WHEN DOES THE SEASON END?
Never! At Nautical Cruise Lines, there is no wrong season, or date! Our yachts are enclosed and climate controlled for year-round sailing! In fact, the winter months have become very popular over the years, and we've even modified our winter course to view the illustrious Jones Beach Holiday Lights Spectacular, a special winter exclusive! Even snow adds to our cruising delights, creating a beautiful “Water Winter Wonderland!”

WILL I GET SEASICK?
Absolutely not! Nautical Cruise Lines only sails on the calm and serene sheltered waters of Long Island's South Shore. We do not sail in the ocean where the waters can become turbulent. Our South Shore Bays and Harbors provide a more than safe and tranquil environment for a great cruise any time of year!

WHAT IS OUR CRUISE ROUTE?
We depart from Freeport's historical Nautical Mile and travel West through Randall Cove and Mansion Harbor. We continue on a westerly course through Parsonage Cove and pass the outskirts of the elite Middle Bay Country Club. Upon leaving Parsonage Cove, we turn to starboard traveling through the narrows of Shellfish Creek. On the return trip, we sail the tranquil waters of Lido, Point Lookout and Long Beach. Our nautical route affords you a breathtaking view of the world famous beauty of Long Island's South Shore.

WHAT DÉCOR DOES NAUTICAL CRUISE LINES PROVIDE?
Our beautiful panoramic views of the South Coast of Long Island are unquestionably the greatest asset to our décor. The yachts themselves have been professionally designed and decorated in a both graceful and elegant manner. We also offer an array of linen and napkin colors to suit your personal décor preferences. At a minimal additional fee, enhancements such as lace table overlays, chair covers, organza chair bows, centerpieces, wedding arches, and wedding columns are available. Our Nautical Event Consultants would be more than happy to assist you in creating your ideal setting aboard our yachts!

CAN WE BRING IN OUR OWN DECORATIONS?
When hosting a private event on our yachts, we welcome most decorations and themes you may have! For your convenience, Nautical Cruise Lines also has an in-house décor consulting company that can assist you with all of your decorating needs.

ARE THERE VEGETARIAN OPTIONS AVAILABLE?
With advance notice, our Chef will be happy to prepare a vegetarian meal for you.

ARE THERE KOSHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE?
With advance notice, we can provide kosher meals. We have excellent in house kosher caterers specializing in both dairy and pareve cuisine, working under strict supervision of a mashgiach at all times.

WHAT IS THE DRESS ATTIRE?
For public dinner cruises, the dress attire is casual and neat. We would prefer no jeans or sneakers. If you will be attending a private event, the attire would be the same as attending a function in a catering hall or restaurant, unless otherwise noted by your host.

WHAT KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT IS ON BOARD?
Our public dinner cruises have our in-house DJ spinning the hits to please all aboard as you dance the night away under the stars. Select cruises have our Magician, Captain Arnold, performing his magical talents as you dine and explore the decks of our Nautical Princess or Nautical Empress.

IS THERE PARKING AVAILABLE?
Yes, Nautical Cruise Lines has a huge parking facility to accommodate over 500 guests. Our parking facility is located directly across the street from our yachts. On the day of your cruise, a uniformed crewmember will be directing each guest to the proper location.

DOES NAUTICAL CRUISE LINES HAVE AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE?
The Nautical Princess is equipped with a high-tech sound system through all levels of the yachts, complete with wireless microphones. Please speak with your Nautical Event Planner about coordinating additional audio-visual requirements.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE DINNER CRUISE PRICE?
Your cruise includes a full cocktail hour with butler style passed Hors d' oeuvres, Pasta Station, either a Buffet or Sit Down Dinner, Dessert, Coffee, Tea, full open bar with premium top shelf liquor, and a cordial bar. Of course, the night would not be complete without the stylings of our nationally recognized DJs! Gratuities are not included, and are at your sole discretion.

ARE THE YACHTS HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE?
