The AIANY & Freshkills Park planners host this special Classic Harbor Line tour; the only public water tour into the Freshkills waterway.

Officially closed in 2001, Freshkills Park is the largest landfill to park transformation project in the world and when complete will be one of the largest parks in NYC. Its rolling grasslands, wetlands and waterways are already home to an abundance of birds, fish, and wildlife.

·       Experience a major shipping channel and see our industrial waterfront including the active ports of Bayonne & Newark Bay

·       Hear about the history of Freshkills Landfill and how it is being made safe for the public

·       Enjoy many close passes with giant tankers, container ships, dredge barges and tugs.

·       Sweeping views of 4 full capped 'mounds' covered in vegetation and wildlife

·       You'll enjoy unobstructed views from the covered and enclosed solarium or the open decks of one of our yachts. Cushioned seating, heat & AC, a fully stocked bar, and two well-appointed restrooms are available on each yacht.
