Fourth of July: Friday July 4, 2025

Since the 4th of July falls on a Friday this year- our cruise schedule will fall into our normal Friday schedule with some minor changes.  As a result, tickets for each cruise can be found under the standard cruise type, not here under Special Events.  We have three opportunities to sail with us this year for the 4th so we hope to see you aboard!! 

1. Afternoon River Cruise from 2:30-4:00pm:  This is the perfect family-friendly way to get out on the water this 4th of July prior to your fireworks celebrations later in the evening.  Click on River Cruises above for more information or buy tickets here.

2. Happy Hour!!! Kick your evening off right with a 90 minute Happy Hour Cruise around Buffalo Harbor.  In honor of 4th of July, this Happy Hour cruise will sail 5:30-7:00pm, and will feature live music by Nico Zarcone.  $42 per person (General Admission).  Buy tickets here.  

3. Fourth of July Sunset Cruise: Will there be an organized fireworks display in the city of Buffalo on the 4th this year?  Only Russell Salvatore knows for sure.  Unfortunately there hasn't been since 2019, but we have still seen plenty of fireworks lighting up the nighttime sky the last 5 years.  Sailing 8:30-10:30pm, celebrate 4th of July aboard with Grand Lady with live music by Nico Zarcone.  Fully stocked bar available to purchase drinks and light snacks.  $55 per person (General Admission).  Buy tickets here.
