Brooklyn Skyline Cruises

Experience New York Harbor Differently

Skyline views, Statue of Liberty photo opportunities, complimentary drinks, and departures from the Lower East Side.

A Different Starting Point for Exploring NYC

Brooklyn Skyline Cruises was created to offer a more relaxed and modern way to experience New York Harbor. Our cruises combine skyline sightseeing, waterfront landmarks, outdoor viewing areas, and comfortable onboard spaces designed for both visitors and locals.

Departing from Pier 36 on the Lower East Side places guests close to some of Manhattan’s most visited neighborhoods including Chinatown, the Lower East Side, SoHo, Little Italy, and Brooklyn Bridge access points.

Instead of beginning your experience in the crowded Midtown tourist areas, guests can enjoy a departure point surrounded by authentic New York neighborhoods, local restaurants, waterfront views, and easier downtown access.
