| The sail ride on the Schooner Imagine was absolutely amazing! My wife and I took the late ride around the city of New York and loved everything about it. The sail and city lights were absolutely breathe taking. The service on the sail was excellent and very comforting. Anything that you wanted they did for you. That is a great feeling! This was our first trip to New York City and we would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice romantic-relaxing sail ride along the beautiful skylines of New York City! |

| The boat ride was very well organized and everything ran smoothly. It was raining the night we went but rain jackets were provided which was great! |

| We had a group of about 20 people from different areas of the corporation marketing, finance, operations, IT and outside consultants who have been working on a project together for about 6 -9 months. We scheduled the cruse as an opportunity for all of us to get together outside the work environment and see a side a NYC that many of us had never seen before, even the ones who live here.
We were apprehensive about the forecasted 20-30% probability for rain. We debated whether to try to reschedule or not but finally decided that there was no guarantee of ever picking a day with 0% chance of rain. In the end we decided to trust the judgment of the very professional crew who do this for a living. They monitor the weather with radar. If they decided the weather was too bad they would cancel the trip. Five of our group wimped out and stayed home. They missed a great experience! Sure enough it did start to drizzle on us about the time we were getting ready to leave. But the crew provided everyone with some very attractive yellow rain coats (Large only, no XLs or petites). It continue to drizzle for about the first half of the trip but that didn't dampen our spirits. If anything it added to the experience and the team bonding. The wine, beer and Champaign probably helped :-) Then the rain stopped.
We had a great view of the Statue of Liberty and the lights of NY & NJ. It was beautiful. The experience of sailing into the wind on a magnificent sailing yacht with the boat heeled to one side from the wind as you sail past the lights of NY was an amazing experience that none of us will ever forget. I can't say enough good things about the service we receive from the whole City Lights team from the front office that helped us plan and schedule our trip to the crew on the boat, they were all professionals. More than that, they were genuinely nice and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. Bottom line, it was a great experience all the way around. I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. |

| This was my first time on a boat tour with my better half, and we loved every moment of it. She even said this was the best thing we had ever done.
I loved our little schooner (Adirondack) and Captain Kat was pretty amazing and funny. The night tour, accompanied by a nice breeze anad the alcohol on board made for a perfect date setting.
I am just glad we did it, and would highly recommend it to anyone who might be thinking about it. |

| My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. We received a gift certificate for the City Lights Sail on the Schooner Adirondack. The whole experience was non-stressful - from booking a reservation online to finding the pier. Enjoying the sunset and the ride along Manhattan was the most stress-free of all. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! |

| We sailed at 8:30pm on Saturday, May 24. Our original cruise date was May 20th but it was cancelled because of poor weather. We were so happy you were able to reschedule us on Saturday. The night was lovely. I just wish I could have sailed with you all day. Thanks for a really special end to our stay in New York.

| We decided to do something a little different and went on the city lights sail this past weekend. It was great and we're so glad we did it. The view was spectacular. The captain and crew were very friendly and we had an awesome night hanging out with our friends on the beautiful sailboat. Even made new friends ! |

| A great way to see New York from the Hudson. Special mention to Aaron and his crew for making our trip a memorable one. We were made to feel very welcome and were looked after very well. Thanks. |

| My husband and I enjoyed the cruise very much. The crew did a great job and we had a great experience. Our cruise was a gift for our anniversary from our three children and a nice surprise. |
