| 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. |

| I had been on the Adirondack schooner several times, and this time I decided to take my family on the Manhattan as a fun family outing. There were seven of us, including two little girls, ages 3 and 6. Everyone had a blast! It was a cool, crisp, early fall day, and the views were beautiful. The kids loved counting the bridges we passed as we traveled the Hudson River, the Harlem River, the East River, and back around to Chelsea Piers. And they loved waving at all the other boats passing us by. The adults loved the views of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the U.N., the Brooklyn Bridge, and of course, the incredibly close-up view of the Statue of Liberty. The brunch was just right, the crew was super-friendly and helpful, and it was just an all around wonderful time. Having lived in New York most of my life, I don't hesitate at all in saying it was one of the most fun things to do in New York. Thanks for making it a great time for my family and me! |
