Barbecued hot dogs and hamburgers … ice-cold beverages … fireworks … horseshoes … time with friends and family … beautiful weather … What can be better than celebrating our country’s independence in the comfort of your own backyard? How about taking a luxurious cruise around New York Harbor, the Hudson River or other amazing areas in New York-while leaving all the preparation and work to someone else?

Whether you want to see the East River, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Chelsea Piers, South Street Seaport, Governor’s Island or other famous landmarks, an all-inclusive tour is the way to go. Dance the day away with the best music from renowned DJs, enjoy food catered by New York’s finest caterers, and kick back and sip drinks at an open bar. Do those storm clouds look threatening? No worries-enclosed boats protect against any unexpected weather conditions.

You’re already taking in all the sights of the Big Apple anyway, whether you’re visiting Central Park, Times Square or any of the city’s amazing museums-or even attending the Late Show with David Letterman. Why not check out the greatest views from the water in addition to the familiar spots on land?
