POP Style TV visited twice. After a delightful Fall 2022 tour we had to go back again for a night of fine dining and gorgeous views.
The Bateaux New York Premier Plus Dinner Cruise sets sail from Chelsea Piers on the west side of Manhattan, offering guests an unparalleled vantage point from which to take in the city’s iconic landmarks. As you board the boat, you’ll be greeted with a glass of champagne and ushered to your table, while enjoying piano tunes. Seated in comfortable chairs with plenty of room to enjoy the view, we were lucky to have a window table so it certainly added to the experience.
People come to the boat to enjoy unbelievable experiences. From the scenery, live band, food and service. We create great memories. For lot of our tourists it is the highlight of the stay in NYC. Even New Yorkers that are born and raised here in NYC tell me they never saw the city so beautiful. Manhattan by night is magic.-Mr. Swan, restaurant manager
Once the boat sets sail, we were treated to a four-course meal prepared by the boat’s skilled chef. You can choose from a range of dishes that showcase the best of contemporary American cuisine. From fish to perfectly cooked meat dishes to decadent desserts, there’s something for everyone on the menu.
We tried delicious signature seafood chowder soup and beet and baby arugula salad to start. For our main course we had one of the best braised beed short ribs with Fresno pepper demi-glace for our main course. Our amazing server, Nichy made the night even more special. He kept our drinks flowing and even brought us an extra dessert, a decadent New York style cheese cake.
As the boat glides up Hudson to Intrepid museum then towards East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge and past the sparkling lights of the city skyline, making a last stop by the Statue of Liberty. It is a great photo op. You’ll be treated to an ever-changing panorama of one of the world’s most beautiful city. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed views from every table, you’ll be able to take it all in from the comfort of your seat.
Paula and João from Portugal
As the night was coming to an end, even a marriage proposal happened. A lovely couple from Portugal, Paula and João got engaged in front of our eyes. The whole restaurant cheered. It was a very happy moment we shared with them.
In addition to the stunning views and exceptional dining, the Bateaux New York Premier Plus Dinner Cruise also offers live entertainment to enhance the ambiance. You’ll enjoy a variety of music throughout the night to keep you in high spirits or to show your moves on the dance floor.
