SS United States
Sinking Viewing Cruise
One Historic Ship. One Extraordinary Day. One Unforgettable Experience.
Witness History in the Making!
On November 12, 2026, Boogies Watersports invites you aboard a special offshore viewing cruise for the scheduled sinking of the iconic SS United States, as this legendary ocean liner begins a new chapter as the world's largest artificial reef. This isn't an everyday sightseeing trip. It's a rare opportunity to experience a remarkable piece of American maritime history from the water! Enjoy complimentary onboard photos, with food, beer, wine, and snacks available for purchase.
