Step aboard one of our Elegant Commuter Yachts for a truly unique Philadelphia experience!
Join Patriot Harbor Lines for a nighttime excursion on our two iconic rivers. This one-way trip departs from our Walnut Street Dock on the Schuylkill Banks and arrives at the Seaport Museum at Penn’s Landing right next to Spruce Street Harbor Park. Philadelphia’s amazing skyline comes to life during this two-hour cruise.
With a tradition of constructing buildings and bridges with unique and interesting lighting features, Philadelphia’s skyline is experienced best by boat. During this evening river tour we explore the stunning Philadelphia skyline that has been known to throw its electric power behind a specific cause and related color.
Our yachts have fully-stocked bars with a great selection of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Welcome aboard PhillyByBoat for this spectacular and unique cruise!
