New Harbor View Deck – Coming May 2025
We’re thrilled to unveil our new harbor view deck, located off Schoonmaker Hall on the first floor! Set to open just in time for warmer weather, it’s the perfect addition for events and visitors, offering stunning views and unforgettable sunsets — a perfect complement to the maritime experience.
The entire evening was a huge success! We entertained 140 guests for 3 hours with an open bar and heavy hors d’oeuvres. The space is colorful, warm, welcoming and fun! Planning this event from PA was turnkey and stress-free. As the hostess, I knew that everything was taken care of, and I was able to relax and enjoy the evening as if I were a guest!
