Bobby Kitsios

We used NYC WATER CRUISES for our wedding on Oct 13, 2024. I thought the scenery would be a beautiful backdrop for our wedding but little did I know how great the staff would be and how much it would contribute to the day. The guests (82) were raving about the food and the service. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

It was a perfect day for us and our friends and family. Highly recommend.

Our company chose NYC WATER CRUISES for a corporate event, and it was a hit! The atmosphere was professional yet fun, the staff was attentive, and the boat itself was elegant. We’ve already decided to book again next year.

I surprised my wife with a dinner cruise for her birthday. The city lights at night created such a romantic mood. The service was impeccable, and the live music was a beautiful touch. We’ll remember this evening forever.

We hosted a family reunion on board, and it couldn’t have been better. There was plenty of space, the food options satisfied everyone (even the picky eaters), and the kids loved being on the water. Thank you for the amazing memories!

Attending a holiday cruise with friends was the highlight of our December. The decorations were festive, the drinks were fantastic, and the staff made us feel like VIP guests all night long. Can’t wait to go again!
