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!
Ronda YvetteJuly 22, 2016
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
Lynn Bednar-RandoMay 12, 2019
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...

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.

Eat: lobster rolls, lobster tacos and lobster salad. Drink: bloody mary. Do: look out at the scenic views and forget you're in NYC for a little while.
Shirley ZafirauAugust 1, 2014
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.
Ashley RoseAugust 11, 2015
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
Amanda SchneiderAugust 10, 2014
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.
Annie TolochinskiJune 25, 2015
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!
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 16, 2016
The Bitches say: A. We loved the fresh seafood and brunch with a view. This is a unique dining experience that’s equal parts memorable and fun. Read more

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.
Nneka NzekwuJuly 5, 2015
Take advantage of the free boat ride. It's beautiful. I had the best lobster here. Definitely coming back for their happy hour!
Abbie WMay 16, 2014
UD: Outside deck overlooking the water. Lobster poached in butter or with yuzu aioli also a massive raw bar, jalapeño cornbread. Beers from Maine, blue curaçao margaritas.
ZenFoodsterSeptember 11, 2017
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
Alan YouAugust 18, 2014
The lobster roll comes with cole slaw and chips, but fries and corn on the cob make great additions to your meal.
Indulgent EatsJune 13, 2016
Take in all the #VIEWS onboard this floating seafood restaurant, which sails up and down the Hudson River while serving up solid lobster rolls and raw bar items.
PureWowJune 2, 2016
August 31st: Congrats! You officially made the most of your summer. To celebrate, set sail on a North River Lobster Company cruise. You deserve all the lobster rolls. Read more
melissa HochmanSeptember 19, 2014
BEST PLACE EVER wish I knew about it earlier this summer. Great DJ, solid menu and cocktail/beer list. Great for groups or a date
LisaJuly 9, 2016
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.
KellyJuly 22, 2014
Great fish tacos and lobster rolls, and nice rosé sangria. Cruise is timed just right so you don't feel trapped at sea. Def recommend!
PureWowJune 9, 2014
Boat sails four times a day, best to try during the weekdays, to "test the waters" (pun intended). Read more
Theresa RoldanAugust 10, 2015
Upper deck is where you want to be! We had oysters, lobster tacos, and fish tacos. It was all top quality and delicious
Kaileigh WilsonAugust 31, 2014
Lobster roll is AMAZING and the raw bar is great! It's free admission and an open bar! 🍹
Angelina ZeppieriJuly 13, 2016
Love this concept! Food and drinks and a sail around Manhattan, can't beat that.
Daniel McDonoughAugust 19, 2016
Haven't had enough lobster rolls to compare but tasted decent. fries were good. boat ride was enjoyable. was rented out for company outing.
Katya PugachevaJune 5, 2014
45-minute free cruises with lots of seafood options on board, including raw bar. Cruises leave at 12, 3, 6 and 9 pm.
Nakita AAugust 10, 2014
Now this was very very very cool. The food was good. It's chill and the staff is nice. So happy this is in NYC.
Natalie VJuly 26, 2016
No fee to board the boat and drinks are reasonable if you get a bucket to share. This place definitely tops frying pan.
Ally FuraiAugust 9, 2014
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.
Damian BayonaJuly 11, 2016
Oysters are the real stand outs. Good value all around. Sails up to 72nd st and back in about 45 minutes.
NYC Brunch BabesJuly 12, 2014
Lobster roll and fish tacos! Delicious!! Can't wait to go back!
YvahnJuly 17, 2014
Get there before 6pm Wed - Sun or else there's an hr+ wait
Sissy VanDykeJuly 14, 2015
This is such a wonderful alternative to a dinner cruise. Great views, great cruise, and friendly servers.
Baramee ChindavongAugust 8, 2014
Don't order food...you may never get it. Great concept and view if you can get a seat or place in the top floor.
Casey NeistatAugust 7, 2014
kinda fun. I felt old. but generally a good time. get a lobster not the Cobb salad
Abbie WMay 16, 2014
UD: Free short cruises around the Hudson. Four times a day, it’ll weigh anchor and float out for 45 minutes before returning to shore.
Caitlyn FowlesSeptember 7, 2014
Awesome alternative to the frying pan! Get the shrimp Po boy, delish!
Stephanie DeDeckerSeptember 12, 2016
Enjoy the free cruise! Pairs perfectly with wine and views of the Hudson!
Larry LaBurrJune 15, 2015
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...
Michael HOctober 27, 2015
Lobster role and a free cruise. Don't bother with the mason glass, your paying for it.
SherrySeptember 3, 2016
Food was very tasty. Bartender was helpful and informative. Probably what you'd expect from a fishing boat that serves seafood.
Venkatesh KondamSettyMay 5, 2015

J PDecember 31, 2015
Make sure you are there when the boat sails. Great views.
Krissy GJuly 4, 2015
The views and ambiance are a constant stimulation. However, be very aware that you can possibly wait over an hour for mediocre food.
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015
There's lobster, jalapeno cornbread, buckets of beer, margaritas. Read more

Skip the whole (super-small) lobsters. Love the refreshing Anchors Aweigh cocktail.
