Perfect sunset cruise touring around the Battery! Captain John was so fun and got our group going with games, good music, and lots of great pics! Will definitely be back for more tours.

My friends and I opted to do a public brew-barge boat for a friend's bachelorette party. Despite the fact that we had to share the boat with another party, we had an amazing time. Thomas and Ian were exceptional in making sure we felt safe, had space to store our drinks in the cooler, and (most importantly) had a blast! Our only complaint is that we didn't want the ride to end. The guys gave us recommendations on where to go next so the party didn't have to stop. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and we had the best time.

The trip itself was fun. However, I have to agree with a similar review in saying that I was really taken aback by being solicited at the beginning and end of the trip, after having already paid HUNDREDS of dollars in automatic gratuity when we booked. I was told that the company takes part of the gratuity, and then part goes to taxes. When I questioned the part about the company taking part of the gratuity, he walked back on his statement and mentioned about how part goes to taxes. So he has basically just asking for tax free money.
On a similar note, if you book the whole boat, by the time his gratuity is included, it is about $1000. The gratuity is the same whether you have four, six, ten, or 18 people on board, which we didn’t realize at first and definitely would have made us pause before we booked a private tour if we had realized it. You’re better off taking your chances on a non-private tour unless you are close to the max capacity.

This was the highlight of our girls 40th birthday trip! The guys did a fantastic job of keeping the music flowing and helping us make a memorable trip. We loved the brew barge and wouldn't hesitate to book another outing the next time I'm in town.

Our ride with Saltwater Cycle was one of the highlights of my bachelorette trip! We were treated to 3 dolphins swimming near our boat (captured in photo) and the whole group was so excited. It’s BYOB, so we were able to bring our own seltzers to enjoy. I would highly recommend this if you’re traveling with a group!

Do you sail rain or shine? Is there a minimum number of guests needed in order for the sailing to proceed?

Thanks for the question. We do not have restrooms on the boat but we have restrooms at the marina. We also have the opportunity to make a stop half way through the tour for people to hop off and use the restrooms if necessary. Hope to see you and your friends on the boat soon. Cheers!
