About the party

The Annual Ugly Sweater 2026 Boatride Christmas Party sails on the Nautical Empress, boarding at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Brooklyn, on Sunday, December 6. The listing runs it from 4 PM to 8 PM, an afternoon into early evening holiday party on the water.

What to expect

A Christmas boat party built around ugly sweaters and holiday outfits, with music, entertainment and dancing promised on board. The listing says DJs are playing but gives no names. My take: this suits a group that wants an early, festive Sunday out in their worst sweaters rather than a late club night.

Music and lineup

The listing promises DJs and nonstop dancing but names no DJ and no genre. Set times are not published.

The age limit is not stated on the listing. Ugly sweaters are the theme; a required dress code is not stated. Bar, coat check and accessibility on board are not confirmed.
