July 4th on Cornucopia Princess Yacht Fireworks View

Event Description

The Cornucopia Princess sails out of Pier 40 in the West Village, which is already a better starting point than most July 4th plans. At 130 feet with three decks and room for 400 guests, it's a more manageable size than the mega-yachts, which means shorter lines at the bar and you can actually find your friends. Reserved seating for every ticket, a full dinner buffet, premium open bar, and a live DJ. Not too big, not too cramped, and you're boarding in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. Sometimes the right boat is the one that just gets everything right.

  • Live View of Macy's World-Famous NYC 4th of July Fireworks Show
  • Reserved Seating for the duration of the event
  • Premium Open Bar (w/ alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage options)
  • All-American BBQ Buffet

  • Live DJ w/ Dance Floor

The Venue

The Cornucopia Princess is a spacious yacht operated by Cornucopia Cruise Line, based at Pier 40 in Hudson River Park at the foot of Houston Street in the West Village. The ship features three decks, each with its own atmosphere and plenty of room to move between dining, dancing, and open-air viewing. With multiple bars, a dedicated dance floor, and a live DJ setup, it handles both family gatherings and late-night energy without one stepping on the other. Pier 40 has a paid parking garage on site, and the pier is accessible from the 1 train at Houston St or the A/C/E at Spring St.
