The Only Historic Long Island Boat Tour to Explore The World of F. Scott Fitzgerald!
Take a journey back in time on our Great Gatsby Tour, riding through Manhasset Bay and Long Island Sound to visit the very real places that influenced F. Scott Fitzgerald. From Port Washington, you’ll comfortably cruise to the Long Island locations of East Egg and West Egg.
Experience the vibrant beauty of New York like never before with two spectacular hours on the water. See the real-world locations of Gold Coast mansions and scenery which inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald to write the classic novel. The centennial of the novel is 2025 and we look forward to including special events in some of the cruises.
Join us on the Angler Fleet, a Coast Guard-inspected vessel equipped with all the modern amenities for your comfort and safety. The boat has private restrooms, a bar, seating on two levels, and mates there to ensure your tour is nothing less than the cat’s pyjamas!

A wonderful way to see the sights and learn some history from the water’s view. Kevin is a fabulous tour guide and the Andgler crew added to the experience. A definite must do if you love Long Island sound or just want to learn more
Lots of fun history about the islands we visited. We heard some great stories relating to the places we were visiting. Guide was very knowledgeable.
…It was a very informative and interesting tour of the “secret islands” in the Long Island sound along Pelham Bay and New Rochelle. We saw Pea Island, Hart Island, Columbia Island, the Expedition Rocks Lighthouse, and some others. It was a really fun tour and a good value. Would highly recommend!
Our group had an amazing day on Governors Island thanks to Kevin! He is an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guide and could not have been easier or nicer to work with in setting up our tour. I highly recommend a tour with Kevin!
…wrote the guidebook to the Island. In the two hour tour, I was able to get an overview of the island. Fitzpatrick mixed history with antidote and kept us moving through the island’s history…
