We were on the Adirondack at 3:30 in the afternoon. The vessel sails smoothly, with just a bit of excitement from heeling over in the wind. A great afternoon experience. |

The ride was fun and it was interesting to see the city and all of the architecture from a different perspective. The staff was very accomodating and freindly. I wasnt impressed with the beverage selection, I thought there would be wine available.
The capable crew was able to avoid the storm, but the yellow ponchos they gave out smelled really bad. (maybe a little febreeze would be in order.) You do have to hang on a bit when the boat goes sideways which was great fun, but its a pretty smooth ride. All in all we had a really good time, I would definitly recommend to go at least once. |

I live in NYC and have done this cruise twice, once on a date and once with relatives. I find it to be both the best way to see the Statue of Lib up close and to see the downtown skyline. The sail is quiet and peaceful, the staff is attentive and professsional and they even throw in a beverage or two along the way.
If you don't feel the need to battle the crowds and deal with the lines for the ferry to Liberty Island, this is definitely the way to go. |

We went on the cruise as a group of 10 celebrating a birthday. As locals this was a great experience providing a new perspective on the cities. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We all had a wonderful time and will repeate the experience. |

I recently took my family on the Adirondack to see NY, specifically to allow my 5 year old twins to see the Statue of Liberty. The crew was so friendly and amazing and the trip itself was so refreshing. I highly recommend it!! |

Relaxing, great view and on an amazing schooner

The schooner is even more amazing closed up. The staff are all friendly and professional. The captain is knowledgeable, charismatic and offered engaging history lessons of inconspicuous landmarks.
I just wish that I could help sail the schooner!
The only negative is that the ride is a little too long for children. |
