It was a wonderful experience, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves even staff and the DJ was awesome !!!🎉 #goodtimes #fun #memories!!!

Great hospitality and views

Rosela_D, Mar 2024

Experienced the Bateaux bottomless mimosa cruise for my moms birthday. Julia was our waitress and she was very attentive and kind throughout our experience. Probably our favorite “to do” on our New York agenda! Don’t hesitate to book this cruise, you’ll get brunch, dessert, bottomless mimosas, great hospitality, and a history lesson on all the spots you see on the way through the Hudson River.

Le Bateaux Brunch Cruise

Bernadette_M, Mar 2024

An awesome day out on the Le Bateaux Brunch Cruise for a friend’s special birthday! From the beautiful glass enclosed boat, to the friendly staff, amazing food/drink, music, narration, NYC Skyline and incredible March weather it was a fantastic day! Shoutout to Swan and Thomas our server for being oh so kind to us! Run, don’t walk to book this memorable cruise. You won’t be disappointed!

Lovely brunch for a wet Sunday

ann_t, Dec 2023

Staff were wonderful and food and drink great. Really enjoyed it and the music was very good too. Great way to spend a rainy Sunday

Nice brunch on a sunny day!

Nicole_S, Nov 2023

Really nice boat ride, with good food and nice service personnel. The only recommendation is to provide more information on the sights. I had to ask various staff members about the different buildings and bridges that we were passing during the trip. The Statue of Liberty is obvious, but not the Brooklyn bridge or Empire State Building. It was still a nice trip.

Great day out

LAURENT_Z, Oct 2023

Linda_A, Dec 2022

Wow! This was amazing! Great food, including gluten free options, unlimited mimosas that were topped up regularly and stunning views. The staff were lovely and the DJ was informative and fun. And the views of The Statue of Liberty...wow! Honestly I loved this and would highly recommend.

Malika_S, Jun 2022

A truly fancy lunch with delish bottomless mimosas! Loved going out on the deck to see the outside, but be prepared for the wind if you do so! Otherwise everything else was in a glass indoor area, so you could see everything. My favorite part was going directly under the brooklyn bridge and other bridges as well. 10/10 would do again :).

Truly a trip highlight!

Kathryn_B, Jun 2022

I didn't know what to expect when I booked this, my friend suggested it. It was FANTASTIC!!! Very easy to find and get to. Everyone we came in contact with was so kind, and helpful! Our server Randy was just the best! Our glasses were never empty and there was always a smile on his face- he even told us when the best time would be for pictures outside and took them too! He's a gem! We also met Swan, what a doll! He and Randy moved our table to one by a window and made us feel extra special. The food was really good as well, I can only imagine what this would be like at night with all the lights of the city. the boat was huge and it felt very safe. Book this event, you will not be disappointed! Also- we had a show to catch right after and we were cutting it close, but never fear, Randy made sure to come get us so we could get off the boat first and we made it. This was definitely a highlight of the trip and we're still talking about it! We will most definitely come back and do the dinner cruise!!! Thank you Randy and Swan!!!

Disappointed but wonderful views

kosny, May 2022

We have been very disappointed by the service, a bad organization and coordination, the meal was bland and not plentiful. I came 8 years ago for a very pleasant diner and I wanted to renew the experience for a brunch during the Memorial weekend but it was a real fiasco. However, the multiple views of Manhattan Skyline were absolutely awesome.

A must to do!

Ruth_N, Mar 2022

Food and mimosas were delicious, I love and enjoy the experience! Music was amazing too, Staff was kind Thanks
