You're not just any old New Yorker—so why settle for any old New York experience? The very thought of it makes us shudder. If you're desperate to see our city from a unique vantage point, look no further. We recommend stepping aboard one of Hornblower's sleek, sexy yachts. With names like Hornblower Infinity and Hornblower Hybrid, these state-of-the-art yachts promise a truly exhilarating ride.
Like the city itself, there's pretty much nothing you can't do aboard one of Hornblower's public entertainment, dining or sightseeing cruises. For you partygoers, we recommend either the Alive After Five Cruise (sailing 6–8pm) or the Rock the Yacht! Cruise (sailing 9pm–midnight), each departing from Pier 15 at the South Street Seaport. Both cruises deliver on the promises that their names imply.
If you're looking for great first-date ideas, try either the Manhattan Dinner Cruise (sailing 7–10pm) or the Sunday Jazz Brunch Cruise (sailing 12:30–2:30pm). The classy cuisine aboard both yachts rivals that of the restaurants surrounding Pier 40 in the West Village, the cruises' departure point. These seated dining cruises also offer great venues for small group gatherings, particularly for area businesses.
But for Hornblower's premier experience, consider booking a private charter. You can take work to the water for your next meeting, conference or team-building event. Or, for all you socialites, plan your next gala, fund-raiser, concert, fashion show, product launch or wedding. Want to pull off a really sensational holiday party? Hornblower has its own dedicated team of professional events planners to ensure you have All The Fun, whether it's a corporate or social celebration. Just check out the slideshow above to see what we mean.
Another reason to consider cruising? The Hornblower Hybrid is Gotham's first eco-friendly yacht, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, solar panels and wind turbines, and featuring sustainable flooring and ceiling tiles. Oh, plus climate-controlled decks, TVs and a fully stocked bar. Priorities, people.
So, get ready to take to the water. The experience awaits...
