Overview

Step aboard the yacht Manhattan or Manhattan II - both cozy, elegant, 1920s-style yachts and enjoy an autumnal brunch while cruising on the tree-lined, scenic Hudson River toward the Palisade Cliffs, one of New York's most dramatic geological features. Enjoy views along the Upper West Side of Manhattan as the boat cruises north. Admire the fall leaves in all their splendor (nature permitting) through the boat's heated, main observation cabin with wrap-around windows, or from the open bow. Each party is assigned comfortable seating in the grand salon.

This cruise includes a 3-course prix fixe brunch served in a hybrid fashion of both family-style and buffet with pastries, NY bagels, smoked salmon, frittata, a premium breakfast meat, Fall seasonal salad and assorted desserts and fruit.
