Since we have taken the proper legal steps to obtain and possess a license to serve alcoholic beverages on our vessel under the control of the New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA), our passengers are not encouraged to bring alcoholic beverages on board our vessel.  

New York State Law does not allow passengers to bring there own alcoholic beverages onto a public vessel unless the vessel is licensed under the NYSLA.  Due to the expense and strict regulations that we follow to comply with the NYSLA, only under certain circumstances do we allow Wine purchased locally by our customers on board.
