Champagne Sunset Cruise on Yacht Manhattan

Though we live in the city we rarely take the time to do the local sightseeing scene. Last weekend a group of friends came into town for my birthday, and we took the sunset cruise around Manhattan. We did this last year and have decided to make it a yearly event because EVERYTHING was perfect. The boat is lovely, immaculate, not too crowded with just the right touch of classic, old fashioned charm. The crew was fun and friendly, the wine of excellent quality, and to top it off the weather was spectacular. Another huge plus is the recent renovation of the park next to the boat dock. We packed a picnic, arrived early to collect our tickets and then found a table in the park with gorgeous views of the water. This cruise is absolutely a wonderful experience, and I recommend it without reservation. Even if the weather had been bad it would have been fun to sit inside with friends and listen to the captain's interesting descriptions of New York history. Thanks to all employees who gave us a memorable time.

Somthing fun and different to do for locals. At 1 1/2 hours, it was a bit short. Would have preferred 2 hours like your sailboat cruise.

The boat itself was lovely and in good condition. The views were fine--not better or worse than would be found on any other boat. Definitely not a tour boat, which was good--no nattering narration. However, although I realize that sunset is at different times each day throughout the year, after 90 minutes we were docking and it was still light out. If you are not able to adjust your departure times (due to harbor traffic plans or something) then maybe it should be called the "pre-dinner cruise" or something that doesn't lead me to believe I'm getting something you can't deliver. Was no more romantic than being on any other boat.

Great to see the city from the vantage of a boat. Often forget that we actually live on an island!

i went with 3 of my friends to celebrate a birthday and it was a great idea. my friends loved it. th eview of the bridges and the statue of liberty is wonderfull. we even had the luck to see a full rainbow. magic experience

We took the sunset cruise on the yacht on a Sat. night. Everything was exactly as advertised. The cruise left on time, crew was pleasant and accomodating. It was a great way to see the city first in daylight and then at night. Seeing NYC from the water offers a different perspective than you get from land. Especially nice to see the skyline at night. Magnificent view.

Great boat, friendly crew, perfect number of passengers (about 20) so we all had room. The commentary by the captain was just right: not constant, but just at the right time and with some humor and truth. The beauty of the city, at sunset and when it began getting dark, is indescribable. I only wish we could have sailed more north on the East River and more north on the Hudson. I'd pay more for a longer cruise.

It was a very nice cruise. Crew was helpful and polite

I won't spend time talking about how great it was because i'm sure everybody else is talking about it. One thing to improve - It was not clear that the cruise includes only 1 glass of drink. Not meaning it was not reasonable to charge from second glass, but it should've been clarified. It was awesome, and I am planning to do another sunset cruise with my friends as my farewell to new york. For anyone who wants to make a special memory about new york, i definitely recommend this.

Friendly staff, efficient, awesome views, wonderful date. Get the cheese plate - hour and a half is a long time if your hungry.
