Take a Cruise, Locally

Yes, it’s May. The winter and are just a bad memory.

And guess what? May also means cruises down the Hudson are back in rotation.

Welcome aboard! Kathi Crom owns the historic Commander, a National and State Register of Historic Places vessel that sets sail from Haverstraw Marina May through October. Built in 1917, the Commander is licensed and inspected by the United States Coast Guard, and Captain Joe Malgieri and crew are certified.

There’s dancing, dining and, of course, views.

Cruises run either full day during the week from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or two-hour cruises on Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Special cruises are also offered during the summer—costs and days vary and groups are welcome, so a visit to the Hudson Highlands Cruises, Inc. website, or a quick phone call, are encouraged.

Don’t miss the spectacular views of the Stony Point Battle Site, Bear Mountain, West Point and much more. But most of all, don’t miss the opportunity to unwind with others for just a bit, the breeze off the water refreshing you.
