| First and foremost the entire excursion was great! From the start the captain and crew were very curteous and made the experience even more pleasurable. The trip was well worth the money and the view from the water in the harbor looking back towards the city at night was spectacular. I've been to New York City several times and this was an awesome way to view the city! There was only one thing I was disappointed with and it had nothing to do with the boat or the crew. I would just say that with the cruise being at night and on a sail boat that is constantly moving, its just not the best place for pictures for the simple fact that with it being dark and the constant motion it's very difficult to take good, crisp pictures of the city or the Statue of Liberty. But I think the experience will stick with me enough to not need pictures. |

| I brought my 66 year old father who was visiting from Florida on the City Lights Sail, it was a really nice way to spend the evening...a good alternative to the normal tourist type activity. I will definately be taking other people on the sail again!

| I have been on a dozen or more cruises around Manhattan and believe the Schooner Adirondack is the best. If you want a booze cruise, dinner cruise or live music, there are plenty of those options. If you want a quiet, intimate sail (not really a sail because, although the sails are hoisted, the engines are running--quietly--most of the time because it would be impractical to sail to the Statute of Liberty and back in 2 hours), this is the best choice. The crew is great, the schooner is comfortable, you can bring a picnic basket and they serve free drinks. Really makes you thankful that you live in Manhattan. |

The Adirondack was as amazing as always!

| I have been on the sails many times -- it's one of my favorite things to do in New York, either by myself or with friends -- and once again I had a spectacular trip. I bought tickets for a friend and her husband for her birthday, and another couple joined us as well. While I have been on the boat many times, none of them ever had -- and they all thought it was a unique and amazing experience. They were shocked that within 5 minutes of leaving the Manhattan pier, it was so quiet and calm you could have been anywhere. One of the couples was in from Los Angeles, and even with all the sails and cruises available there, they thought this one stood out. The views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and downtown New York City captivated them, but when we pulled up within a few hundred feet of the Statue of Liberty, with the motor off and no noise whatsoever, they were hooked. (And every time one of the big, loud, booze cruises or Circle Line boats passed by with hordes of people and loud music blaring, they would comment on how glad they were not to be on one of those.) Throw in some cold champagne and beer, and it was a very special evening they won't forget anytime soon. |

| The crew made the experience very enjoyable. The night was beatiful and the cruise never seemed rushed. I had a wonderful tiem and would do it again. |

| we took a bachelorette party on the boat...the drinks were great, the view was great, the crew was fun...it even almost rained us out but they had slickers for everyone. A beautiful happy sail to the Statue of Liberty...I highly recommend it! |
