FAQs about Top Dinner Cruises in New York City, NY
Even though dinner parties are often associated with sitting in an elegant outfit and eating fancy meals, most celebrations on party boats can't do without dancing. But don’t worry, you can expect dancefloors, live music, boat bars with crafted cocktails and DJ-s on the boat to get the party moving. On top of these, sound systems and special lighting gear are often standard on many booze cruises in NYC.
The standard New York dinner cruise lasts 2.5 hours, which is plenty of time to enjoy the food and music and see all the sights along the Hudson or the East River. Meanwhile, some cruises around Manhattan are slightly longer - about 3 to 3.5 hours, or even offer full-day excursions, like this sailboat. Many dinner cruises do not have a set sailing duration, so to find out how long your cruise will last, contact the venue manager and ask for details.
The average price for an hour on a dinner cruise is $500. If you’re looking for affordable cruises in NY, check out Go Sailing NYC, where the price drops to $325 per hour. On average, the price for dinner cruises and yacht rentals in New York City usually hovers around $2000 and $5000 per session. (All data from Tagvenue.)
- Bring your own drinks - Plenty of dinner cruise ships have open bar options, but bringing your own beverages can help you save money, and you will have exactly what you want to drink. For instance, Chelsea Piers Marina allows BYOB without a corkage fee so that you can enjoy your preferred drinks alongside their delicious dinner.
- Pack essentials - As dinner cruises can last several hours, it's important to pack essentials such as a light jacket or sweater in case it gets chilly, comfortable shoes for walking around the ship, and any necessary medications. Additionally, don't forget your camera to capture the stunning views of the city’s skyline from a different angle!
- Take advantage of entertainment - Your adventure on the water won't end with just dinner and the views! Many dinner cruises have a speaker and a spacious dance floor, or sometimes even live music or a DJ.
