Step by Step

You’ll pass under the 18 bridges and be able to admire New York City’s landmarks like never before.

In this way, you’ll see landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge, and learn all about them thanks to the commentary provided by a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Throughout the trip, they’ll explain New York’s architectural features, the reasons behind its layout, its parks and its infrastructure.

The 1920s-style cruise makes for a most comfortable journey whilst making you feel like a true New Yorker. You’ll be assigned a table ( shared or private, depending on your choice when booking) on an enclosed, air-conditioned deck from where you can listen to the commentary and take in the scenery in full detail. However, if you’re someone who prefers to feel the breeze, you can also step out and wander around the deck.

Every guest on the tour is offered a complimentary drink. You can choose between wine, champagne or beer, and a light snack to tide you over during your tour.

Without a doubt, this is the perfect plan for anyone who wants to learn about and understand the city’s layout and its urban development from an expert in the field. What’s more, thanks to the yacht tour, you can explore the whole city and admire its monuments without having to walk for hours – simply sit back and enjoy the trip.
