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!
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
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!

3. Latin Music Boat Party
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
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
Taking over NYC by storm is Project 91 Events, an independent events company focused on electronic dance music around the city. 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!
Learn more about their events here .
6. Skyline 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.
You can check out their full lineup of cruises here .
9. Rocks Off Concert Cruises
Looking for a bit of entertainment while you cruise? Rocks Off Concert Cruises is an all-in-one concert/cruise experience that takes the term “booze cruise” to the next level. Hosting over 200+ live shows, theme nights, parties, and events on boats from April to October, Rocks Off hosts anything from live rock bands to pop party dance nights. Cruises leave from the Skyport Marina 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.
Check out the full event listings here to plan which night you want to dance!
10. NYC Ferry
Okay so hear us out…what sounds more fun than a little BYOB booze cruise around the NYC harbors? Hop on the NYC ferry for only $4 and enjoy some drinks while the cool breeze hits your face! Be sure to grab a spot on the top deck so you can take in all the breathtaking views of the city! Plus, did we mention there’s an on-cabin bar that you can purchase alcoholic drinks from?! It’s the perfect day trip idea!

The best boat parties and booze cruises in NYC
Take your summer festivities to sea with a booze cruise or boat party in NYC.
Photograph: City Cruises
This summer, the heat is on and the best way to cool down is to get out on the water. You athletic types can try kayaking NYC’s rivers , and landlubbers can stick to the city’s prominent waterfront restaurants and boat bars , but if you have any hint of seafaring fun in you, a boat party in NYC is one of the best things to do in the summer . Open waters, sea breezes and stunning views of Manhattan are all on tap when you embark on a booze cruise in NYC. Oh and did we mention full bars, great food, and live music?
Take your summer celebrations to the next level and set sail with these boat parties. There’s something for everyone, whether it’s a cantina-themed boat, a lobster-centric excursion, a fine dining cruise or a leisurely happy hour float. You’re more than welcome to rock the boat on a rock n roll cruise, and cocktails are tastier when sipped on a yacht. Check out these NYC boat parties for a totally nautical summer.
Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.
Boat parties in NYC
1. north river lobster company.
North River Lobster Company , New York City’s beloved floating seafood restaurant since 2014, offers four daily sailings at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. Afternoon cruises are 1 hour and the 7pm cruise is a two-hour route to the Statue of Liberty and back—how beautiful! On the menu: Maine Lobster Rolls, seafood platters, burgers, and ready-to-share appetizers. New menu items this year include tuna tartare, clam dip and chips, The Skagen shrimp roll, and sweet lobster clawsicles in four different flavors (mango, piña colada, strawberry and lime). The best deal on board may be the $17 glass of rosé and 3 oyster special, or you can go all out with the epic 28-inch lobster roll (dubbed the world’s largest lobster roll) for $140, to feed a group.
2. La Barca Cantina
La Barca Cantina, the only Mexican restaurant on a boat in NYC, serves a summer street food-inspired menu that’ll get the party started for you and your friends. Based at Pier 81, next to its sister-restaurant North River Lobster Company, La Barca spans three levels with an expansive outdoor top deck with a bar and table seating, a bi-level interior space with two bars, table seating and booth-like tables—perfect for large groups. Even better, it takes short cruises multiple times per day, five days a week, offering up sweeping views of the NYC skyline. (It's a must to reserve a table for cocktails at sunset.)
3. Alive After Five Happy Hour Cruise
You didn’t forget all about Happy Hour, did you? It’s basically your dang right after making it through your day job. 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 desks to choose from, plus a covered roof deck, and multiple dance floors if that’s your jam. And if you still have sea legs for social life after all that social distancing, the cruise has a DJ to get the party moving.
4. Rocks Off Concert Cruises
If you’re looking for yacht rock, look away: the savvy organizers of this floating concert snare hard rock bands like Murphy’s Law, Badfish, and Electric Six that draw die hard fans for serious—and often seriously sweaty—rock sessions. They know the ropes when it comes to pulling off a bash in a boat, so make sure you’re ready for plenty of percussion and less calls for mutiny than encores.
5. Bateaux New York Dining Cruises
Is it really a party if you’re sitting down? Yes—it’s called a dinner party . On the fancier side (semi-formal dress is encouraged), this dinner cruise looks particularly swell inside the European-inspired Bateaux New York, a glass-roofed boat that soaks in Manhattan’s lit skyline after sunset while navigating the East and Hudson Rivers. The experience takes it up a notch with live music—a two-piece acoustic band led by a female vocalist—and takes dinner to the next level with seafood towers, filet mignon, and lobster tails.
6. Classic Cocktails with a Twist
Head to Chelsea Piers and say cheers with an afternoon cocktail party aboard a 1920’s inspired yacht, an intimate little party boat that rounds out a 1.75 hour journey with modern riffs on old-school cocktails, like a Sake Gimlet or a Rosemary Rickey. The charter, Sail NYC, runs a tight ship—and we mean that literally, considering the boat’s smaller size—that’ll get you tipsy in no time. Yes, the focus is technically on the booze, but also on the views seen from the yacht’s large windows as you ease past classic sites like the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Ellis Island.
7. Evening Wine and Jazz Cruise
Feeling snazzy? There’s just something about live jazz that brings pinky-up vibes, yet not too stuck up that you can’t pack your own picnic to bring on board. This Manhattan by Sail excursion takes place on the Shearwater Classic Schooner, a restored 1929 sailing ship, 82 feet long, with an original Rangoon teak deck and mahogany interiors. This year, you’ll get three glasses of wine plus an extra of good vibes: it partners with Keyed UP, a program by Jazz Generation that helps fund jazz performances across NYC, thus giving local jazz musicians—plus jazz in general—a boost.
8. Narwhal Yacht Charters
A party is what you make of it, especially when you make it your own . For a little more privacy, groups of up to six can rent their own excursion with Narwhal Yacht Charters—it’s on the pricier end, but the seasoned charter is worth their salt, having just celebrated its 10th season on NYC’s waters.The captain provides the necessities (bottled water, sodas, ice, napkins, that sorta stuff) but the rest is up to you. Pick up food from your favorite restaurant, bring all of your favorite booze, and set sail with your besties.

The 5 best nyc dinner cruises for food & views.
These dinner cruises provide some of the best views of Manhattan.
The Best NYC Dinner Cruises
Courtesy of La Barca Cantina
When you're strolling the streets of Manhattan, it can be difficult to grasp the magnitude of the city, with its skyscrapers and densely packed landmarks. The solution? A boat ride. A breezy sail in New York Harbor can feature everything from an elegant dinner to a live jazz band to tacos and tequila. Read on to discover the top-rated New York City dinner cruise options as determined by travel expert opinion and recent reviews.
City Cruises New York Bateaux Premier Dinner Cruise
Price: From $144 Duration: 3 hours Standout perk: This all-glass boat delivers panoramic skyline views.
Climbing aboard the Bateaux feels like stepping into a greenhouse, with its glass-enclosed structure and water views in every direction. There are no bad seats on this boat, but as an upgrade you can reserve a window table for the best views of the Hudson River, the East River and the New York Harbor. This cruise is a match for anyone seeking elegance: The tables are covered in crisp white cloths, wine and cocktails are served in sparkling glasses, and a three-course a la carte dinner is served at a relaxed pace (no buffet here).
The Bateaux cruise is an experience to get dressed up for, where the dress code is semi-formal and dinner is accompanied by live music. The sunset can provide the perfect backdrop for pictures, and don't forget to snap a shot of the Statue of Liberty . Children younger than 6 are not permitted on this cruise, so expect a polished, for-adults atmosphere complete with creative cocktails and dancing under the stars. The Bateaux has rightfully earned a reputation for its fresh food; this three-course, plated menu includes several tempting a la carte options from a ravioli starter with crispy pancetta to osso bucco with cauliflower polenta.
Check prices & availability on:
City Cruises New York Signature Dinner Cruise
Price: From $109 Duration: 2.5 hours Standout perk: A live DJ gives this dinner cruise an extra dose of atmosphere.
Looking for a casual night of dining and dancing with the addition of a skyline backdrop? This dinner cruise offers just that. Set sail from Chelsea Piers in a climate-controlled boat along the Hudson and East rivers, admiring New York City landmarks like the Empire State Building . For dinner, indulge in a chef-prepared buffet with a wide range of options from Greek salad to oven-roasted salmon with miso to Caribbean jerk braised pork. If you're bringing a sweet tooth on board, be sure to check out the ample dessert station.
After snapping some pictures on the open-air deck, return to the cabin for cocktails from the cash bar, interactive games and upbeat music from the onboard DJ.
Those traveling with young kids will be pleased to know that infants younger than 3 cruise free – so feel free to bring your little ones along to enjoy the experience with you.
La Barca Cantina
Price: Varies Duration: 2 hours Standout perk: You'll find an extensive tequila and mezcal list on board to accompany the Mexican fare.
One criticism of New York dinner cruises is that they don't offer good value for money, but the "taco boat" challenges that critique with ceviche, tacos, churros, cocktails and skyline views for an affordable price. Climb aboard a yacht at Pier 81 to experience a youthful, modern interpretation of a dinner cruise – think: low lighting, couches for lounging and three bars, complete with Latin pop, salsa and dance music playing in the background. Raise a glass while the yacht sails south on the Hudson River to check out world-famous Manhattan skyline views.
La Barca Cantina also offers a bottomless brunch cruise with a DJ, as well as special events.

Classic Harbor Line NYC Evening Jazz Cruise
Courtesy of Classic Harbor Line
Price: From $108 Duration: 1.5 hours Standout perk: A jazz trio typically featuring a sax, keyboard and drums plays live on board.
Listen to jazz standards aboard a 1920s-style yacht with this fun sightseeing cruise departing from Pier 62 in Chelsea Piers. Choose between kicking back in the climate-controlled cabin or on the open-air deck throughout this evening cruise, which includes views of Manhattan landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Live music is played outside on the deck or inside the salon, depending on the season (and the boat, Manhattan or Manhattan II).
While this cruise doesn't offer dinner, one complimentary alcoholic beverage is included, and a cash bar offers additional drinks and snacks. Listen to music by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and more as you sail past the twinkling Manhattan skyline. Those traveling in a group should keep in mind: Tickets are slightly discounted for groups of 4 to 16.
Circle Line New York City Harbor Lights Cruise
Courtesy of Circle Line
Price: From $54 Duration: 2 hours Standout perk: This no-fuss, excellent-value cruise option has drinks and snacks available for purchase on board.
When you're craving panoramic views rather than a three-course meal, choose the Circle Line's Harbor Lights cruise departing from Pier 83. This sightseeing sailing delivers an up-close experience of the Manhattan skyline lights coming to life, while cruising past landmarks including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Chrysler Building . A live guide provides narration and historical context for what you're seeing. As the sun sets behind New Jersey, watch the glow of the sinking sun reflect in the windows of skyscrapers.
Food from the onboard cafe – like salads, sandwiches and snacks – as well as beer, wine and cocktails at the bar are available for purchase. This is an ideal situation for groups with varying levels of hunger and thirst. Sit alfresco in the breeze or indoors in the climate-controlled cabin – it's up to you.
Non-English-speaking guests can download the Circle Line app for narration available in several languages; just be sure to bring your own headset.
