Cruise north from Chelsea Piers aboard a classic yacht for Manhattan views and a chance to admire fall colors along the Hudson River.

About this tour

See Manhattan from the water, then follow the Hudson north toward the Palisades on a fall foliage cruise aboard Yacht Full Moon, an elegant 1950s-style yacht. This 150-minute New York Fall Foliage Yacht Cruise pairs city views with a chance to admire autumn color along the river.

Departing from Pier 62 at Chelsea Piers, the yacht heads north as Manhattan recedes behind you. Watch the shoreline unfold from the covered viewing area or step out to the open bow for fresh air and unobstructed views. The Palisades are the cruise’s prime foliage destination, though the timing and intensity of fall colors vary from year to year. One complimentary beverage is included, and additional drinks are available for purchase by credit card.

Arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in, and bring a photo ID that matches your reservation. Warm layers are a good idea for time on deck. Settle in for a relaxed Hudson River outing and enjoy New York’s waterfront from a fresh perspective on this New York Fall Foliage Yacht Cruise.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.50 from 4 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 6.9.
