The Great Gatsby Boat Tour Home

F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 classic, The Great Gatsby was set on "that slender riotous island" otherwise known as Long Island. Join us on a boat tour of the bay that ignited Fitzgerald's imagination and become familiar with the peninsulas of West Egg (King's Point) and East Egg (Sands Point).

Yacht clubs founded before the turn of the 20th century grace the harbor and continue Port Washington's yachting tradition. The homes of such legendary businessmen as Carl Graham Fisher and John Hay (Jock) Whitney stand as they did in the days of the Prohibition. Try to envision where Gatsby's mansion might have stood and exchange stories of "the roaring twenties" on Long Island - a microcosm of the U.S.'s pre-WWII revolution in manners and morals.

This 90-minute boat tour of Manhasset Bay is $25 per adult, $10 for those under 12. To reserve your seat, please call (212) 678-1955 and leave a message. Your call will be returned promptly and reservation confirmed.
