I find it to be a very nice way to celebrate an occasion. It's local, it's convenient and it's a nice cruise.

The boat ride is nice. Where ever they get there food from is really good food. You will enjoy your afternoon out on the water.

What an amazing experience we had for our anniversary! The DJ was amazing and his name was DJ Bobby, he loves Michael Jackson and loves to interact with the crowd. The waiter and waitresses were very nice and attentive. It was a shame the weather was very rainy but we made the best of it. Also, the food was okay and the pasta was very mushy and inedible. They explained they don't normally get it catered from Capone's but it was the only place available for the last sail for the season. Besides the food, everything else was absolutely amazing!

Pleasant staff and good service. I have only 2 small suggestions. In my opinion some music in the dining room (new orleans jazz perhaps?) to mask the low hum of the engine and warming the rolls would enhance the already enjoyable experience.

Beautiful and peaceful the food was cateredby Luigi's in South Toms River. It was delicious and love The River Lady thank you for the experience ❤️

This is the third time that I took our 55+ community members on the River Lady and as always it is a wonderful experience from start to finish. From making the reservation all the way through to the end of our trip, Capt. Lance and his crew were a pleasure to deal with . The narration is informative, the boat is clean and beautiful and as always the food is delicious and plentiful. We will be back next year!
This was a birthday party for 36 people. Other than bad weather which kept us from sailing, it was a great time. Captain Lance was terrific to deal with. He kept emailing and calling us to update us on the weather. Couldn't ask for better service. The DJ was great. Music was fun and appropriate for our group's age, not too loud. Food was very good, better than we thought it would be on a boat cruise. The staff on the boat was friendly and very helpful. The whole night was fun, most of our guests said how much they enjoyed the night, and several mentioned that they appreciated Captain Lance's concern for our safety and not sailing during a tropical storm!

The boat ride was fun. The food was surprisingly good- it was from a local restaurant. Would have liked to have heard a little more info about the bay and river- What, if anything, do people fish for in it? Are there commercial industries connected to the bay or river? How much are the houses along the bay? The staff is very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the outing a lot.

Greeting. Seating. Food and entertainment were all great. Please be aware that if you are expecting an intimate couple dinner. This is not it. You may be seated at tables with other couples. Which could or could not be fine. Depending on your personality. And the individuals you are seated with. Or. Book a table of 6 with a group of friends. Entrees were standard that are pre picked per your selection. Salad. Entree and desert and coffee were all excellent given a dinner cruise. They had a “DJ”. Basically music entertainment which he went around to each table asking for recommended selections. There is dancing if the crowd likes to dance. Upper and lower level. Upper is plastic style chairs and had the windows open. A nice option. Lower was formal dining chairs with a more warmth feeling. Basically personal choice. The boat went out to the bay and circled around. We went for our anniversary and was very soothing and relaxing. The crew and staff was amazing. Please keep in mind which is stated. The whole event is right about 2-1/2 hrs. So. If you looking for a night out. Good. If your looking for a quick bite and get out. No good. Unless you want to swim.
