Step aboard 1920s-style yacht Manhattan II and cruise north on the Hudson River in style! While on this 2-hour cruise, guests can admire the Palisades of the Hudson River through the windows and skylights of the boat's heated and enclosed observatory, or while catching the breeze on the open bow.

We also have hot cocoa onboard (spiked and regular). A Fall themed lunch served family-style of soup, sandwiches, salad and dessert is also included.

Good To Know

  • Peak fall foliage is not guaranteed. We have seen fall colors at their peak as early as mid-October and as late early December along the waterfront in the Palisades of New Jersey (the prime destination of our fall foliage excursions). Refunds due to ‘lack of color’, will not be honored. Cruising on the Hudson River, north by the Palisades, is a unique and interesting route and is the declared value of this excursion.
  • Please coordinate with the operator in advance if assistance is required for boarding or if you have any questions about general accessibility. Accessibility varies by boat
  • Only animals that perform a manual task to assist a person are permitted aboard. Emotional support animals and pets are not permitted
  • Please let operator know in advance if purchasing tickets separately from others in your party so that they can seat you together
  • Large group bookings are not permitted. Multiple bookings are subject to added fees or cancellation by operator
  • Children must be accompanied by an adult; Minimum drinking age is 21 years (valid ID required)
