My husband and I took a trip to NYC with our close friends to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We planned this sailboat ride as our very last activity to our great vacation. We are so glad we did. This ride was more than we ever imagined! Let me start with the crew, they were so friendly, funny, and all had great personalities. The ride itself was smooth, relaxing, and a great way to cuddle up with your loved one. I would recommend this to everyone. The city lights sail is a great choice for those that want to see the city in a different way and just relax. I am so so so glad we did this. It was the perfect ending to our stay in NYC!

It was a great experience, the crew was great, the ride was nice. The only thing I would like is for them to make more trips, it was hard to get the ticket, specially for the sunset cruise. Other than that, it was an awesome experience. I would def. recommend it.

Worth the Trip

A great way to spend an evening. The crew was very accommodating and the view of New York from the water was fantastic. I would have liked to have gotten a little closer to the Statue of Liberty, but I would still highly recommend going.

If you rarely see or have never seen the city from the water, any cruise will do. The views are the point. This particular sail had the views, of course, though not enough, and the rest of it, well, seemed a little too concerned with cutting corners. 1) The wine was pretty bad, which was puzzling since it was offered so sparingly. One understands why a business might hoard good, expensive wine, but what does it mean when a night cruise offers up the cheap stuff in such small and rare servings? 2) Not much cruising for a "cruise," i.e., we went 30 blocks to the tip of Manhattan, hung out for a while among very noisy party boats, then returned. (Locals would choose this sort of "sail" to escape the noise of the city. So anchoring/lingering anywhere near a boisterous party boat is basically a bad idea.) Crew and staff were very friendly and pleasant. Kudos to them.

A beautiful full moon & fireworks at the Statute of Liberty. The four of us had a fabulous time! A little more wind & it would have been perfect. We want to do it again soon!!

My group of friends and I had a fantastic time on the Adirondack city lights sail. The crew was incredibly helpful and attentive. The view of skyline was gorgeous, plus the unexpected fireworks display over the harbor was a great added bonus. I highly recommend the city lights sail - I can't wait for my next sailing adventure!

Great trip, a little too short on sites

We really enjoyed the trip, we just wished we were able to get out to the East River to see the bridges a little closer. The trip was touted as a trip that included the bridges but we really never got close to them. Service and crew were excellent.

Never saw the city look like this.

What a beautiful night. The beauty of the full moon beaming behind the Woolworth Building across the Hudson was breathtaking. Fireworks shot off behind the skyline and we felt like we were in a fairy tale. The air was sweet and we hadn't felt so relaxed in years. One suggestion. One of the passengers on our cruise insisted on making an extended business call on her cell phone. She loudly played "master of the universe" while everyone tried to relax. It was jarring and for a few minutes put a damper on the evening. Here's the suggestion. For the 2 hour cruise, why not ask all passengers to show some respect for each other and the beauty that is in front of them. On boarding, why not ask passengers to refrain from using their cell phones for the duration of the cruise. It would help everyone fully enjoy their 2 hour escape. Again, the jarring phone call was over in 10 minutes. We quickly recovered, but all things being equal we would have preferred the caller had gotten a busy signal. Thanks.
