Star of Palm Beach

STAY AWAY… STAY AWAY… STAY AWAY form this organization as well as anything affiliated with them. There was NO CRUISE and they have been trying to buy people off with 40% refund. My wife and I NEVER GOT ON THE BOAT. We decided to leave at 8 PM and they still hadn’t boarded! Then they never left the dock. 40%? NO WAY. Contact your bank

I could not hate July 4^th on this boat more! Too long, not enough a/​c, and most importantly, the view of the fireworks is horrible! They do not have an open deck on the top, which meant the boat had to jostle from left to right constantly so the both side could get views, from out dirty windows! The price was right (85 plus tax) but for something I thought was going to be a memorable experience, turned out to be 6 hours of sitting on something akin to a humid subway, praying we could get back to shore soon…
I promise you will not like this boat for you July 4^th festivities, pay more and look elsewhere!

Ugh. I was SO disappointed in the 4^th of July cruise. The second my boyfriend and I got on, we considered stepping right back off, and forfeiting the almost $ 200 we spent. The boat reminded me of a run down, damp basement. Unless you had paid extra for a table, you probably couldn’t find a place to sit. The food smelled terrible, and I didn’t even try to eat it because I was afraid it would make me sick. Looking at friend’s plate, it looked like they served some ugly grey-​colored chicken, rice, and some wilted salad, along with a tiny tiny piece of brownie for desert. The only thing that made everything a little bit better was the 3 hour open bar — although I could have bought even more drinks onshore at a decent bar for what we paid. Like Monique, I also expected a much better view of the fireworks, but gave up on enjoying them pretty quickly. My boyfriend and I just had to laugh at it, get as drunk as possible, and make the best of it!
Although getting drunk with our friends made it all okay in the end, I would not recommend a ride on this boat to anyone, for any price.

I’ve been to this Pier/​on this boat twice for 2 separate boat parties.
Cash only at the bars, bathroom downstairs (pretty clean).
The boat itself is a little bit rundown, but I definitely had fun at both parties. The music was good (electronic music DJs were playing). The boat circles around Manhattan for hours, and returns back at the destinated time.
Definitely great fun for the hot summer days.
