All Day Beach Trips

Join us on some of our favorite trips! Gather your loved ones and escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a relaxing day at the beach.

Our journey begins as we head south, passing the iconic Verrazano Bridge and dropping anchor off the stunning Sandy Hook beach. As we unload our paddle boards and beach float, the sound of music fills the air. With the warm sun shining down upon us, we can't resist taking a leisurely paddle over to the sandy shore or simply lounging on the waves. It's incredible how far away the city feels.

As the day progresses and our stomachs begin to rumble, we fire up the BBQ and grill up a delicious lunch for the whole crew. Throughout the warm afternoon, our onboard ice maker keeps our drinks refreshingly cold. At around 3pm, we start our journey back to the city, cruising past Governor's Island and Lady Liberty before returning to Chelsea around 5pm, just in time for a beautiful evening.
