Celebrate July 4th aboard a New York yacht cruise with a live DJ, buffet, open bar, skyline views, and Macy’s fireworks from the water.

About this tour

Celebrate Independence Day on the water aboard a New York July 4th fireworks yacht cruise, with the city’s skyline as your backdrop. Step aboard Hornblower Infinity at Pier 61 for an evening of music, dancing, buffet dining, and an open bar, then watch for Macy’s fireworks from the river.

The scheduled event boards at 5:30 PM, departs at 7:00 PM, and returns at 10:30 PM on July 4, 2026. A live DJ sets the mood across indoor dance floors and an outdoor deck, while the buffet offers salads, pasta, chicken, fish, carved sirloin, sides, and seasonal desserts. The premium open bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Menus and cruise itineraries can change, and the fireworks display depends on local authorities and weather.

Expect large crowds, so arrive early. This is a nightlife event rather than a dining-focused cruise; consider eating beforehand if you want a complete dinner. Book your New York July 4th fireworks yacht cruise for an evening of city views, music, and holiday celebration on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.80 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 33% in New York City means it ranks in the top 33% of tours in New York City by this score.
