Amazing place. Must visit for the view and atmosphere, and the boat itself is so unique. You have everything you need for a great time : good food, amazing view, pleasant music and great atmosphere overall. The staff were also great and professional. We had oysters, sea scallops and lobster salad and all the food was delicious. Great place for the special occasion for sure.

I am obsessed with Pilot, I highly recommend this place! The boat has a great atmosphere to it and there are amazing views of Brooklyn + Lower Manhattan, regardless of where you sit. The food is incredible, the cocktails are delicious, and the staff are SO kind (Hannah took great care of our group)! I can’t wait to return here, the vibes are immaculate and I will definitely be back!

Sometimes you just want to have dinner on a boat and this place definitely delivers!

The food and drinks were great and the service was speedy.

If you get seasick this might not be for you, but otherwise it’s a great vibe with excellent views of the city.

Oh, this place is definitely saved in my good vibes and experience Google folder. Amazing boat bar, with scenic Manhattan sunset views. Oysters , French fries and Negroni were our choices. We brought our friend while showing the city. She was very surprised and impressed, so am I.
Recommending for sure. Thank you

This was fun. It’s more about the boat, the location, and the view as the sun starts to go down than anything else, but we enjoyed it. Excellent, but pricey (but the VIEW!!!) oysters. I think mignonette should not be served in a salt dispenser. I definitely missed the chopped shallots.

The caviar hash brown was cute and tasty. The shrimp were kind of soggy and small in the chilled shrimp dish.

Ceviche was way too acidic overpowered the rest of the dish.

The scallops were excellent and looked beautiful.

Fellow dining companions enjoyed their lobster rolls.

The ragu was weird to me. Didn’t have enough personality for a vegetarian dish, but the boyfriend enjoyed it.

We did send back our fries because they were ice cold but they sent back some hot ones.

Nice cocktails. Amazing Irish manager who is incredibly charming. Our server was a little awkward and disorganized, but also gracious.

Dining with a different experience on a yacht moored by Brooklyn heights piers. Specialties are the seafood especially the oysters. Servers were friendly. Boat can sway a bit with passing boats for those who gets a bit queasy and seasick. The food were great and oysters fresh. Great view of lower Manhattan.

Dining on a boat in the Brooklyn Bridge Park was a wonderful treat from the spectacular views to the small but fresh seafood forward menu. There is truly no bad seat in this place, though I will try to snag a reservation at the table at the bow of the boat for my next visit

Bear in mind that you are eating on a docked boat, so expect some rocking. Probably not the best choice for those who are prone to motion sickness.

The service, the food, and the ambiance were all excellent. This restaurant is on a literal boat, so I would recommend checking the weather app to look at the Wind MPH (anything above 12MPH will rock the boat a little much, so it you or your friends get seasick, I would recommend going on a less windy day). It’s a little on the pricier side because, of course, they offer a wide variety of seafood and each of the dishes we got were delicious.

Came here for a celebratory dinner – such a beautiful view, special atmosphere, and delicious food. It was expensive but did feel worth it. It felt very romantic for two but I also saw many groups. It was a little wobbly when I was there, it didn’t bother me but something to keep in mind if you have sea sickness issues.

I think its a once a year or couple times a year type of place, because everything is overpriced. Also the effort that is required for you to not fall over while you’re sitting on a barstool on a moving/swaying docked boat is considerable… The “black duck salt” oysters were just OK, they were on the smaller side for sure. The Navy Point oysters were medium to large size and are basically just Blue Point oysters (less flavorful but larger, more meat). I ordered a Revolución cocktail and my wife ordered a lemonade type drink. It took like 20 minutes for the drinks to come out, I finished my first 6 oysters and my wifes entree came out before we got our drinks. I got served the wrong cocktail but I didnt say anything because I’d already waited too long (they served me a “permanent vacation” instead of a “revolución”.) It was delicious but I didn’t order it. Again I didnt make a fuss because I had already waited too long so I just drank it as it was another rum based drink. I don’t know if I will return because there are more affordable oyster spots nearby (henry public for one example). The lobster rolls looked small to me so I didn’t order ($32 compared to lukes lobster which is like $26).
