and have mastered the art of hosting NYC cruises. Rather than our previous picks that are already organized, Skyline Cruises operates on a booking basis, where you’ll have to inquire about a particular event. Whether you’re looking for a wedding cruise, corporate cruise, or looking to throw your own private party booze cruise, we suggest going through this company. Plus, their variety of piers that they sail out from makes the cruises accessible to all!

7. La Barca Cantina

Although La Barca Cantina isn’t technically a cruise, this floating Mexican restaurant serves some of the best cocktails and most authentic Mexican street food around. Located on Pier 81, this spot is perfect for grabbing a bite and enjoying some waterfront views. We’re personally a huge fan of their Bucket List Golden Margarita and Tequila Bandera, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the drink menu. If you’re really looking for some nightlife, be sure to stick around for “La Barca After Darka” on Sunday nights which is their 21+ nighttime fiesta, complete with music, snacks, views, and overall great vibes!

8. City Cruises

Arguably one of the biggest cruise providers in NYC is City Cruises, who specialize in dinner, lunch, cocktail, holiday cruises, and so many more. City Cruises truly has a booze cruise for any occasion, but our favorite has to be the Bateaux cruises. These are luxurious experiences on Hornblower cruise boats that include food, drinks, and panoramic views of the NYC skyline.

Hornblower New York Cruise: To Infinity and Beyond

hornblower booze cruise nyc

On a recent bright and breezy evening, we made our way through Hudson River Park’s flurry of activity to the calm end of Pier 40. All was calmer still on board the luxurious Hornblower Infinity, which was preparing to (literally) sail off into the New York sunset.

With three decks, four bars, and five dance floors, every bit of this 210-foot number is sleek, from the funky-fresh blue mosaic bar tops (made from repurposed Skyy Vodka bottles) to the motion-sensor, waterfall faucets in the restrooms. At the tippy-top, a sun deck lends unbeatable views—of both the river and a pair of elegant wind turbines that help power the yacht. We soaked up a bit of sunshine out on the open bow, watching Manhattan stretch out before us as the vessel cruised out into the Hudson.

Hornblower Infinity

Jazz standards made up the dinner soundtrack, but the first few strains of an old familiar classic were all it took to get everyone out on the bow for a well-timed approach to sunset over Liberty Island. With nearly six years under my belt, I now consider myself a fairly seasoned New Yorker, and I’ve seen Lady Liberty countless times—from land, sea, and train. But that night, with the pink swirls surrounding her, a refreshing breeze blowing off the river, and Sinatra crooning, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere,” I’d bet not even the most jaded New Yorker on the ship was immune to that thrilling shiver of awe.

Hornblower views

A longtime California cruiser, Hornblower recently introduced a fleet of gorgeous yachts to the Hudson River. The Infinity offers brunch cruises ($57.50 per person) most Sundays and dinner ($80-85) and cocktail ($40-65) cruises most Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (visit hornblower.com for complete schedules and cruise descriptions). Hornblower is also home to the greenest boat in the New York harbor, the Hornblower Hybrid, which is available for private events.

Directions: Pier 40 is located at 353 West Street. Take the 1 train to Houston Street. You can also take the M8 or M21 buses.

Alive After Five Happy Hour Cruise

11 best dinner cruises in NYC for spectacular views of the Big Apple

All aboard! These elegant skyline dinner cruises in NYC turn yachts and steamboats into floating restaurants.

Photograph: Courtesy Hornblower

There can’t be many better ways to enjoy dinner with a view than to hop aboard a dinner cruise in NYC. And you know what? That’s why we’ve rounded up the best of the dinner cruise bunch in New York to make that experience even easier. The city sparkles the brightest in the summer (it’s still here, right?) so it’s time to take advantage of the many floating restaurants that sail up and down our two rivers. Rooftop bars  and  beaches  are musts, but a dinner cruise is something special to do with your loved ones. Even the best restaurants in NYC can’t compare to the experience of eating out on the water, and most of these dinner cruises offer prix-fixe menus or buffet meals on enormous three-level ships, sailing taverns and ritzy yachts. Whichever you choose, the ambience just can’t be beaten. Bon voyage – and bon appetit, too!

Best dinner cruises in NYC

1.  new york dinner cruise.

New York Dinner Cruise

Patrons flock to Hornblower’s climate-controlled sun deck for the decadent three-course meal and artisan cocktails. With entrée options like honey sesame chicken, oven-roasted flounder and braised beef short ribs, we can’t blame them. It’s hard to not want to get up and dance as you cruise past iconic New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge to complimentary live jazz.

Where is it? 111, 11th Avenue, New York.    Budget range? A pricy one, but well spent for an evening cruise through New York's harbour accompanied by some keys.   Time Out Tip: There aren't many seats on the top deck, so it's worth getting there a little earlier to skip the queue. 

2.  Alive After Five

Alive After Five

Gather your clocked-out coworkers and friends and board the Alive After Five cruise, which makes the most of happy hour—it actually lasts  two hours —along the Hudson River in City Cruises’ Sensation yacht. You’ll have two climate-controlled decks to choose from, plus a covered roof deck, multiple dance floors if and a DJ to get the party moving. This isn't just a cocktail cruise, there's pasta, Tex-Mex and other food options depending on the admission level you choose.

Where is it? The yacht departs from Pier 15 at 78 South st.  Budget range? Live it up on this classic yatcht without needing to break the bank.   Time Out Tip: Drinks aboard this vessel are a little dearer than usual (even for New York), so you might have to sweet talk the bartender a little.

3.  New York Dinner Cruise

New York Dinner Cruise

Cruise both the Hudson and East Rivers on this two-and-a-half-hour venture set to music from a quality pianist playing classic jazz, blues and Broadway hits. While aboard you'll be served a lavish three-course dinner as you marvel at Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower and the Empire State Building. You'll set a course from Pier 61 and be able to dance and eat the night away with some of the best views of the city going.

Where is it?  Board at Pier 61 Chelsea Piers, West 23rd St . Budget range? Unobstructed panoramic views of New York's most iconic landmarks for less than 100 bucks. Steal.  Time Out Tip: Think smart casual when it comes to the vibe of this cruise ship - the perfect excuse to grab the buds and set sail. Just be sure to book together to avoid a seating mishap. 

4.  Bateaux New York Dinner Cruises

Bateaux New York Dinner Cruises

Departing from Chelsea Piers, Bateaux offers frazzled New Yorkers a relaxing three-hour, three-course getaway cruise along the Hudson. Pair a romantic view of the Manhattan skyline from a glass-enclosed deck with a veritable feast: Entrées include dishes like miso-glazed cod with oyster mushrooms and sugar snap peas and jumbo lump crab cakes with corn succotash. Sip on cocktails, wine and beer from a fully loaded cash bar while live jazz musicians provide the soundtrack for a twinkly evening aboard this dinner cruise.

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 61 Chelsea Piers. Budget range?   A pretty decent price to see this dazzling city lit up as you float along it, especially when you cash in on the unlimited mimosa brunchtime special. Time Out Tip:   There's a semi-formal dress code for this floating shindig, so skip the sandals and bring a tie. 

5.  Gourmet Dinner Cruise

Gourmet Dinner Cruise

This 3-hour cruise down the Hudson River combines delicious food with dazzling sights. Sail past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while sipping on premium drinks and snacking on a decadent  charcuterie board packed with cheese, meat delicacies, nuts, jam and olives. Once you‘ve admired the view and the plush boat interior, which features  rare wood finishes and collectables, it’s time to sit down to dinner and tuck into gourmet salads and special desserts, while you’re serenaded by a live jazz band. 

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 76 Hudson River Park. Budget range?   A good price for top-notch food, views and live music.  Time Out Tip:   Gratuities aren’t included, so make sure you bring cash. 

6.  Luxury VIP Cruise

Luxury VIP Cruise

Waterfront dining is elevated to a whole new level of luxury on this three-hour dinner cruise with refined decor, beautiful views of  Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge at night and an evening of live music performances. Among all this, guests will also get the chance to sit down to a carefully curated six-course dinner prepared by accomplished chefs and sip on fine wines and premium spirits.

Where is it?   Head to   Pier 76 Hudson River Park. Budget range?   At the higher end of the scale.  Time Out Tip:   The boat will only wait 10 minutes for latecomers, so get there on time. 

7.  Skyline Cruises

Skyline Cruises

Spend four hours sailing the NYC harbor, gazing out over landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building. In the height of comfort, no less, as the decks are climate controlled. There's also a DJ onboard, a dancefloor and an American buffet offering three courses, from short ribs and grilled bruschetta chicken to lemon sole stuffed with crabmeat–stuffed lemon and pasta. It's worth knowing that Skyline caters for brunch and lunch too.

Where is it? Board at World's Fair Marina. Budget range? A spot aboard this stellar cruise is a little pricier, but who could resist twirling around a rooftop dancefloor? Time Out Tip: Planning on popping the question? Skyline can customize your booking to make it a night to remember.   

8.  North River Lobster Company

  • Hell's Kitchen

North River Lobster Company

Seriously. What could beat tucking into a buttery lobster roll while enjoying peaking sunsets over the Hudson? If this sounds like your vibe, then get ready to kick back at this floating three-deck lobster shack, spanning 9,000 square feet between the outdoor top deck and bi-level interior dining space and lounge. Set off on a two-hour cruise headed to the Statue of Liberty, while enjoying a menu featuring a raw bar and fresh New England seafood like Maine lobster, fish tacos and clam chowder. Pair your meal with red and white wine selections, bottled beers and summery signature cocktails served by the glass or pitcher.

Where is it? Over at Pier 81. Budget range? A cheap and cheerful option ft cold buckets of beer  Time Out Tip:  Happy hour is 4-7 pm (Monday - Wednesday), so if you want to keep em' coming, head to the boat before then. 

9.  La Barca

La Barca

Not into lobster? Head next door to get your hands on the banging street tacos aboard this one-of-a-kind three-level floating Mexican restaurant made for good times. Situated on a luxury yacht, La Barca boasts a large outdoor deck area, and two temperature-controlled indoor decks, accompanied by three bars that serve a selection of agave-based spirits, tequila and more. The boat takes several cruise trips a day, meaning you and the gang can enjoy swaying to a mix of Latin pop, salsa and dance hits — taking in the city's skyline as you float along the Hudson River. 

Where is it? La fiesta begins at Pier 81 .  Budget range? An affordable dining experience for those who like to party.  Time Out Tip: After Darka on Sunday night is where the real fun is  -  Free tequila and mezcal tastings and a live DJ guaranteed to make you 'get off your ass' and onto the dancefloor. 

10.  World Yacht

World Yacht

Okay, we're heading back into lobster territory to tell you about this fun New England spin on a Manhattan cruise. Select the Rollin' Down the River package and you'll be in seafood heaven aboard this original Lobster Boat that sets sail from Pier 81, offering fantastic views of Manhattan's Skyline  –  iconic spots like Hudson Yards, One World Observatory and SOL  – as  you bite into one of Connecticut's famous Lobster rolls. Wash it down with a signature cocktail or frozen drink of your choice. The cruise lasts approximately two hours and sets sail at 7 pm. 

Where is it? Meet by Pier 81.  Budget range? A decently-prized casual cruise. Time Out Tip:  Want to catch the Sunset? Set off at 5 pm for an hour-long cruise for views of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Whatever floats your boat.
