Premier Dinner Cruise by Bateaux New York

Chelsea Piers, New York, New York

Description

The Dinner Cruise offered by Bateaux New York takes customers for 3h of sailing on the East and Hudson Rivers offering evening and night views of NYC skyline. The sightseeing is complemented by a live band performance. The food consists in a 3-cours meal and some non-alcoholic drinks are included whilst alcoholic drinks are available for purchase (cocktails, wine and beer).

Access & Transport

Boarding is at Pier 61, Chelsea Piers on West 23rd & 12th Ave. This is a 15mins (1km) walk from 23rd St (A, C, E), 14 St / 8 Av (A, C, E, L) and 34 Street-Hudson Yards Subway Station (7).

Instructions & Recommendations

Min. age is 6 years old. Price is generally more expensive of Friday and Saturday night and there is a surcharge of about $40/pers. to guarantee seating at a window table. Dress code is semi-formal.

Meta review

Mostly excellent online comments with customers enjoying the exceptional views with access to the outdoor area. There are some less fortunate reviewers who complain of their romantic expectations being dashed by noisy larger groups (company dinners for instance). As for the food it is described as good but not top-tier with many items being subject to surcharge.

Environmental & Social

The all-glass vessel does not seem to be electrically powered. No mention of food sustainability and sourcing policy.

Conclusion

On paper it looks like the perfect romantic ticket but not everybody may see it this way and the pricing makes this unaffordable, or at the very least poor value, for most travellers. Best kept for a special occasion and hope to get lucky with the weather and the other tables.

Key positive

Exceptional setting and views

Key negative

Very expensive, even by NYC standards
