This cruise often sells out. If it is not available on the date you are seeking, consider the Fall Foliage Sails aboard Adirondack or Adirondack III or our Fall Foliage cruises on Yacht Kingston or Yacht Full Moon!
Peak fall foliage is not guaranteed. We have seen fall colors at their peak as early as mid-October and as late early December along the waterfront in the Palisades of New Jersey (the prime destination of our fall foliage excursions). Refunds due to ‘lack of color’, will not be honored. Cruising on the Hudson River, north by the Palisades, is a unique and interesting route and is the declared value of this excursion.
