I reached out to the owner, Frank, via yelp and he was very responsive from the beginning. He was happy to answer all my questions and even gave me a tour of the boat. We ended up hosting a company outing for a group of 20 and the feedback was great. The food, the crew, and the boat's history made for a memorable cruise around the harbor. The captain got us really close to the Statue of Liberty which made for some great photos. The group loved it so much that we are considering doing it again next summer. Thanks, Frank and staff!

What a wonderful experience aboard to Bateaux New York! I…read morecannot suggest this dinner cruise enough, because who doesn't need an excellent excuse to put on a gown and see some views, listen to some jazz, and eat delicious food! **Food: We did the three course meal I selected the cauliflower and leek chowder, the Cioppino, and the Spanish style cheese cake. The cauliflower and leek chowder is the perfect beginning, light and full of flavor- which we ate along with a bread and herbed butter. The cioppino had the perfect portion of shrimp, mussels, and scallops with the squid ink linguini. They load it up with a flavor fueled tomato sauce. I'd never had this type of cheese cake before, but I will 10/10 have again, not too sweet and the perfect small portion- to finish off our meal. I sipped on French 75s which were lemony and fresh; and one of the on board specials (something about on the Hudson)- which was equally as delicious. **Service: Upon arriving to the boat- we were offered a helpful hand to get from land to sea- by a very happy friendly gentlemen. We were greeted by "Swan" who was running the floor with grace and precision; and bright smile and handshake through out. Our waitress Miss J, was sweet as pie and very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu (thank you for helping me get the names right!) The crew as a whole truly made for a divine experience- with their delight at our delight. **Ambience: Magical. From the views, to the high end decor, the low lighting, and jazz. This is perfect for a nice date, to catch up with friends, to drag your parents from the Midwest to the city to see the statue in a classy way, and more. I would like to note, later in the cruise they went from jazz to covers of pop songs-- which caught me off guard, because of the ambience they set up- but there were certainly people aboard that enjoyed them, however. 5/5 I'd most certainly be overjoyed to experience this again!

The lady at the Cobra roller coaster decided to cut one lap from the ride when it was our turn to go... I guess she couldn't wait to get lunch. I addressed this and of course she remained quiet and gave me the look. I mean... really? You look around and all you see are young employees in a bad mood (except for the lady at the ticket booth... she was friendly) and half of the rides kept closed (or simply unattended). Also, there are no restrooms! I'd recommend to give a look inside before committing to pay anything. Do yourself a favor and visit the nearby Queens Zoo, which is a great little gem.

RE:9-6-23 Long Island Boat Rental, Port Washington NY Great…read morepeople. Very accommodating. Parking close to boat dock a PLUS , especially on a super-hot and muggy morning. Again, very accommodatable, wagons to move your bundles from parking lot to your boat. We rented 21foot Grady white, great hull, 4foot nose into waves, not a splash over the gunnel, no wind, flat day on the Sound, bow riders stayed dry and no pounding! We had four people but just as good for six. 200HP Yamaha POWER PLANT. THIS PUPPY DINT MISS A HEATBEAT! Took us a couple of times to figure out the power of this engine as with my skier getting up. Lot of torque just as your coming out of the water and then power up pulls the reigns out of your hands. Gotta go slow at that point on the throttle. All a learning experience to us as we have been boating fora couple of years. Thank you, Long Island Boat Rentals. Craig
