Manhattan Harbor Cocoa and Carols Holiday Cruise

May i bring food aboard?

Yes. Due to Covid-19 restrictions we only allow light snacks.  This is to keep you and our crew safe.  

May i bring alcohol aboard?

No.  It is unlawful to bring alcohol aboard. 

Is the boat safe?

Yes. Each boat in the fleet is a U.S. Coast-Guard Certified vessel meaning that all related federal regulations are fully adhered to, including having the correct safety equipment and maintaining safety-training for the captains and crew.  

Am i likely to get sea-sick?

It is uncommon for our guests to experience sea sickness, though those who are prone to it are advised to consider preventative measures of their choosing. (i.e sea sickness compression wrist bands, which are available for purchase at check-in)

What is the seating like?

Seating styles vary across the fleet.  On all boats there is outdoor seating available.  

On the motor boats, indoor seating in covered areas is also available.  

The Manhattans have large enclosed climate-controlled spaces for year-round comfort.  This interior seating is on cushioned benches that wrap around tables.  Guests tend to share tables with other guests.  It is a very social seating style. Additionally, on some events, seating on the Manhattans is assigned.  In these cases guests are asked if there are any other bookings with whom they would like to be seated.  

May i smoke aboard?

None of the boats in the Classic Harbor Line fleet are defined as ‘accessible’ by ADA guidelines, nor are the boats required to be due to their low capacity rating.  However, we have established our boarding practices in an as safe and reasonable fashion as possible to accommodate as many guests as possible.  

Is there a bathroom?

Yes.  Each of our boats has a bathroom.

Is there parking and how much is it?

Yes.  Each of our boats is a U.S. Coast Guard certified passenger vessel and each operates with the required number of life jackets. Each life jacket is a ‘Type 1’ life jacket.  They are bright orange, rigid life jackets that are designed for emergency use and are designed to keep your head afloat at sea.  For the most part, they are not comfortable to wear while sitting on a boat.  The life jackets for children are also ‘Type 1’ life jackets.  If you would like to comfortably wear a life jacket or have one for a child to wear while cruising or sailing with us, we suggest bringing your own.
