How do I buy a ticket?

What are table reservations?

When you purchase your ticket, you also have an option to reserve one of our upper-deck tables. A table can seat 4 to 6 people.  This gives you a guaranteed table to sit at with your friends and co-workers, and to spread out your food. You do not need a table reservation to visit the Honorable William Wall. There is seating at the bar and plenty of standing room. The table reservation is just a higher level of VIP expereince.

If the website says tickets are sold out, can I still come out?

Our max capacity is 149 people. If on-line tickets are sold out, you can still come stand-by and head out after one of the ticketed passengers come off. You can buy stand-by tickets on the launch.

After I buy a ticket, how do I get there?

We are anchored in the harbor and transportation to and from our vessel is provided by “Admirals Launch.” The launch departs from the Manhattan Yacht Club clubhouse in Jersey City. It is very easy to get there. The address is 140 Dudley St, Jersey City, NJ 07302. If you are coming from Manhattan, a favorite option is riding the yellow “Little Lady” ferry from Brookfield Place. Get off at the first stop – Warren St. MYC is 2 blocks away. You could also take the PATH to Exchange Place or Grove St and we are an 8 minute walk from both stations. Regardless of where you are originating, Uber or Lyft bring you right to our doorstep.

Please note – there are special Manhattan Tickets on weekdays at 5:45 and 6:45 pm.  This ticket starts in Manhattan at the Brookfield Ferry terminal in Battery Park City. Details on this ticket are included in your ticket info.

How often does your launch run?

Our launch runs back and forth every 30 minutes.

What is the latest time I can head out on the launch?

8:45 pm.  Our bar closes at 9:45 pm and all guests depart by 10 pm.

What is the “Full Moon Party?”

The Full Moon Party is the signature event of the Honorable William Wall.  It is usually scheduled a few times each year. The full moon rises up over Brooklyn and you have one of the best views in the city from the Honorable William Wall. This is an old fashioned rock and roll party. It starts early in the evening with easy tunes from the 70s and 80s. And as the sun sets and the moon rises, you will hear rock and roll from the 80s, 90s and more. If you like to have fun, come out and feel the moon, and feel free to HOWL.

Full Moon Party dates in 2023 are:
Friday, June 2, 2023
Wednesday, August 2, 2023
Wednesday, August 30, 2023
Friday, September 29, 2023

Can I bring children?

Yes, we are a family friendly venue. Tickets must be purchased for children because they count as a person towards our max capacity. You must keep an eye on your children at all times since we are a vessel on the water. If you are bringing very young children, please also bring a life jacket for them.

Do you take credit cards?

Yes.

Can I bring my own food?

Yes, guests are allowed to bring their own picnic lunches and dinner. However, all drinks must be purchased on board.

What do I do if it gets chilly?

We have the iconic Honorable William Wall sweatshirts for sale. You can buy one and also become super hip as an “in-the-know-person,” especially if you wear it at other resort locations like the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard and the Caribbean.

Can I cancel if the day is not perfect?

We are always open, even if the weather is not perfect. Our upper deck is covered and our downstairs is fully enclosed. In the rare occurrence of a hurricane or other major storm, we may have to close, and if we do, then we inform you in advance by email. Like a baseball game, our tickets are non-refundable but you can give your ticket to another person.

Can I throw a party at the Honorable William Wall?

Yes and please visit the PRIVATE EVENT page for more info.

I love you so much, what else can I do?

First, thank you. We appreciate our loyal customers who come visit again and again during the summer. We hope you will make the Honorable William Wall your secret hideaway. Second, thank you for helping us succeed by telling your good friends. Third, please express your appreciation to our bartenders and staff. They thrive off positive comments from great customers like you!

Who was the Honorable William Wall?

William Wall then went on to serve as Mayor of Williamsburg, head of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and a United States Congressman during the Civil War. The Commodore of Manhattan Yacht Club, which built the clubhouse, is Michael Wall Fortenbaugh, a descendent of the Honorable William Wall.
