Excellent service and neat venue. We loved the Thanksgiving cruise. The food was four star.

Very enjoyable cruise up the Caloosahatchee River through the Franklin Locks. Beautiful days with choices of inside climate controlled area or top deck with sun shelter area. We were free to walk around each deck and front to rear. Meal was simple,easy and enjoyable. Return trip featured live music that you could dance to, but Wish it could have been shared on the top deck. I, personally, would have enjoyed more history of the boat and the river area. We were fortunate, lots of room for our group of 14. Cruise director, Pepe made everyone feel welcome to have a good time. All in all, a great excursion!

I will never again recommend this cruise to anyone! thought it was Fantastic 2 years ago. So didn't know if there was a change of ownership or what! We did receive an email that they were changing where we would board the boat. which was fine. but that's not where they dropped Seniors and some handicapped people off after we returned. The food was horrible! you could barely hear the DJ. We thought we would be viewing the fireworks from the cape, coral bridge, not turn the boat around and watch the fireworks from the oxbow! we could have stayed by the oxbow and watched them from there! So the price they charged was not worth it! I very very embarrassment to have taken friends on this cruise! And there were alot of people complaining as they were getting off the boat! I tried to wait to see if I would get a response from the owner and they never responded! T. Dahl

We went on the Christmas cruise. The dinner was nice, except for poor selection of desserts. We were on the upper deck, with reggae music piped in. Very little Christmas music. Very little entertainment, since the DJ was downstairs. Mostly disappointing, considering the cost.

My husband passed away 3 months ago. I was not looking forward to Thanksgiving at all. My best friend left her family in Texas to spend time with me . I decided to do something different by booking with the riverboat cruise. To my surprise, the food was great, the DJ was great and the people on board were wonderful. I had a great time. Will do it again next year.

Really had a lovely day on the river. Every single crew member goes the extra mile to be friendly and make you feel comfortable and welcome. Buffet lunch was very good. Music was excellent. Drink prices very reasonable. Would definitely do this again.

Paid quite a bit for this 4-hour luncheon cruise. So-so buffet. Nicely cruised west on the Caloosahatchee but not to the Gulf. Stopped and turned around at 2:20 and inched along (with little breeze and no narration) to home on Hendry Street. A waste of the additional hour. Bar closed up at 2:20 with 40 min. to go. We were tired and bored as we barely moved on the way back. In addition, they send an email the day before telling us to pick up our tickets at the address in Hendry. The tickets are available on the boat as you enter.

We had a very nice time on our luncheon cruise. The food was good and the staff were great!!! Always fun out on the water in Florida.

We we're on the July 4th cruise. We had a great time! The food was good, music was good, and the view of the fireworks was awesome from the water. Recommended for a fun night out.

Worst birthday meal/ experience ever. Food was worse than wet dog food. Left 40 minutes late, music was horrible 70 s music. Just the absolute worst 3 hours of my life.

PHOTOS: Boats in Upstate NY break loose amid Hudson River ice jams

• Updated: Jan. 25, 2019, 1:12 p.m. |

At least four unmanned boats broke loose Friday and swept down the Hudson River causing bridge closures along the way in the Albany area.

Rising water and ice jams on the Hudson River caused the Captain JP Cruise Line, the Rusty Anchor Restaurant Barge and several tug boats to break free from their moorings in Troy, according to Troy Police.

Captain JP, a four-deck cruise vessel, struck the Congress Street Bridge and was wedged against the Livingston Avenue train bridge in Albany.

No injuries have been reported. The Dunn Memorial Bridge, Patroon Island Bridge, and Menands Bridge were shut down during the morning commute, but all have since reopened.

Check out the videos and photos below.

5-STAR FORT MYERS CRUISES ★★★★★

Great way to spend the evening. They did a great job setting up the food and the DJ. THE cruise was great and very relaxing. The food was very good. The fact that the DJ interacted with the people on board and played all kinds of music, really made for a good trip.

Franklin Lock Cruise. We have done this cruise a few times over the years, went again yesterday. It was the best ever! All crew members very attentive and professional. Everything about the trip was well organized, food was pretty good too. Each time we've gone the entertainment was different but yesterday was the best with Jerry Burton performing. Highly recommend this cruise.

Good time with neighborhood friends. Had a river cruise with a 100 neighbors and it was a great time. Food was very good, and the DJ was excellent. He not only played a variety of music he sang. He has a great voice. With the night time cruise you couldn’t see much but a good time was had by all

Wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving. Excellent food, turkey, dressing, salad, green beans, corn etc. But especially the beef tips. Staff was very courteous and friendly. DJ was fantastic - made it a fun and enjoyable trip despite the overcast sky

CAPTAIN JP CRUISE LINE

Harold Kurz August 2022

 On August 16th my wife and I had our daughters Sweet Sixteen party aboard the Captain JP Cruise. I cannot thank the Captain, his crew and staff enough for what was perhaps our families best party ever! From when I made the first call to a young lady named Sarah that handled the reservation to when we stepped off the ship it amazed me how much attention they gave us to ensure our party would be memorable. The atmosphere on this ship is outstanding to say the least, the food, the service, the DJ, and the band were exceptional making a night our daughter will never forget. Everyone that came to the party has been raving since that night, all of my daughter's friends have been saying it was the best sweet sixteen party they have been to. My family has already been talking about getting together and going on another Capt. JP cruise soon. I truly would like to thank the Capt. and his staff for an exceptional evening, and I would highly recommend Capt JP cruise to anyone whether you are planning to have a party for an occasion or just a great evening out. You will not be disappointed. Again, thank you guys, and I know we will be back many times to come!

Jill Fuller, F.D. Roosevelt High School May 2022

Captain Jim and all your staff,

On May 23, 2022, you made 350 peoples dream come true with the first ever Junior Prom Cruise for the F.D. Roosevelt High School in Hyde Park, NY. The clouds moved out and the sun came through just in time for an amazing 4-hour cruise on the majestic Hudson River. Having the 2 DJ’s on different levels was such a hit, giving an opportunity for all students to enjoy dancing. You and your staff are amazing to work with and did a fabulous job helping to continue “Makin’ History” at F. D. Roosevelt High School. We HIGHLY recommend you!

To everyone at Captain JP,

thank all of you for contributing to our 50th class reunion. We had 49 people on your great ship on Saturday, August 10th and we couldn’t have been more pleased. From the girls in the office to the complete crew on board ship, everyone was just great. The food was excellent and prepared perfectly. We had many of my classmates tell me that the Prime Rib was the best they ever had!!! Thanks again and when we have our next reunion, I’ll be in touch.

Anonymous June 2021

I frequent the JP and the food is always fantastic, and the staff are attentive and friendly. I’ve always enjoyed the cruises, especially the music cruises, and have brought friends along and none have been disappointed. I absolutely recommend the JP for a night out. I moved to the downtown area for the nightlife, and live on the waterfront as well – if you’re looking for an enjoyable night out or a change of pace, I highly recommend giving the JP a try, this local business gives you an incredible opportunity to enjoy live entertainment and great service while taking in the scenic views from the Hudson; it’s a definite must for anyone in the area.

Anonymous July 2021

I have been on the boat many times.. I always have a blast and their food is great, love their cakes, and the brunch cruise was a great time for my children. I love their new location, the parking garage is much better than the little parking lot they used years ago. I would tell all my family and friends to check it out, the prices are really affordable.
