A Great Way to Experience Point Pleasant Fireworks

Point Pleasant fireworks are a favorite summer tradition, but watching from land can come with traffic, crowds, expensive parking, and the challenge of finding a good viewing spot.


Aboard the River Queen, your evening is already planned. Guests can board in Brielle, settle in for dinner, enjoy the views along the Manasquan River, and watch the Jenkinson’s Boardwalk fireworks display from the water.


Here you can relax, take in the sunset, and enjoy the show from aboard one of the Jersey Shore’s most recognizable riverboats.


Dinner, Sunset, and Fireworks in One Evening

The River Queen’s Summer Fireworks Cruise includes a casual pasta dinner, scenic cruising, and fireworks viewing (weather permitting) in one easy evening.


Guests will enjoy fresh tossed salad, penne pasta with a choice of vodka, marinara, or butter sauce, Italian meatballs in traditional gravy, assorted dinner rolls, fresh brewed coffee, tea, decaf, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert.


As the boat cruises the scenic Manasquan River, you can enjoy the evening breeze, take photos, visit the cash bar, and watch the shoreline, marinas, bridges, and waterfront homes pass by. Then, when it is time for the fireworks, you will already be in place to enjoy the show from the water.


Perfect for Families, Couples, and Summer Guests

The Summer Fireworks Cruise is a great choice for families, couples, friend groups, and visiting guests. It is festive without being difficult to plan, and the two-hour cruise is long enough to feel special without taking over the entire night.


For families, it is a fun way to enjoy dinner and fireworks without navigating the busiest boardwalk crowds. For couples, it makes an easy summer date night near Point Pleasant, Manasquan, Brielle, Brick, and Toms River. For locals hosting out-of-town guests, it is a simple way to show them the Jersey Shore from a different angle.


If you are searching for a Point Pleasant fireworks cruise, a Jersey Shore fireworks cruise, or a unique summer activity near Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, the River Queen offers a relaxed and memorable option.
