Statue of Liberty Sunset Cruise

Soak up the New York City skyline at golden hour on a 90-minute sunset cruise from the South Street Seaport to the Statue of Liberty. Great music, open-air decks, and some of the most breathtaking views New York Harbor has to offer.

Departing from Pier 16 at South Street Seaport, this 90-minute evening cruise is your invitation to experience New York City the way it deserves to be seen: from the water, at sunset, with great music playing and a drink in hand.

As you leave the dock, the skyline opens up around you. Sail south along the East River and into New York Harbor, taking in sweeping views of Lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the glittering cityscape as the sun begins to dip toward the horizon. Then comes the highlight: an up-close pass by the Statue of Liberty, illuminated in the warm glow of the golden hour and impossible to photograph badly.

This is a relaxed, vibe-forward experience. There is no formal narration on this sailing. Instead, great music sets the mood while open decks and panoramic views do the talking. The vessel is smaller and more intimate than the daytime sightseeing boats, which makes for a genuinely personal and unhurried atmosphere on the water.

Whether you are a New York local looking for a fresh way to enjoy the city you love or a visitor wanting an authentic golden-hour moment you will not forget, this sunset cruise delivers exactly that. Sit back on the outdoor deck, unwind after a full day of exploring, and let the city put on its best show.

An onboard bar serves cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks, and hot drinks available for purchase throughout the journey.
