About the party

Enjoy New Years presents A Midnight Kiss, a New Year's Eve fireworks cruise aboard the Jewel Yacht, boarding at Skyport Marina on the FDR Drive in Manhattan on Thursday, December 31. Boarding starts at 8:30 PM, the yacht leaves at 9 PM and returns at 1 AM.

What to expect

A two-level party yacht for more than 300 guests, with an open-air deck and a climate-controlled interior. The night includes a three-hour open bar from 9 PM to midnight, a dinner buffet at the start, party favors and a champagne toast, and the route runs down the East Side past the bridges, the Financial District and the Statue of Liberty. The dress code is smart casual, with no athletic wear or ripped denim. My take: this suits a group that wants a DJ and dancing on the water with a broad mix of music.

Music and lineup

NYC DJs play a mix of hip hop, Latin, house and EDM, and Top 40, per the listing's FAQ. No DJ is named, and set times are not published.
