    The free cruise is a short ride up the river past Intrepid and back. Short but still a novelty and good views from the top deck. Bring sunscreen!

    The calamari taste like rubber bands, the truffle fries = frozen French fries with grated parmesan cheese (from a jar) sprinkled on top, the fish tacos, the buffalo wings & the sangria were just mehhh

    Great day! Worth the tickets, skip the spicy crab/corn chowder. Lobster rolls are great classic, truffle, fish and chips, mini corn dogs, truffle Parmesan fries were good also...

    Lobster rolls taste better when paired with manhattans skyline views. Time your visit right - sails are free (3, 5, 7 and 9 PM on wkns) what are you waiting for? Get on this lobster roll boat!

    No wait on wkday. Svc, drinks, & food were good. Lobster rolls, Medium shrimp & Jonah crab claws are fresh & must-try's! Oysters-Malpeque & Wellfleet-only ok. Free Hudson River 1/3-loop boat ride.

    The avocado dressing on the Lobster Cobb is great. Try the Batten Down the Hatches cocktail if you like rum punch. The bartender also recommended the Fog on the Hudson and Last Port of Call.

    Go early for A deck seating, relax with drink; runners bring food order. Party atmosphere; passengers & crew very friendly. Awesome raw bar platter. Cape Cod escape on the Hudson. Repeat as needed.

    Grab your picnic table and be ready to camp out for the day. Buckets of beer, awesome seafood towers, and delicious lobster rolls are served while you cruise out into the Hudson.

    Fun Friday night alternative to your indoor midtown happy hour. Sure it's a little pricier but hey they don't charge a cover for the Hudson River cruise

    The lobster roll comes with cole slaw and chips, but fries and corn on the cob make great additions to your meal.

    Blandest lobster roll I've ever had! No Old Bay seasoning, that's criminal. I would do this again for the experience and beautiful views from the Hudson.

    The boat ride was awesome. Costs $0 to get on. The lobster roll...good, but Red Hook Lobster Pound is much better. Fresh shrimp, clams etc.

    USED TO luv Svc, drinks & food. Lobster rolls & drinks were just ok. Clam chowder was cold-worst ever! Oysters not fresh! No HH schdl on board! Ask B4hand: free ONLY IF you get off B4 boat ride starts

    No fee to board the boat and drinks are reasonable if you get a bucket to share. This place definitely tops frying pan.

    Slow as hell service, middling food, the fact that I was on a boat was an experience but in general the cocktails are small/overpriced and the boat itself rocks way too much for a happy day...
