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 a private banquet separated by Plexiglass in the grand salon.
This cruise includes a 3-course prix fixe brunch served table-side with pastries, NY bagels, smoked salmon, quiche, french toast, sausage, Fall seasonal salad and assorted desserts and fruit. One Bloody Mary, mimosa, beer, wine, soda, juice, or sparkling wine is included with each ticket. Coffee and tea are also served throughout the cruise. Additional beverages available for purchase from the bar by credit card.

Peak fall foliage is not guaranteed. We have seen fall colors at their peak as early as mid-October and as late early December along the waterfront in the Palisades of New Jersey (the prime destination of our fall foliage excursions). Refunds due to ‘lack of color’, will not be honored. Cruising on the Hudson River, north by the Palisades, is a unique and interesting route and is the declared value of this excursion.
