Out on the deck, enjoy the peace and quiet as the sounds of the city fade into the distance as the yacht takes you away. The winds blowing across the New York harbor ensure clouds don't spoil your view of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the city, while those same winds ruffle your hair sensuously. Experience the romance of an evening trip, see the stars with your greater field of view away from the city buildings, and seal your love with a kiss by the light of the moon.
