Kentucky Derby Cruise

See the Kentucky Derby in New York Harbor aboard a Seastreak ferry! We will board in Highlands, NJ and head up to the city for incredible views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Downtown Manhattan. Inside the cabins we’ll play the races on all the vessel’s large TV monitors. Cheer on your favorite horses and jockeys while taking in the sites, listening to live music, enjoying tasty, passed appetizers, and sipping a mint julep.

To really set the scene, we encourage all attendees to dress for the event! We can’t wait to see your elaborate hats and seersucker suits. With everyone enjoying the live music entertainment, and holding the iconic Kentucky Derby drink, the mint julep, it will look like we’re at the races!

The cruise will be catered by Jacques! Passed appetizers will include mini tea sandwiches, charcuterie, bourbon chicken skewers, and more southern snacks! Don’t forget to head over to the full-service bar for specialty drinks and refreshments, including mint Juleps!

All Seastreak ferries are designed with passenger comfort and convenience in mind. Take advantage of the open-air top deck or choose a spacious seat in the temperature-controlled interior cabin. Our vessels are all equipped with state-of-the-art technology to make the ride as smooth as possible.
