A Few Tips Before Hosting or Attending Dinner Cruises

While planning our the best food is a major key to a great night, these ideas may help elevate your night even more!

• Will you serve an alcoholic drink? We like a glass of champagne when boarding and a bottle of wine chilling for dinner.
• Will you have any live entertainment or live music?
• Do you have foul-weather gear just in case you hit rough seas?
• Think about food safety. Do any of your food options need to be refrigerated, or can they be kept at room temperature?
• Do you need any kitchen appliances?
• If you’re going at sunset, another good idea is to bring a blanket or sweater.
• Do you plan on seeing anything? For example humpback whales or specific landmarks like the Empire State Building.
• If you’re wanting to keep the meal simple, lunch cruises are a great option! You could serve sandwiches with pasta salad!

The best thing about dinner on a boat is that you can make it what you want! You can plan a fine dining experience with lobster and white wine, or you can do beer or soft drinks and hot dogs after a hot day exploring!

Some of the most delicious meals are because of the memories attached to them!

We hope these ideas help you get out of your comfort zone and have an amazing night on the water!

Departing from Chelsea Piers, Bateaux offers frazzled New Yorkers a relaxing three-hour, three-course getaway cruise along the Hudson.

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 South, Chelsea Piers. Budget range?   A pretty decent price to see this dazzling city lit up as you float along it. Time Out Tip:   There's a semi-formal dress code for this floating shindig, so skip the sandals and bring a tie. 

2.  North River Lobster Company

• Hell's Kitchen

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. 

3.  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.

Dancing is encouraged.

Where is it?  Pier 61 Chelsea Piers, Manhattan, New York. 

Budget range? A pricey one, but well spent for an evening cruise through New York's harbor 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. 

5.  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.

6.  NYC: Gourmet Dinner Cruise with Live Music

This 3-hour cruise down the Hudson River combines delicious food with dazzling sights.

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.

8.  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.

#1 Best Dinner Cruises in NYC

Being encircled by not one but two rivers, New York is a great destination for dinner cruises. Regardless of whether you have a reason to celebrate or not, a dinner cruise in NYC will guarantee an unforgettable evening, because it combines breathtaking views of the city at dawn and delicious food with a relaxing atmosphere accompanied with music.

Besides the classic boat tours with dinner, I have more highlights for you that I was totally excited about: they are different sailing tours where a drink is included in the price and you can enjoy the view in wonderful ambience!

Which dinner cruise in New York is the best?

As you can see, we love the combination of boat tour, sightseeing and food. Therefore, we have tried many dinner cruises over the years. Some, unfortunately, were disappointing and way too expensive for what you got (so these are not represented in my best list).

We can personally recommend two dinner cruises: the Bateaux Dinner Cruise and the Dinner Cruise with the SPIRIT . We always had a great time on both!

#2 What Is The Best Boat Tour With Live Music in NYC?

If you like jazz as much as I do, these boat tours are really recommended – I’ve done all of them!

• Bateaux Dinner Cruise Tickets (year round)
• Live Jazz City Lights Sail (May to October only)
• Evening Jazz Cruise on the Yacht Manhattan (year round)

Relax on a comfortable boat as it cruises around New York Harbor and Manhattan! On this relaxing 2-hour brunch cruise, you’ll enjoy an open-air brunch buffet and music from a DJ. You’ll see the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building from a different perspective. Just great!

03 Spirit: Buffet Dinner Cruise from New Jersey

This dinner cruise starts in New Jersey and takes you along the Hudson River and East River. You will see the skyline of New York with all its important buildings. You will also see the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge from very close and have a delicious meal.

It’s really nice when you go to the outside deck and hear the typical New York sounds. It doesn’t get any better than that!

04 Private Luxury Sailing Tour New York City

Imagine sailing through the heart of the Big Apple, being cradled by the gentle breezes of the Hudson River, with the stunning backdrop of the NYC skyline unfolding before your eyes. Sounds amazing, right? Well, buckle up because you’re in for a treat!

This private sailing excursion from Chelsea Piers offers exactly that – a golden ticket to a luxurious experience that’ll blow your mind. And, my dear friend, it’s not just any sightseeing tour; it’s a remarkable voyage that takes you along Manhattan’s West Side, bathing you in spectacular panoramic views of Ellis Island, the imposing Statue of Liberty, and the awe-inspiring skyline of Lower Manhattan, including the iconic One World Trade.

But it doesn’t stop there. The sailboat itself is a luxury to behold! You can lounge on the deck, soak up the sun and the scenery, or retreat to the cabin for some comfy relaxation. With seating for up to six people, it’s the perfect intimate gathering for you and your friends. You’ll have a dedicated captain, ensuring a personal and exceptional experience throughout.

In short, this isn’t just a cruise; it’s an unforgettable journey brimming with luxury, comfort, and captivating views. If you’re in NYC, this is a must-try adventure! And remember to pack your camera, because you’ll want to capture every moment!

This tour is the perfect way to unwind on the water and enjoy some of the city’s top attractions while sipping wine.

06 Manhattan By Sail - Sunset, Wine, and Jazz Sail

Picture this: You’re sailing under the twinkling stars, the awe-inspiring New York skyline and the majestic Statue of Liberty framing your view, while the soulful tunes of some of America’s best Jazz musicians serenade your senses. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, this could be your reality!

Get ready to swing the night away on this tall ship, the Clipper City. This experience is not just a cruise; it’s a journey into the romantic heart of New York harbor, with the best jazz tunes as your soundtrack.

As you step aboard this iconic tall ship – a replica of the lumber-hauling schooners that powered America’s industry over a century ago – you’re immediately whisked away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Jazz legends like guitarist Joe Cohn and saxophonist Avram Fefer will soothe your soul with their cool, smooth sounds. And guess what? This star-studded line-up is personally curated by James Polsky, the founder of Jazz Standard!

As the crew expertly sets the massive sails, you’ll embark on an unforgettable cruise along the Hudson and East Rivers. The Clipper City’s decks are wonderfully spacious, decked out with plenty of comfortable seating and a full bar. And let’s not forget the raised quarter deck back aft – this prime spot offers unparalleled views of the city’s harbor and iconic skyline.

07 Classic Harbor Line: Evening Jazz Cruise on the Yacht Manhattan

From one of our absolute favorite boat tours in New York there is also a Jazz Cruise. You are on board a luxury yacht in the style of the 1920s, which has a wonderful charm and is not to be compared with the big sightseeing ships. The jazz cruise starts at the Chelsea Piers and takes you along the Hudson River to the Statue of Liberty and the harbor of New York. On the way you can enjoy a wonderful view of the New York skyline and smooth jazz at the same time.

My tip: On board you can order various small dishes to eat.

08 Live Jazz City Lights Sail

This 90-minute live jazz sail is one of the best NYC sails I’ve ever done. You’ll sail from Chelsea Piers to New York Harbor, always with the beautiful skyline and Statue of Liberty in view. What you can expect on the Live Jazz City Lights Sail and why you should definitely do it, I’ll tell you in my report!

NOTE: This is one of the best jazz cruises in NYC – even if it doesn’t include dinner!

09 Classic Harbor Line: Champagne City Lights Cruise

We had an amazing time onboard the luxurious 1920s inspired motor yacht. Combine sightseeing with a romantic evening and step onboard the 1920s inspired boat at Pier 62 (Chelsea Piers – W. 22nd and Hudson River). During the 90-minutes long tour, you’ll get to see iconic NYC sights along the water and most importantly breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Especially in the summer, you can admire the most beautiful sunset during this special cruise. There is seating inside the yacht and outside seating as well.

ATTENTION : Here are only snacks on board, but the atmosphere is simply amazing!

11 2-Hour Day Sail to Statue of Liberty on America 2.0

This sailing tour is one of the most enjoyable boat tours I’ve ever done in New York! On board on this 105-foot schooner you sail from the Chelsea Piers to the Statue of Liberty and can always see the beautiful skyline of Manhattan and New Jersey. Included in the price is a drink and guaranteed a lot of fun.

NOTE: This is one of the best boat tours in NYC – even if it doesn’t include dinner!

12 La Barca All-Inclusive Mexican Dinner Cruise

La Barca is New York’s only Mexican restaurant on board a ship. On this dinner cruise, you’ll cruise the Hudson River to the southern tip of Manhattan while eating delicious tacos and churros. Grab a margarita and then head to the outdoor deck – from here you can enjoy the stunning evening skyline of New York.

Which dinner cruise in NYC is the cheapest?

One thing in advance: the dinner cruises are not cheap. However, considering that you get dinner, a 3 hour sightseeing cruise, and a very special experience, it justifies the price.

The cheapest dinner cruises start at around $160. An alternative to this are brunch cruises or lunch cruises . These take place on the same ships and the itineraries are a bit shorter – here, the cheapest tickets start at $80.

Where do the dinner cruises depart from in New York?

The departure point depends on the operators: the two main ones depart from Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River at Pier 61/62. However, there are also Queens and Jersey City as departure locations.

Are there dinner cruises for special events?

Yes, especially the 4th of July, Thanksgiving dinner cruises, Christmas cruises and New Year’s Eve dinner cruises are very popular. If you are in New York at this time and plan to have dinner on a boat, you should book quickly. The tickets are very popular and the tours sell out quickly.

To help you quickly find the right dinner cruise for you, here are the best 4th of July Cruises , Thanksgiving Cruises , Christmas Cruises  and New Years Eve Cruises for you.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, there is a dress code: smart casual.

With that in mind, our Fairline is the default choice for a yacht dinner cruise in Fort Lauderdale. The spacious cabin and aft sun pad make the vessel versatile in every sense. 

Our Fairline is the best all-purpose boat for any boat ride and dinner in Fort Lauderdale. As a larger vessel, our Fairline offers ample seating both inside and out. A large bow and open-air cabin allows you to feel the crisp sea breeze from virtually any location on the boat. Thanks to our upgraded galley, the Fairline can provide the most exclusive private chef experiences on the water. Our newly furnished air-conditioned interior provides a comfortable and secluded location. 

This vessel can accommodate up to twelve guests with a cabin of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plentiful outdoor seating on the bow, stern, and cockpit.

Visit a Restaurant on the Water

End a sunset cruise with a stop at one of Fort Lauderdale’s best restaurants. There’s no better way to show up to the most popular spot in town than with a yacht charter . Build a custom getaway and choose from a selection of first-class dinner spots. With a reservation in place, we’ll dock at the restaurant and have a table waiting for your arrival. 

A laid-back spot right on the Intracoastal Waterway that offers classic American foods, drinks, and sometimes live music. It’s an excellent spot for those who want elevated American cuisine with a twist on seafood. Come for dinner and enjoy a raw bar featuring delicious oysters. 

Mastros Ocean Club

A twist on the classic steakhouse, Mastro’s seafood location is recognized for its combination of world-class service, highly acclaimed cuisine, and live entertainment in an elegant yet energetic atmosphere. Whether you’re in the mood for steak or seafood, Mastros has an impressive selection.

15th Street Fisheries

A long-standing marina eatery dishing upscale & casual fare with live music and tarpon feeding. A great place to eat alongside the water like a local. If you’re looking for a less casual vibe, the second floor features a more upscale dining experience with award-winning seafood options.

A modern American restaurant that offers an extensive menu of fresh seafood, hand-cut steaks, crisp salads, hand-patted burgers, and more. Sit alongside the water and more unique dishes, such as fire-roasted octopus and maple leaf duck confit.

More Dinner Cruise Vessels

While our Fairline is the go-to boat for a Fort Lauderdale dinner cruise, our options are extensive. While our private chef experience is reserved for the Fairline, visiting a restaurant by boat is possible on any of our vessels. With our commitment to freedom, all of our trips are customizable. Simply book a custom trip with us and request a stop at one of our available dining establishments. 

Our Sea Ray is among the largestest vessels in our fleet, providing enough space to travel up to twelve guests comfortably. It features ample seating, complete with a dining table and an oversized couch. The wraparound windows allow you to take in the views of Fort Lauderdale, even from the inside. With a second floor, you’ll be able to grasp a new perspective of the city.

Overall, this vessel can accommodate large groups with a cabin of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large saloon. Our extended bow allows for extensive outdoor seating on the front of the vessel with more found in the cockpit and bridge.

Fountaine Pajot

The Fountaine Pajot is one of the most luxurious ways to enjoy a dinner in Fort Lauderdale. Serving as the French shipbuilder’s flagship model, this catamaran is built with comfort and luxury in mind. With nearly 60 feet of length, there is plenty of room to walk around on the exterior, allowing you to freely find the perfect spot to take in the sights. At the rear of the vessel sits a large dining table, allowing for 180-degree views of the water. Just let us know, and we’ll set the stage for the perfect backdrop to your dinner. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable living space complete with a couch as well as a galley that’s equipped with an oven and refrigerator. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms are also at your disposal.
