The houseboat

Come away to where the lake keeps its stillness.

The view from the deck, Nigeen Lake

Moored on the serene waters of Nigeen Lake, New Jersey Grandeur is a 140 ft double-deck houseboat that redefines luxury on the water. Behind the boat, the Zabarwan mountains glow as the sun rises, spilling first light across the deck. In front, the still lake stretches toward the Gulmarg mountains, where every sunset paints the sky in gold. It is a rare calm, far from the crowds of the busier waterfronts.

Wander across the expansive decks, dine in our refined fine dining area, or settle on the sunset deck as the evening light fades over the lake. Made for intimate family retreats, milestone birthdays, celebrations and private gatherings, every moment is hosted with attentive, personal service.

Let the lake slow your hours, the sunset set your evenings, and the stillness remind you why you came.
