Thankfully, Mother Nature has decided to cooperate on Saturday,
with temperatures in the mid-70s and sunny skies. Seriously, what says,
“Hello Summer ’18!” more than partying on a yacht fully-stocked with an
open tequila bar by Santera Tequila, an open beer bar by our uptown
friends at The Bronx Beer Hall, and complimentary finger foods &
hors d’oeuvres by our good ol’ pals over at FoodKick?! Absolutely
zilch. Nothing. Nada.
And if you need a refresher on what’s exactly included in the
ticket price, check out the details on the menu above.
The party takes off from the FDR Drive at East 23rd Street.
Boarding starts at 7:30 PM, and as you may know, boats don’t wait
around for anyone, so make sure you’re there because we’re leaving at 8
PM sharp and will be back dockside by 10:30 PM.
Grab your tickets before we sell out here!
