I just got off my second cruise with Captain Mary Pat-had another awesome trip! She’s extremely knowledgable of the area and gave us lots of info about local history and told us about some of the large riverfront mansions which dot the water from Peekskill to West Point. Highly recommend taking the cruise! First time was 3hrs with my husband. This time was with my 2&5 yr old granddaughters and just for 1 hr. Perfect for them-and us. Go & have a great time!

I purchased a ride for 2 on the 11am cruise using Groupon and I’m glad I did. I went with my boyfriend and we sat to the rear of the boat. The ride is smooth. The crew is extremely friendly and helpful. The views are amazing and you even learn a bit of history. There’s soda beer wine and snacks to purchase and you can bring your own food. The only con is us being a young couple in our twenties, most all the other riders were in there 40’s and older. Other than that it was pretty great and I will probably do the sunset cruise next.

I finally was able to get my family to go on this boat with me which Iv’e been wanting to do since I saw it always dock at the riverfront years ago. I took my family and Nan on the boat last night for my parent’s anniversary. Of course it just happened to be the first evening in October that managed to drop down to 50 or below but we stuck it out! I bought the amazon local deal back in May or June and sadly it would have been much nicer had we used it in Aug or Sept but hey, it is what it is. The captain Mary Pat is amazing and made us feel safe and very comfortable and even gave some commentary about the river and surrounding Peekskill, Bear Mountain, Iona Island– plus! It was very windy and since it was a chilly night already the breeze coming off the water made it feel like it dropped another ten degrees. She took the boat south as if we were going towards the city but just went in a wide turn to take us up toward bear mountain and under the bridge by Manitou. On board, you get a complimentary drink of hot chocolate or cider and they also have soda, water, beer wine and chips for sale if you didn’t bring anything.(You can bring your own snack and non-alc drinks as well.) The boat isn’t very large but big enough to hold around 30 – 40 ppl and it was about half full. She offered blankets to everyone too which was a great touch. I would say my only recommendation would be to get small heaters and are safe around water(if thats possible) and children(don’t get too hot) and maybe put them on the floor so that your feet could try and keep warm. Otherwise besides being a bit chilled it was a great hour and a half boat tour and next year I would definitely come back with friends during the summer to experience a nice sunset or even do an afternoon 3 hour day tour :) Oh and a side note to parents who think its okay to let your three wild young boys run amuck on the boat while you ignore them… I’m throwing any rogue, irritating kids overboard next time. It’s not cool to the captain, crew or passengers that irresponsible parents can’t keep their children under wraps. I would def approve if the Captain only let kids 10 and over on board. One vote from me!
