| All aspects of the cruise were above my expectations. Great boat, good food, and friendly staff. Well-worth the $85. |

| Boat is small; food is plentiful and with a big variety; guide pointed out basic sites along the way- would have liked even more detail; it was a fun and relaxing afternoon. |

| First let me say I highly recommend the sailing trip offered in the warmer months (have done it twice). Went w/ mom from out of town on this Afternoon tea cruise. Got discounted tickets.
Pros:
-Comprehensive tour of island (circles all of Manhattan)
-Small group size on our tour
-Nice bathrooms on board (important for 2.75 hr)
-Decent selection of tea sandwiches, etc. they bring it out in phases
-Complimentary alcoholic beverage (although i spent an additional $20 on drinks)
Cons:
-Comprehensive tour of island..the upper-eastside and northern tip of tour are kind of boring- and hey I live up there...it's just not as interesting for "landmark recognition".
-Buffet style snacks- which in NY means everyone is pushing to the front to get the best selection. and if you don't you might go without...
-teas were okay, would have liked a larger selection
-Staff on this particular tour was not as friendly as ones in the past (it was a holiday weekend)
All in all would recommend for less than full-price ticket. Take the sail if you're here the right time of year |

| The boat itself was lovely and classic, but the added touches of flowers, the runner down the center of floor and the throw pillows added to the overall feel of comfy sophistication. Captain was very personable and relaxed, which again added to that
welcoming, comfy air. Servers were friendly and always ready to fulfill requests. This was a charming way to explore the harbor of NYC. Especially appreciated the small number of people; you actually felt like a guest on someone's yacht rather than just another crowded body on board. Food was yummy! Might increase the amount of fruit (although this time of year it gets pricey. Perhaps you can instead increase the amount of nuts????) and add another plate of tea sandwiches for a second serving---just a suggestion.
Great job! I have told many folk about our adventure and highly recommended it!

| Cruise, boat and crew were excellent. The weather was good and commentary was a useful guide to our surroundings, though a little loud inside for the laid back lounge. The small delicate sandwiches, crackers, farmhouse cheese, nuts and cranberries were fitting for an afternoon tea, along with the cake, tea (the water is hot - there is an electric kettle) and a glass of wine. The size of the boat and only 20 to 25 guests made it easy to move around inside and out. A nice relaxing afternoon. |

| Very nice trip, enjoyable experience and scenery. Nice length of time. Lots of guiding provided along the way - nearly all sight were described - except the UN, which puzzled me.
It was nice and spacious, I think our boat was full, but it was ot at all crowded. Nice to have a snack and cake buffet, but for the high price we paid I would expect higher quality sandwiches and afternoon tea ingredients (this was an "afternoon tea" cruise).
All in all: room for improvements, but definitely a nice experience. |

| The boat was fabulous, the crew professional, friendly, it was an great experience for my family and myself. The flowers on each tables were a very nice touch, real silverware, plates and glass, and no plastic cups made you feel appreciated and welcome. The food, was really nice too. Absolutely no thing bad to say. I recommend it. My mother coming from France really enjoy every minutes of the trip. Thank you! |
