Conveniently located in Kingston. Walked up on a Sunday morning and purchased a ticket. Boat was more than half empty so, no crowd to contend with. A 2 hour cruise with historical narration. Past two of the historic lighthouses and a number of estates. A cool breeze coming off the water. Was lucky to find a chair (as opposed to bench) on the top deck next to the railing and just under the overhead canopy on the right side of the deck. On the return, the shade disappeared so moved to one of the benches directly under the canopy. Very comfortable. Right length of time. Highly recommended.

Perfect weather on our treasured Hudson River! The ship pulls away from the dock and travels out to a panoramic view of the Hudson River Valley. The captain narrated our cruise down towards Poughkeepsie pointing out the historic homes and monasteries. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and sun taking lots of beautiful photos.
