Sweet 16 Hot Tub Boat Party Cruise Details
Reserve our entire hot tub boat to take full advantage of our Sweet 16 cruise packages. No one but your party and our crew will be on board, which means you can truly have the time of your life. With two hot tubs on our boat, you can even split your party in half between friends and family members. Use our Bluetooth-enabled speakers to play different music at each hot tub too. Everyone will have a blast, and you’ll get to enjoy your Sweet 16 by soaking all your worries away.
Don’t forget to bring a camera to capture the magic of your big day! Because you’ll be in a hot tub, you can ask one of our deckhands to take a few photos for you. After all, these dedicated professionals are there to help you out with anything you may need.
One really good reason to separate your friends from your adult family members is that adults can BYOB. While you and your friends enjoy soft drinks, your older relatives can kick back with their choice of beer, champagne, wine, or hard seltzer. This will take the pressure off both sides of the equation, and you’ll still have the time of your life!
The Hot Tub Boat Experience

Slipping into our temperature-controlled hot tub will provide you with an experience unlike any other. Plus, you’ll get to see some of the best landmarks in the city. While you take it all in, you’ll also receive the numerous benefits associated with hot tubs, including:
- Reduced anxiety and stress
- Reduced inflammation
- Better circulation
- Reduced blood pressure
- Increased range of motion
- And much more!
Another nice touch is that our hot tubs are kept to luxury hotel standards. Therefore, you can put all your concerns to rest as you soak in a commercial grade, chlorinated, fully sanitized hot tub for your Sweet 16 birthday boat tour. There is truly no other experience quite like it, which makes it ideal for your big day.

Meet the Crew
Step aboard our one-of-a-kind hot tub boat and you’ll be greeted by our United States Coast Guard Master Captain. This is the highest rank granted to a civilian captain, and it takes 720 hours at sea to even be eligible for this ranking. Therefore, you know your captain is highly skilled, so you can focus solely on having fun! Our captain is also a master storyteller, and he’d love to tell you some lesser-known facts and stories about NYC’s landmarks during your ride. If you prefer not to hear any of these facts, though, simply tell him when you come on board.
You’ll also be greeted aboard by our dedicated deckhands. They serve two roles on our hot tub cruise: assisting you and assisting the captain. If you need anything at all, feel free to ask a deckhand for it. They’ll make sure you’re all set! In between each set of guests, our deckhands fully sanitize the hot tubs. All you need to do is board the boat, change into your swimming suit, and you’ll be ready to climb into one of our luxury hot tubs.

The Experience
90 Minutes. Your Group. Your Drinks Your Playlist. Iconic View.
Your Journey
5 Iconic Stops – 1 incredible tour
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.
