Bottomless brunch booking. Not sure what more people could ask for if you book this. Unlimited mexican food (which was really well cooked, the mahi mahi was excellent), drinks topped up throughout and a clean, comfortable boat. An excellent birthday, thanks to Tomasz and all involved in this venture.

So the weather is getting nice in NYC ....and my friend is making her list of "must go places" for spring and summer. This experience was high on her list and she wants to be first in line when the open for the season. . I was surprised I had not Yelped this place because had I she would not have included this one on her list. I went during the summer to celebrate another friend's birthday. I personally felt it did not live up to the hype. The tacos ranged from blan to mid....and the lobster tacos actually were the worst!!!! I am not sure if they were supposed to be in butter but talk about oily....the bland red oil was pouring from the tacos with each bite. We got a lot of food since our party was big.....just about every taco on the menu, including a few additional sides, and I can't recommend anything. Now that I told you how bad the food is, let me tell you what was good......the drinks...in particular the frozen Sangría but all of the drinks were good. Also, we did the evening cruise the last one of the day, and the views are un matched. I think tourists would love this....it gets very close to Lady Liberty, and you have an ample amount of time to get great pics. Would I go back....Nope.....would I recommend....uhm...only if you are having drinks and want pics....then why not.

Service , let’s say understaffed. Very pricey food but was mediocre and cold. Atmosphere was nice but they need to living up the place with good upbeat music in the background. They spent so time with I’m guessing themselves in the back someone next to us walked out on bill. So we had to wait to exit boat until they found them ( they never did) while all other people were exiting we were just waiting. Then they forgot about us smh. Nice idea tacos on a boat but definitely first and last.

The food/drinks here are below average at best. Margarita pitcher of mostly ice and the food was severely under seasoned. The boat itself is cute and our server was very nice, but the service was EXTREMELY slow. Save your money and check out some of the other boats in the area.

My wife and I attended the NYE event buying the couples package.We travelled across from the UK and really struggled to find somewhere within reasonable pricing to spend NYE. After copious amounts of research on where to spend NYE we came across this event on Google.We were not disappointed.Food was excellent, service was great staff super friendly from servers, to bar staff, to security I can not fault.The cocktails were a stand out no limitations really good quality and versatility.This is a must for NYE, we a reserved table some NYE props on the house, a bottle of Verve included and we were able to wander the deck for some of the best views of NYC at night.Fab way to bring in the new year!Don't miss out ?

It was a beautiful experience. The scenery and the boat are so gorgeous. Unfortunately the food is not the best. They only have vegetarian nachos which were not great and they wouldn’t allow us to substitute the impossible beef for chicken. The dessert was delicious, we ordered churros.

I had a great evening on the cruise for my nephew's 40th bd celebration. The staff was attentive and the food was really good! The spread included beer, wine, well drinks and a champagne toast. Guests enjoyed shrimp, chickenand beef Tacos. The guacamole was delicious and the music was? Thanks to the manager and wait staff for making the 2hrs around the harbor such a wonderful event!

$21 for chips & guacamole is a rip offThis boat legit if you're not made of money don't get on it, not worth it you'll be stuck for 1-2hours feeling awkward with nothing but music in English playingEveryone has a different experience I had a horrible one thought yall would love a view of the menu prices tho good luck to those who choose to board
