Our Father’s Day Sightseeing Cruise follows our regular public sightseeing cruise schedule and is not a formal dinner cruise or private event. The focus of this experience is enjoying New York Harbor, the skyline, and famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Lower Manhattan from the water while spending quality time with family and friends.

Guests can relax onboard with unlimited drinks included throughout the cruise, including beer, wine, soda, and water. Beverage selections are based on availability and value pricing, so guests should not expect premium or name-brand alcohol selections. This is a casual sightseeing experience designed around the views, atmosphere, and overall New York Harbor experience rather than luxury dining or upscale beverage service.

Whether you’re celebrating Father’s Day with family, friends, or simply looking for a fun activity in NYC, this cruise offers a laid-back way to enjoy the city from the water while taking in some of New York’s most iconic sights.

The Father’s Day Sightseeing Cruise departs from Pier 36 at 299 South Street, located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side near the Two Bridges area. Pier 36 sits along the East River waterfront, close to the Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge.

The boat is docked behind the large Pier 36 building, so guests should walk toward the building first, then continue around toward the waterfront side to reach the boarding area.

The easiest subway option is the F train to East Broadway. From there, use the Rutgers Street/Madison Street exit, walk east on Rutgers Street toward the water, then turn left on South Street. Pier 36 is located just north of the Department of Sanitation building. This walk is usually about 9–11 minutes. 

Guests can also use Delancey Street–Essex Street for the F, J, M, or Z trains, but that walk is longer, usually about 14–16 minutes. Bus options nearby include the M14A-SBS, M15, and M22
