New York Harbor Brunch Cruise

About this experience

Step aboard one of our 1920s-style yachts with teak decks, large observation windows, and aesthetically-pleasing decor for a leisurely weekend brunch cruise.

Our menu is packed with delicious New York State foods and local goods from NYC purveyors: fresh bagels and bakery, seasonal fruit, craft meat, fresh seasonal salad, frittata, a classic smoked salmon display, and pastries.
