Cruise the Hudson toward the Palisades on a 1920s-style yacht, with a three-course brunch and autumn views from cabin or open bow.
About this tour
Settle into a 1920s-style yacht for a New York City Fall Foliage Brunch Cruise along the Hudson River. With a three-course brunch and sweeping waterfront views, this 150-minute outing pairs seasonal flavors with a scenic ride toward the Palisades Cliffs.
Your table is assigned to your party in the yacht’s grand salon. Brunch is served in a mix of family-style and buffet courses, with pastries, New York bagels, smoked salmon, frittata, breakfast meat, seasonal salad, fruit, and desserts. As the boat heads north, watch the Upper West Side recede and look for autumn color along the Palisades. Take in the scenery from the heated observation cabin, framed by wraparound windows, or step out to the open bow. One alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage is included.
Foliage depends on the season and is not guaranteed, but the Hudson River route offers a distinctive perspective on the city and its dramatic waterfront. Board at Pier 62, Chelsea Piers, and enjoy a New York City Fall Foliage Brunch Cruise with brunch, fresh air, and memorable river views.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.56 from 25 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 6.4.
