Seastreak cruises are the BEST way to get the family on the water
The weather is finally getting warmer and the sun is starting to shine a little brighter, which means it’s officially time to get outdoors. Seastreak, the primary ferry provider for commuters traveling between NJ and NYC, also offers unique, seasonal routes and activities that the family is sure to love.
Visit the beach bar of your dreams: The Sandbox at Seastreak Beach is quickly becoming one of the Jersey Shore’s favorite beach bars. Hang out on the beach and enjoy a swim in the calm, lifeguarded bay. With live music every night, signature cocktails, and food trucks on the premises, it’s no surprise that the Sandbox is a popular spot for everyone in the family.
Go on an adventure looking for humpback whales: Humpback whales, sea turtles, bottlenose dolphins, pelagic birds, and sharks? Yes, they all call New York and New Jersey waters home! Whale Watching cruises depart from the Highlands terminal and in less than 15 minutes, passengers find themselves off the coast of Sandy Hook – ideal whale watching habitat.
Spend a weekend in Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard: Seastreak also offers ferry service from New York and New Jersey to the beautiful islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The trip is designed to be a weekend getaway, so board on Friday afternoon and return on Sunday. And don’t worry, there is reliable Star-Link internet onboard if you need to finish up a little work on the trip north!
Murder Mystery Dinner at The Quarterdeck: Did you know that Seastreak has their own event space on the second floor of the Highlands Ferry Terminal? With stunning views of Sandy Hook and NYC, it’s the perfect place to host a special event. On May 18th, the Murder Mystery company is doing just that! Join them for an exciting night of “whodunnit” and see if you have what it takes to catch a killer!
All Seastreak ferries are high-speed, luxury vessels, which makes them an excellent choice for leisure cruises. Spacious seating, an open-air top deck with 360 degree panoramic views, a fully stocked bar, and a climate controlled cabin all ensure comfortable travel.
Whether you’re craving some sun, city energy, or an adventure at sea, Seastreak can get you on the water. We can’t wait to see you out there!
