See the leaves of Fall in all their colorful splendor on the classic schooners' last scenic sails up the Hudson River to the Palisades!

Nice date for couples. Beautiful views of Manhattan skylines and great experience for those of us who've never been on a sail boat.
Crew is friendly and hardworking.
Wish we went up the Hudson River a little bit further.
But overall had a great time. |

The boat trip itself was fun, romantic, and refreshing. With a full boatload of people it was still comfortable. The weather we had was perfect--sunny and chilly, great for snuggling under the blankets provided by the staff. The incredibly agreeable crew were responsible not only for maneuvering the boat and ensuring our safety, but serving wine, champagne, beer and hot cider, as well as lunch later on, and they were very attentive and engaging. I highly recommend this both for a new couple looking for a fun way to get out or an established couple looking for an escape from the city! We may go back out in the spring with a whole group of friends... |

Missed it last year and vowed to go this year. Well worth it! Staff was very friendly. Weather was perfect. A little chilly but on-board blankets did the trick. Thanks!!! |

I love Autumn and everything about it, the smell of the air, the colors of the trees, the chilly breeze. This really give us a chance to take in the sights and connect with the environment. With the help of the wind, we were seriously sailing, not just riding around with the sails up. I felt like I was on vacation for 4 hours when really I live only a few miles away. Couldn't have asked for a better crew either. They were friendly and just as excited to be out there as the rest of us. One piece of advice...dress in many layers. It gets cold out there! :) |

This is a beautiful afternoon on a gorgeous river in a wonderful sailing vessel with a competant delightful, accomodating crew. AND it was far too cold to be on the water even with the hot cider and blankets!
I highly recommend this adventure on a WARM or HOT summer day or a WARM early fall day.
Food left a great deal to be desired.
We are a married couple and will take our grandchild on a shorter cruise this coming summer.
The few children aboard got very bored after an hour or so.
I think a two houir cruise is better suited to children under 13. |

I went on this trip with a small group of friends and my wife. The weather was great; the crew very professional, friendly and informative; the lunch was tasty; and the service impressive (especially navigating the deck with out loosing their balance). Of course the schooner itself was beautiful. |

Next time there is a Nor'easter I wouldn't recommend sailing. My fiancé and I are not wimps but we did not enjoy this trip it was way too windy and cold. There wasn't really much change to the trees so that was also a bit disappointing. The food was very good, the staff was very nice. The weather just didn't make for a good trip over all. It's too bad because we were really excited about going, and I paid a lot of money for it.
