See the fireworks--and make some of your own--with an unforgettable 4th of July cruise from Classic Harbor Line.

There's no better way to see Grucci's pyrotechnic display above Manhattan than from the water. Join the day's harbor revelry in either a classic schooner or an elegant '20s inspired luxury yacht. Depart Chelsea Piers in the evening and sail around New York for 2-1/2 hours, enjoying spectacular panoramic views of the skyline, bridges, and, of course, the fireworks.

You have three first-class ships to choose from. The Adirondack is an 80-foot pilot schooner with handsome teak decks, mahogany trim, and seating for 49. It's one of the fastest sailing ships in the harbor, winning the Mayor's Cup twice. The Imagine is her sister ship, and the newest in the fleet. The Manhattan is a gorgeous yacht with retro styling, and can accommodate up to 100 guests on its spacious open deck and in its glass-enclosed observatory. All the vessels are helmed by friendly, experienced crews. The cost is $220 per person (plus gratuity), and includes complimentary beer, wine, and champagne plus hors d'oeuvres and dessert.

You don't have to limit your cruise to the 4th. Classic Harbor Line offers regular excursions throughout the year, including a romantic City Lights Sail and a Sunset Cruise.
