Day Sail on Schooners Adirondack

I would recommend this service / adventure to others.

Great views and way to see the city from the water

Chris and crew were great. We enjoyed a couple drinks and a nice couple hours heading to the Statue of Liberty and back.

Love that the captain sailed hard! Lots of tacking and sliding from side to side! Exciting day of sailing. I often go sailing with this company. It's like taking a weekend off in only 2 hours! See you again, soon!

it really was

This was by far the best boat trip we have been on. I took my wife on the Adirondack for her birthday and it was an amazing day. The Captain and his crew were so pleasant and kind. A definite relaxing and enjoyable day trip for family,friends and lovers.

I'm living in Sweden and was visiting my boyfriend who is born and raised in Manhatten. We went on a two hour sail with the Adirondack. It was a very nice experience for both of us, since the perspective from the Hudson is not something that even New Yorkers usually see. The crew was very nice and helpful in every way and happy to share their experiences and stories with us. All in all I can really recommend this way of seeing Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

I decided to book a sail for my boyfriend's surprise birthday and invited a dozen friends to join. I am so happy I decided to go on the sail rather than do the typical dinner out. EVERYONE told me they loved the sail and that it was a great birthday idea. My boyfriend later described the experience as epic. Basically, 40 or so dollars buys you a trip on a boat, amazing views of the city, and free drinks. ABSOLUTELY worth the $40. The only detail that would have made it more amazing is if there were fewer people on the boat, but it was a beautiful spring day on Saturday so I can't say that I was really surprised.

First, dress warm. Second, be sure you don't get sea sick easily. If you heed those warnings, I think it's a fun trip and a different type of tourist experience -- one that this long-time NYC resident was able to handle with her visiting mom. But it's more about being outdoors, on the water, looking at Manhattan/NJ than it is about learning about NYC landmarks/architecture. I think on the bigger touristy boats, they might be able to share more information. On this trip, it's a bit too difficult, with the wind blowing, and the crew having to actually maneuver the boat (for which I am very grateful for their skill). We had a lovely day for the trip, so it made it very worthwhile.

Perfect weather, afternoon, and overall experience. Great value at this price. As a local, I can attest that this was many most enjoyable experience to-date seeing a wide swath of the City at once.
