| Beautiful, romantic, smooth, I loved that there was no music blasting. The crew was lovely and courteous, and they worked together effortlessly. I wish there had been more time sailing as opposed to powering, but I assume it has to do with the wind and the time. Also, you can't control who's on board with you, and although everyone was quite nice, some of the patrons were more interested in talking, drinking and taking pictures than just sitting quietly and enjoying the peace of it all. But regardless, I would STILL recommend this for anyone! I will go back again and again, to be sure! |

In particular, seeing Liberty at night was a moving experience |

| First off, I understand that no one has control of the weather, but I find it very hard to believe that a determination about the weather had to wait until 1 hour prior to sailing. There is the weather channel and radar and I am sure other sophisticated equipment that can tell you that the trip may need to be cancelled before an hour prior to the event. We live in New Jersey and my family had come for their first vist, so I was excited about the City Lights Tour (I still am), but we tried to call several times and no one would give us a straight answer, so we packed up the family and DROVE into NY (so as not to be late) only to recveive the call that the trip was cancelled. I am sure someone could have made that determination at 5:00. Obviuosly it wasn't a "last minute decision" as the weather was fine (rain stopped and sun came out) by 8:00 (cruise was supposed to leave at 8:30). So now I have 5 adults and 1 child's credit and there are just two of us. We have no children and I have no need to take 3 cruises. I think you should re-think the cancellation policy when circumstances beyond everyone's control cancel the trip.
Thank you. |

| Was a perfect night and a great idea for a surprise B-day sail for my BF. He loved it. The crew was nice, the boat wasn't too crowded and the drinks were flowing.....just lovely. It was a Thur night so I can't vouch for any other days. |

| Thye Adirondack Schooner was an incredible way to see the city and relax after a hard day at work. The weather was spectacular as was the views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island & the Skyline. As lovers of the water this was the perfect environment to prpose to my girlfriend; thankfully she said yes!!!! We will go again!!!! |

| The city lights tour was really cool. We pulled out of the dock right around sunset and sailed down the Hudson as the city began to light up for the night. Lying barefoot on the foredeck, staring at the night sky with its own lights, the stars, I could just edge out of my vision all the surrounding skyscrapers and pretend I was somewhere in the middle of the Pacific. It was beautiful. The only downside to the trip was that there was not enough wind to move under sail power alone, so the noisy engine had to work the whole time. But on the foredeck, it was just quiet enough. Loved it. |

| My boyfriend and I had a really great time on the "city lights" sail. We are true NYC locals and it was so nice to get a new beat to break-up a usual weekend with a fantastic night cruise. The Cap't and crew were really nice, too. Recomend this for everyone! |

A fun thing to do in New York City with kids too!

| Last night, I was hosting my six-year old niece in Manhattan, and after hearing her talk all about the Statue of Liberty lessons she was just getting at school and seeing how interested she was, I decided to keep her up WAY past her bedtime and take her on this sail. It was a great decision! We did lots of other things during the day - a fun pizza dinner, visited a chocolate factory, etc - but nothing topped this sail in her eyes. We took the late-night sail, so we left just around sunset and came back in the dark. As an added surprisce, there were fireworks over the Hudson River in both Staten Island and New Jersey that went off while we were on our trip. Not only did my niece love the sail, but it was really interesting for me to see it through her eyes. I've been on this sail on the Adirondack Schooner a few times before, but she kept pointing things out to me that I never noticed before. And to top it all off, she thought that Captain Sarah was just the nicest Captain in the world (even let my niece stand next to her and feel like she was driving the boat for a while) and said she wants to go on it again with the same captain sometime, so she can teach her how to sail for real! And the best part of all is that now she thinks I'm the coolest uncle in the world. (And I thought pizza and chocolate would be the big hit?!?!) |
