5.00We had SO much fun on the jazz cruise and will never forget our wonderful host, Andrew. He was absolutely delightful - so accommodating and attentive. The boat is beautiful, the jazz was fantastic and it was just an overall amazing evening! We also appreciated that we could still talk while the music was playing.

5.00Excellent ride with close view of Statue of Liberty sunsets and plenty of phot opportunities. Boat was beautiful and clean with lively bad and great lighting. Only downside was all cocktails are not complimentary just the wines beers and sodas but not a big enough deal for me to remove a star. Service was lovely

5.00Had a great cruise! Service, drinks, live jazz, and views were all a terrific experience! When we go to NYC again, we will do this cruise again! This was a cool way to see the harbor, no one constantly talking about what to look at, just wonderful jazz music, and the time to enjoy the scenery at sunset!

5.00Really fun! Staff/crew is wonderful! They served drinks and food and also took time to take everyone's picture with the skyline, Brooklyn Briodge and Sratue of Liberty. The jazz band, "Boat Band" was awesome! We would definitely do it again!

5.00The Classic Harborline sunset jazz cruise around the Statue of Liberty was easily the highlight of our choir's New York tour. From the moment we stepped onboard, we knew this cruise would be the icing on the cake of our 7 day choir tour. As the boat sailed into the harbor, the views were absolutely stunning. Watching the sun set behind the Manhattan skyline while passing the Statue of Liberty was unforgettable. The live jazz music really elevated the experience. The musicians were talented and added a classy vibe to the cruise. The crew was friendly and welcoming, and the overall pace of the cruise was calm and enjoyable. It felt like a great mix of sightseeing and relaxation. Overall, this cruise is a fantastic way to see New York City from the water while enjoying live music in a fun atmosphere. Don't miss this fun experience when visiting New York. We will definitely be back next time we are in the Big Apple!
