About

Here in Jamaica Bay we are lucky to have largely unobstructed views of the rising full moon.

When the moon is full, it rises in the early evening, coinciding with the setting sun, thereby giving us the opportunity to cast off very near sunset hour.

More info

  • Feel free to bring food and drinks. Alcohol is fine as well.
  • The boat lacks a head (toilet), so bathroom breaks are tricky. Wine & Liquor are best, beer not so much.
  • Binoculars and Bluetooth speaker aboard for passenger use
  • Cooler and ice available upon request.
