Sunset Hot Tub Boat Tour Details

Your sunset boat cruise in NYC enables you to safely and comfortably relax in a hot tub as you take in the very best of the city. Not only will it provide you and your friends with an evening to remember, but it’ll also allow you to see the beautiful glow of the ‘magic hour.’What’s the magic hour, you ask? It’s a term photographers use to describe the planet’s natural glow just after sunset. It makes your pictures look better, which is good news for you as part of our voyage will include the Statue of Liberty sunset cruise. You can take awe-inspiring images without even leaving the hot tub.Join us on a one-of-a-kind NYC sunset cruise. It’ll provide the perfect ambiance for anything you wish to celebrate, including an anniversary, a birthday, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a special date, or even popping the question. Whatever brings you aboard our sunset cruise in NYC will instantly become enhanced as your worries melt away in the hot tub’s year-round comfort.

The Hot Tub Boat Experience

Our Manhattan sunset cruise is a truly memorable experience. Whoever joins you in the hot tub will be completely wowed as our boat makes its way down the Hudson River. Crack open one of your drinks (BYOB) and enjoy beer, champagne, wine, or hard seltzer as you watch the city go by. 

A lot of people have been to NYC, and some of them have even gone on sunset cruises before. However, adding in a hot tub makes for a unique ride that you’ll be talking about for years to come! Plus, you and your guests will gain the many proven benefits of hot tub soaking, including: 

  • Better circulation 
  • Reduced anxiety and stress
  • Reduced blood pressure 
  • Reduced inflammation 
  • Increased range of motion
  • And more! 

 

In other words, our sunset boat tours in NYC are the gift that keeps on giving! Many of the benefits listed above will also help you if you book this experience to do something nerve-wracking such as proposing. 

Also, you never have to worry about the condition of the hot tub. That’s because we keep it professionally maintained up to luxury hotel standards. Additionally, we sanitize each tub between guests. They’re also kept chlorinated and are commercial grade, so let all your worries melt away! 

 

Sights You’ll See 

Half the reason someone signs up for our sunset hot tub tour is to see NYC from a completely different perspective. You definitely won’t be disappointed as we chart a course past each of the following: 

  • Statue of Liberty 
  • Governor’s Island 
  • Empire State Building 
  • The World Trade Center/Freedom Tower 
  • The Mighty Hudson River 
  • NYC’s Amazing Skyline 
  • And much, much more! 

 

Can you imagine how fantastic and unique it will be to ride inside a hot tub on a boat, and see landmarks that have drawn people from around the world to New York City? If you want to have an exclusive, luxury experience, our hot tub sunset cruise more than fits the bill!

Meet the Crew

As you step onboard our boat, you’ll be greeted by a professional crew. Your boat will be steered by a United States Coast Guard Master Captain, which is the highest rank a civilian captain can earn. Additionally, there will be deckhands onboard to take care of any of your needs. 

Our captain has a wealth of knowledge about NYC, along with the landmarks you’ll see. They typically share some stories with you via the loudspeaker to further enhance your ride. If you prefer not to hear these stories, simply tell the captain as you board. 

Deckhands will attend to you throughout the boat ride, and they’ll happily grab things for you once you’re in the hot tub. For instance, if you happen to forget your towel in the changing room, they’ll gladly retrieve it for you.

NYC hot tub boat cruise route map — departing Jersey City into New York Harbor past One World Trade Center, the Financial District, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge

One World Trade Center

Start with NYC’s tallest landmark

As you settle into the warm water, you’ll cruise out into New York Harbor with One World Trade Center rising in front of you. From the water, you get a full, unobstructed view of the Downtown Manhattan skyline.

Photo Tip: Turn back toward the city and frame the full skyline with One World Trade Center centered in your shot.

Skim past the heart of the Financial District

Glide past the Financial District skyline

Next you’ll shoot up the East River, passing the bright orange Staten Island ferries and the buzzing Wall Street Heliport. This is where you really feel the movement of New York Harbor all around you – ferries, barges, tour boats and helicopters.

Photo Tip: Watch for ferries crossing the channel and helicopters overhead for those classic “only in New York” action shots.

Brooklyn Bridge

Ride beneath one of the world’s most famous bridges

Glide beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and take in sweeping views of both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Your guide will give you time to slow down, soak in the arches, and capture the iconic bridge-and-skyline perspective from water level.

Photo Tip: Face back toward Manhattan and position the bridge off to one side of the frame for a dramatic wide shot.

Governors Island & Verrazzano View

Cruise the Brooklyn shoreline with harbor panoramas

From the bridge you’ll follow the Brooklyn shoreline past Governors Island. On a clear day you’ll spot the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the distance, marking the opening of New York Harbor out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Photo Tip: Look south for a wide, cinematic view that captures the harbor, Governors Island and the Verrazzano all in one shot.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Circle Lady Liberty and finish with a skyline finale

To cap off the tour, you’ll ride straight across one of the busiest natural harbors in the world to get up close to the Statue of Liberty. After a slow loop around Liberty Island, you’ll pass Ellis Island and line up your final photos with the Manhattan skyline behind you.

Photo Tip: Use burst mode as you circle the statue so you can pick the perfect frame with both Lady Liberty and the skyline in the background.
