| 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!

| Ths trip around Manhattan in a brand new yacht built along "classic" lines was a perfect platform to enjoy yourself while seeing the "city" fron the outside. The crew was very congenial and you felt like you were their guests. Being a boater from a different part of the US, it was a dual experience where I could see the New York sights and discuss the navigation proceedures in the area with the Captain.
My wife was reserved about the trip until she took it. She felt it was the highlight of our trip. |

| We'd recommend the trip highly. The small boat made the cruise around the island intimate and was quite a nice experience.
One piece of constructive feedback that we'd like to provide. We were looking forward to a quiet reflective trip (in specific contrast to the Circle Line type experience). We weren't expecting a MC/Narrator. On this specific day (7/23/06), a volunteer from a large group narrated the entire trip. I'd suggest that the note for the cruise make it more clear if there was / wasn't going to be an MC. It may well have made the trip more enjoyable for some. For us, having someone knowledgeable of whom questions could have been asked would have been prefereable.
All in all it was a fantastic trip that we'd recommend.

| Crew was fantastic and fun, weather was terrible and only cleart at the end. We think you need to have more food for kids. Simple foods like bagels and butter. I enjoyed the small sandwiches but all the kids, (10-18yrs.) did not.
Hope to see you soon in the SUN!
Thanks for the informative fun trip. |

| My wife, daughter, and son-in-law, and i spent a 4 day week-end in New York. It rained most of the afternoon but that didn't have any impact on the cruise. There were only 12 people total, so we had a lot of food and attention. It exceded expectation in every way, and we had a great time with the other passengers. The crew couldn't have been any better.
Thanks.

| We had an amazingly good time. Customer service was outstanding, the vessel was gorgeous, and the views were breath taking. It was an incredibly romantic date and we recommend it to everyone we know. We look forward to booking future trips- brunch and twilight tours especially! |

| My friends enjoyed every minute of it. The wine and the food was good. It was like a private gathering of family and friends given the size of the crowd. Highly recommended. |

| A group of 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea cruise around Manhattan on the Yacht Manhattan. It really wasn't about the food. It was about getting a view of New York that none of us had ever seen before - and we all live here! The cruise was a leisurely 2 hours, which turned out to be the perfect length. The staff was very courteous and we saw a spectacular sunset as we cruised down the West Side of Manhattan. I highly recommend any of SailNYC's excursions on the Manhattan or the Adirondack. |
