What You'll Get
The idea for the paddleboat came from Mark Twain, who was inspired by watching beavers batting their tails in the river to maim unsuspecting salmon.

The Paddlewheel Queen, which departs from Skyport Marina, is a three-level charter boat that offers three-hour sunset cruises around New York Harbor. The boat holds up to 400 revelers with ample room to mingle and party on either of the two enclosed decks or on the third level, which provides a gorgeous sunset view of the skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the acrobatic trolls who live under Brooklyn Bridge. With a built-in sound system, a DJ spinning dance music, a cash bar, and appetizers making the rounds, The Paddlewheel Queen has the vibe of a downtown club that has to occasionally steer around manatees.
The Paddlewheel Queen’s popular Late-Night Dance Cruise floats out to sea at 11:45 p.m., just when Midtown paddleboats are sitting down to dinner. The cruise features complimentary small bites, DJs playing three decades worth of pulsing beats, and fashionable people dressed in fashionable attire, such as hats made out of Felicity Huffman headshots and invisible shoes.
