Party Boat Takes 500-Gallon Dump In Buttermilk Channel: Report

RED HOOK, BROOKLYN — Talk about a poop deck.

Workers a 100-foot party yacht called The Avalon poured a large amount of human waste into the Atlantic Basin near Red Hook at about 1 p.m. Sunday, according officials and a New York Post report.

The Avalon’s 500-gallon dump sullied the waters of the Buttermilk Channel and outraged locals who heard about the incident, the New York Post reported.

“Let’s feed the owner some of what they’re dumping and see how that changes,” Brian McGinn, 23, reportedly said.

An NYPD Harbor Unit discovered the stinking sewage when officers overheard the ship’s crew discussing it over a police radio channel, the Post reported.

The US Coast Guard and the state Department of Environmental Conservation are both investigating the incident, a New York State DEC representative told Patch.

Prestige Yacht Charters advertises the 200-passenger ship as "your own private floating nightclub" on its websites, but President David Hackert denied responsibility when contacted by the Post.

“[Prestige] does not own or operate the boat,” he said.
