| I LOVED this cruise. Staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were cheap and the boat was a 1920's throwback. Weather could have been better... but pictures come out better w/out the glare anyway. I personally would return whenever I have vistors from out of town, or maybe just for a nice weekend outting w/ my husband. Grade A |

| My husband & I took this cruise with another couple. The yacht Manhattan is perfect. It has charm and the captain and crew were really great. There were perhaps a dozen passengers total (though it seats more) and made for a nice, intimate cruise. We've take then Circle Line cruise before and while it was very informative, it lacked any sense of personal touches that The Manhattan had. This felt more like going out on a friends boat than a sightseeing cruise. Highly recommended! |

| My partner & I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, it was a really good way of seeing the coastal sights, we got very close to the statue of liberty. The staff on board were very friendly, the only negative was that they didn't know what some of the landmarks were. For 1.5 hours, the trip was well worth the money with complimentary drinks given on board. The choppy weather made it even more exciting!!!! |

| I've lived in NYC now for 5 years and this was my first cruise around the island. We were on the Manhattan - which was a georgous wooden boat - that was small enough to feel unique and not commercial - but large enough to ensure a smooth ride. The crew was extremely friendly and helpful while not overbearing. Our party contained about 15 people and everyone had a great time. I will definitely think of this boat and crew for future parties and events. |

| I went with a group of friends, we were celebrating my fiance's birthday. Everyone on staff was great and they even gave me a microphone to sing happy birthday to my fiance - it couldn't have been more perfect!!
I thought because the boat trip was reasonabley priced that they would hose us on drinks but that was not the case. Again, everything was perfect and the staff was great.
I would recommend this to anyone on any day. The weather wasn't the greatest so we sat in the cabin for most of the trip. It was very comfortable and very nice!! |

| This trip was very nice, the boat was pretty and the music played was wonderful. It went with the whole 1920's yacht theme. The ride is a little rocky, so you must hang on to your drinks.....a few people left their drinks on the table and the glasses broke.
There were a lot of people on the boat , so it doesn't fit too well if you are looking for something romantic. The crew gives limited information about the sites we are seeing, so I think it is a great bet if you are a local or not a first time tourist because you are not bombarded with information and you can actually relax and enjoy the sites. My only complaint is that the trip would be nicer if it were 2 hours instead of 1.5. |

| It was windy so the water was a little choppy, but the weather was incredible for mid-april. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. |

| I was escorting some friends and family from LA. This tour gave me a chance to point out places of interest around teh NY harbor. Lovely boat, very comfortable with a friendly crew. Weather was a bit chilly and mostly overcast (equivalent to their winters) so they stayed inside. My cousin's hardier teenage son stayed outside with me.
I would like to suggest to the captain that he try to maneuver the boat between the setting sun and Liberty Island so his passengers can get a better picture of the Statue of Liberty. |
