If you're looking for a peaceful way to experience the Hudson River, this outfit consistently delivers. Passengers rave about the knowledgeable captain and friendly crew who make every trip memorable with their humor, helpfulness, and insightful commentary about local landmarks and Hudson Valley history. The boat itself is clean, charming, and surprisingly spacious for smaller groups, creating an intimate atmosphere that's perfect for date nights or family outings. The scenic cruises between Peekskill and Bear Mountain offer breathtaking views, and reviewers love the relaxed vibe throughout. They offer drinks featuring local spirits and snacks to enjoy while you cruise. One helpful tip from regulars: arrive early to snag the best seats, particularly the bench-style seating at the back of the boat (though some mention bringing a cushion if you have back issues). The crew stands out for their accessibility efforts too, going above and beyond to accommodate guests with mobility needs and ensure everyone gets prime viewing spots.

What people are saying

I've gone out on the boat 3 times. Once for the 4th of July fireworks, once for a sunset cruise, and once for the haunted boat tour. I'll never get tired of these views but the crew also knows how to spice it up.
