2.4th of July Fireworks Party Cruise with Buffet & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 122 reviews · 4 hours · from $269

July 4th Hudson cruise with DJ party, BBQ buffet and drinks, and skyline views during Macy’s fireworks with a late-night return.

“Overall it was a great experience and had a great view of the fireworks and New York City. The food was appropriate for 4th of July and bar service was great. My only complaint is they requested we get there an hour early and didn't depart until 30 min after 7pm. It was humid and hot in the dock. Didn't really need to be there that early. Would definitely do it again.”
