About Art Boat

Art Boat is a distinctive, USCG-certified floating gallery and event venue located at Skyport Marina along the East River. With a two-level layout and a climate-controlled lower deck, the 300-passenger vessel hosts floating art-gallery cruises and NYC party events—often described as NYC’s first floating street-art gallery. Whether you’re attending a curated art cruise or a spirited evening on the water, Art Boat offers a unique, approachable experience with easy steps to secure your seats.

From a practical standpoint, you’ll find convenient parking nearby at Waterside Plaza Garage, plus Skyport Marina parking options referenced in event listings. The venue is accessible by public transit, with the 23rd Street entry on the 6 train about a half-mile away and the M23 bus serving East 23rd Street to FDR Drive.
