The Venue

The Lucille is an 80-foot party yacht departing from Skyport Marina at 2430 FDR Drive and East 23rd Street on the East River. Two decks provide a climate-controlled interior with a full-service bar and dance floor on the main level, plus an outdoor observation area on top for open-air skyline views. Accommodating up to 130 guests, the Lucille is one of the more intimate vessels in the fleet, which means less crowding at the bar and a tighter, more social atmosphere on the water. Regularly chartered for birthday parties, dinner cruises, and social gatherings throughout the year.
