Passengers — both human and canine — donned their best and most creative Halloween costumes as the 90-minute cruise set sail from Pier 83 at noon, taking in sights like the Statue of Liberty, High Line Park, Hudson Yards, Ellis Island and One World Trade Center, while boogying to tail-wagging tunes.

During the spooktacular event, dogs, and their owners, competed in a costume contest for a chance to win prizes sponsored by fast food chain Raising Canes, organizers said.

“It’s such a great opportunity and we’ve always liked to bring friends and people together, dog lovers, and really educate them,” Eurdolian told CBS during the pet adoption, while holding her two pups, the other dressed as a bird.
