Horizon’s Edge Yacht July 4th Fireworks Cruise
Event Description
Horizon's Edge is the newest mega-yacht on the harbor, and on July 4th she sails out of Pier 81 with three separate event spaces, each with its own deck, bar, dance floor, and LED lighting. This year marks America's 250th birthday and the 50th anniversary of the Macy's fireworks show, and you'll have a reserved seat for all of it. Premium open bar, a dinner buffet, and a live DJ keeping the energy moving across all three levels. When you need air, the outdoor Sky Deck is waiting. If you've done the smaller boat thing before and want something that actually feels like an upgrade, this is it.
