Winter Holiday Hot Tub Boat Tour Details

Many people believe that the holiday season isn’t a good time to go out on a boat. Usually, they’d be right, too. However, our variable-temperature hot tubs enable you to be outside during the winter in your swimming suit without being affected by cold weather. If that sounds like a dream come true, grab your closest friends and family members, and get ready to take a winter cruise in NYC! One of the best parts is that the Hudson River has less traffic during the holiday season, which means you’ll get an even better look at the best of the city. All this while you relax in a nice hot tub!

Fun Group Activity

As we were leaving the hot tub boat, my friends and I were already talking about when we could make time to go again. This was a fabulous time - we listened to music, had a glass of wine, looked at the sites of the city all while staying warm in the hot tub in this great tub boat experience. I arranged this activity for myself and 4 of my girlfriends just for fun because we don't get to see one another often enough. This was absolutely magical and we took a million photos which all came out so breathtaking with the city all around us and the view of the water. I highly recommend this boat trip. We all loved it.

Incredible City Views

Would highly recommend! The staff was incredible and got to see amazing city views which makes for great pictures. Super fun for celebrating with a group of friends, they have music playing and its BYOB!

Wonderful Experience

he hot tub boat around Manhattan was one of the most wonderful things I've done. I highly recommend for a special occasion. The water temperature is perfect to hang out in for 90 mins in the cold without it getting too hot to handle. You will be up close to the statue of liberty and right under the Brooklyn Bridge. It's definitely a NYC highlight and I hope to do it again some day!

Amazing Bachelorette & Birthday Party Fun

I had the best time on the hot tub boat! The crew was all amazing. It was a blast being able to listen to any music we wanted and the pictures we took look so cool! I would definitely recommend for a date, for a big birthday party, bachelorette fun and more! Not enough great things to say!

One of Our Coolest Experience!

By far one of the coolest experiences ever! Made extra amazing by the wonderful and attentive staff that truly went above and beyond. Zoe, Kelsey and Captain made my best friend’s bachelorette a truly memorable experience. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Zoey was our host & she was nothing shy of amazing along with the rest of the staff..they had everything we thought we forgot & some. We went on a Friday around 3pm. This was my 1st time, but I will definitely be back again. I highly recommend you try this one here!!

It Was So Fun!

“I’ve sailed with Sea the City on their Hot Tub boats twice now (both on private tours with both tubs reserved, up to 20 people total), and the staff has been kind, understanding, fun, and easy. The first time was in Spring 2021, and the second time was recently in Spring 2023. They are thorough when it comes to a brief and safety rundown at the beginning of the tour, and for the rest of the evening, are completely on top of service when it comes to making sure the coolers are full of drinks, picking up empties, taking group pictures, etc. On this most recent reservation, I had indicated that my group was celebrating a special event, which was the Eurovision Final happening the following day. The staff actually put “Eurovision 2023” on a rainbow light board and took our picture with it. It was so fun and everyone was so surprise in the best way possible.

The Hot Tub Boat Experience    

Can you picture yourself and your friends having a fantastic time outside, regardless of the weather? You can bring either up to 10 people or up to 20 people on one voyage on our holiday boat tour of NYC. Each person is allowed to BYOB too, as long as they stick to beer, champagne, hard seltzer, or wine only. 

Your holiday cruise in NYC lasts for 1.5 hours, which provides plenty of time for you to enjoy the contrast between your lovely, steaming hot environment and the crisp winter air. Plus, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get the ideal Instagram snaps of you and your friends with the NYC skyline in the background.

In addition to having a good time, you’ll also benefit from the many proven therapeutic benefits of soaking in a hot tub, including: 

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

By merely sitting in a hot tub during a holiday boat cruise in NYC, you’ll be able to melt away the stress that has accumulated throughout the year. Another nice thing about our hot tub boat is that you’ll be in the moment, rather than constantly checking your phone. In other words, it’ll provide the ideal opportunity to truly connect with your closest friends. 

Our hot tubs are always professionally maintained just like they’re in a luxury hotel. This means that each hot tub is fully sanitized between guests, properly chlorinated, and always remains at the right levels. Furthermore, if it’s too hot or cold for your comfort, be sure to let us know. That’s part of the beauty of having variable-temperature hot tubs. We can always change them to make sure each group is at the perfect temperature! 

Sights You’ll See  

Our NYC holiday cruise enables you to do much more than soak in a hot tub. We understand how rare it is for people to get out on the water during the winter, especially in a hot tub. Therefore, we also provide the chance to look at some of the top-notch attractions in New York City. Our holiday boats will take you past: 

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

Although you can’t use your smartphone while you’re in the hot tub, you can ask one of our crew members to take a photo for you. How cool would it be to capture Lady Liberty in the background of a picture with you and all your friends? Another nice perk is that you’ll be able to relax in style as you see each landmark, instead of driving around the crowded streets of the city. 

What’s included in my holiday boat ride around NYC?  

  • A one-of-a-kind 90-minute hot tub boat tour of NYC
  • A separate changing room and private bathroom for your convenience 
  • Attentive crew members who are willing and ready to take care of your every need
  • Dedicated Bluetooth speakers allow each hot tub to have personalized music 
  • Complimentary ice, cups, water, and coolers, plus BYOB
  • Rental towels are available ($6 in advance, $8 day of) 
  • Year-round perfect comfort thanks to our variable hot tub thermostats 

Meet the Crew 

Our professional crew will take excellent care of you from the moment you step aboard our New York Christmas cruise or holiday boat tour. Your captain has earned the top civilian ranking as a United States Coast Guard Master Captain. In other words, he had to prove he had at least 720 days on a vessel before he was given this rank and started working for us. He’s also quite a master storyteller, and he’ll happily share stories about NYC with you and your friends. Prefer not to hear any tales? Just let one of our crew members know when you come on board. 

Additionally, we have dedicated deckhands on board. These qualified individuals take care of several duties on the boat, including catering to your every need. Be sure to ask one of them if you’d like a group photo. They also sanitize our hot tubs between each set of guests.
