| This was the first trip of this type for my family, we didn't really know what to expect....We were pleasantly surprised. Loved the fact that it was on a "smaller" scale and received that "personal" touch...The history was awesome and very informative..
The boat was very comfortable and the food was delicious...I would most definitely recommend to friends. Actually I already have and they are planning on booking it ASAP...
Thanks for a wonderful experience :)

| Wow! It was more than what we anticipated initially, was simply amazing to take a full three hours of cruise on a decent (term "luxury" would be misnomer) yatch.It was wonderful day of summer, as sunny as possible and was getting tolerably breezier minute by minute. As the day progressed the tour became more exciting - courtesy awesome weather, can not ask for more. A few point which we have noticed worth mentioning are:
#1: The hosts were quite courteous and polite. They all welcomed us very warmly as their special guests as we boarded the ship and ship departed just on time. So be punctual, if you don't want to miss the boat.
#2: The boat seemingly was a bit small to accommodate comfortably a group of thirty plus revelers (adults and kids together). It was clean, decorated and well arranaged. It had nice red color rug which lent the ship so called quality of luxury.The seats should be cozier, I guess.
#3: The tour guide who happened to be our vessel operator was quite soft spoken, and informative but I personally felt that she needed to be a bit more elaborative about the rich history of the bridges as we passed under more than two dozen bridges in the 3 hours trip.
#3: The quantity of the food was more than enough and it was being replenished as and when required.
#4: Quality and variety of the food, I would say, needs facelift as there is a reasonable room for improvement there. As it was a brunch, it should have more items which should make one feel that it's really a filling the appetite.
#5: For vegetarian folks, it will be barely enough to have it and feel like you have had a real solid brunch though there is enough of fruit salad if you can satiate yourself only with fruit servings and variety of juices.
#6: In spite of calm waters, the boat rocked a few times, tumbling the glassware off the tables, but the staff personals at the ship were prompt to clean the mess so that the guest can enjoy their time to the fullest.
Now comes the most important part of ranking the whole experience. I would rate it 7 out of 10.It’s definitely worth taking this ride circumnavigating island of Manhattan with your near and dear ones specially if you are a tourist and wants to see the island in the shortest time. I’ll take another one when they better the whole paraphernalia to take this experience to another level or two higher.
Bon Voyage

| The trip around Manhattan was great. Crew was very helpful and knowledgeable, the brunch was magnificent with a good variety of high-quality foods, and the scenery was nothing you can see from the land. |

| We took the Manhattan brunch cruise with our family (12 people total) for our father's 60th Birthday. The food was exceptional, the staff friendly and helpful and the sights were amazing! The boat was very well kept and the tour felt exclusive, with a small group of people - yet you saw all the important sites that the big tourist cruises feature. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in celebrating a special occassion (or who just want a nice time in Manhattan!) |
