| Because I had just read an article in Time Out describing about 17 different boat rides in New York City, I first tried the Circle Line around Manhattan than the Manhattan Around Manhattan Brunch and, finally, the Manhattan Sunset Cruise.
The boat itself is what keeps me coming back: because of the smaller size, fewer passengers and lots of glass, one can see almost 360 degrees from almost any point on the boat. There is a quality of peacefulness because there is no loud intrusive commentary but, if you have a question about something, it will be answered. There is, also, a quality of casual elegance.
I am looking forward to trying the Fall Foilage Cruise. |

| A little pricey, but worth the pennies- for a romantic, genteel, "wind in your hair " kind of escape from the ordinary. The yacht 'Manhattan' is a very lovely boat. The evening cruise with lights aglow in lower Manhattan is dreamy. The onboard free champagne, wine, beer may be a bonus for some...However, we found the quality of the alcohol to be poor, so this didn't really help the mood. |

| My girlfriend and I have done this cruise just before going to the Empire State Building where I asked her to be my wife. The cruise was really great. The boat is very nice, the view is extraordinary and it is just long enough. We have seen everything that must be seen during a trip to NYC, manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty.... Everything was almost perfect ! The only little thing that I had hoped to be better is the staff on the boat. They were just polite, not particulary friendly even if we were not more than 20 people on the boat.... At the beggining I thought they were like that only with me (I don't know why they would but we never know) and as I am a french tourist I thought maybe they had a problem with french people but after a while we started to talk with a guy from New Jersey who was doing the cruise with some friends and he told us that he had the same opinion on the staff that we had. I have to say that one girl was nice, polite and she smiled but there was another one that was almost rude with us.
But we are not doing this kind of attractions for the staff so the result is that the cruise was really, really GREAT !!!!
It has to be done and in THAT boat !!!!!

| Fifty bucks a ticket is an awful lot for cheese and crackers with a glass of wine for an hour and a half around the Statue of Liberty. At least come up with more imaginative hors d'ouevres. |

| This was just what I wanted! My boyfriend loves to be out on the water and I gave this to him for our anniversary. We had a great time. The service was amazing and the views of the city and Statue of Liberty were spectacular. I would definitely reccommend this cruise! |

| The cruise was terrific. We had fun and will probably do the cruise around entire island of Manhattan when we are able to get time during the day. |

| The sunset cruise was a very nice way to show the beautiful sights of Manhattan without all of the noise and congestion that takes places on the actual island itself. The highlight of the tour was the Statue of Liberty however it would have been nice to have the boat go up to the United Nations and not stop at the Brooklyn Bridge.
