| Overally, this was a great experience... The captain and crew members were very friendly and knowledgable. Beverages/Beers/Champagne were served. Keep in mind that this is a sail boat; if you're a person who gets sea sick easily, I would be cautious, probably take some motion sickness pill before sailing. When the captain turned off the engine, the boat rocked more than when it's moving with the engine turned on. I would recommend, positive experience. |

| Would definitely recommend the city lights tour - weather was perfect, skyline was beautiful and we were all glad to not be on the loud motor boats that were going by for other tours. Drinks were offered throughout the sail, crew was friendly and helpful. One thing to note - this is not a guided/narrated tour - for first time visitors it might be more interesting to have a guide point out the high points (islands, buildings, history, etc.). Overall, a great time and very reasonably priced. |

| As a native New Yorker I tend to avoid touristy things, like tour buses, Times Square, and sunset cruises. But the truth is, I'll gladly do touristy things in other cities, so why not in my hometown? It was a calm, dry August night, and I thought it would be fun to see the city from the water as visitors see it. My partner and I got tickets a few hours before the cruise and sailed down the Hudson with about 25 other people. We drank champagne and talked with other passengers and felt like we were somewhere far away. The 2-hour ride seemed to end before it began. Robert, the captain, was warm and friendly, and the rest of the crew made us all feel at ease. If I had known a sailboat ride would be this relaxing, I would have done it years ago. Whether you're a local or a visitor, you won't be disappointed! |

| The Adirondack and it's highly capable team of sailors are a fantastic way to spend 2 hrs. in Manhattan. I've lived here all my life and that is one of the coolest things I've done as far as tourist events go. Fantastic trip!!! THANKS AGAIN. |

| I would highly highly recommend this cruise to anyone. Our group included single friends, married friends, friends with children and grandparents! My five year old had the time of her life!! The captain was fantastic, the weather was perfect and boat sailed like a charm! The sites were breathtaking and the entire evening (a surprise birthday gift for my husband) was MAGICAL!!! |

| The Adriondack schooner is a fabulous experience. I booked the city lights night sail for myself (a native NYer) and my boyfriend (a Dane), who is also a sailor. This is so much better than a yacht tour, which feels like one is on a floating (bad) hotel. Instead the sails and the proximity to the water make you feel like more of a participant than an observer. The skyline view is magical and the boat sails near the statue of liberty, which is stunning up close. The crew was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this experience. |

| Enjoyed the trip - perfect warm evening, except for the fact that there was not enough wind to actually sail. The crew still rigged the sails, and turned off the motors whenever they could. Wonderful views, friendly staff, and an enjoyable evening. |
