| I gave this outing to my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. It was a very foggy, rainy day, but we still really enjoyed the experience. We did not get to see spectacular sunny views, but we did get a lot of really interesting pics of the city in the fog. We live in Upper Manhattan and enjoyed the tour up and around northern Manhattan.
We were expecting a light continental breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. There was an array of bagels and fresh fruit plus hot foods like quiche and waffles. The coffee was even good!
The staff was great - friendly and helpful. The skipper did a great job, despite the added stress of all the fog and rain. The boat is beautiful - the interior is a glassed in room with plenty of comfortable seating. We had about 30 passengers and did not feel crowded at all. Half of the passenger were in groups, the rest couples, and you were free to mingle or find a quiet corner.
We intend to bring friends and go again! |

| The ship is beautifully appointed and well maintained. The food was excellent - tastefully displayed and well prepared. The staff was attentive, but not intrusive. It was a delightful time. |

| The trip was on the NYC website as recommened and we thought, as it was our first day in the city, we'd start with something quite leisurely...
The whole trip was fantastic from start to finish - from the initial welcome we received from the crew, to the minute we disembarked over 3 hours later.
Describing it as a simple brunch was an understatement - the variety and quality of the food was superb - you could litterally eat and drink for the whole 3 hours if you wished!
The guide books that were available on board were very informative and gave a yard by yard description of the view.
We could not recommend this trip highly enough - 5 star |

| My girlfriend and I took this brunch cruise as part of our 1 1/2 year anniversary celebration. I was very nervous about a number of factors when I booked the cruise (what if the ship is too crowded, weather , food quality, etc), but it wound up being a wonderful afternoon. My girlfriend was very surprised and I won major brownie points, so it worked out better than anticipated.
Our cruise took us south to the statue and then back up the Hudson to arround the Tappan Zee to take in the last of the Fall foilage. The sights were quite pretty, the food tasty, the yacht GORGEOUS and the crew and other passengers were a delight. There were about 20 passengers total on our cruise, which felt like an appropriate crowd for the size of the yacht. Everyone got along very well, but you can socialize or not as you like. the ship is big enough to allow for some more intimate "alone time" but small enough to bring people together too.
I highly recommend a brunch cruise on The Manhattan, whether you're visiting and want to learn more about NYC or just need a break from the city life, as we did. |

| Everything was perfect (the boat - the crew - the brunch). We were a group of 15 people from Switzerland and I can say that all of us enjoyed the Cruise. The objective was to celebrate an important event by doing something special in Manhattan. We will keep amazing memories.
I srtongly recommand this activity. Really good value.

P.S. Next time we will try the cuise with Adirondak Sailing Boat |

| We thought we might be disappointed because we were so looking forward to sailing on the schooner. The weather prevented that for us, so we took the yacht. We found that it was very comfortable. The food was very good and the staff extremely friendly and courteous. We highly recommend this fall foliage excursion. |

| The cruise was a highlite of my life.I always wanted to see New York and this was the biggest thrill.The three crew members were very friendly and they all could not do enough to make our ride pleasurable.The sites were indescribable from the Harlem River and upper Manhattan down to lower manhattan and its wonderful skyline to the closeup views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.I highly recommend this trip to anyone that has not seen New York from this side. |
