This was our first time visiting New York, and this was an excellent way to see the city, and the Statue of Liberty!! The crew was friendly and informative. Tom (part of the crew ) was great, he gave lots of information about what we were seeing, and Dorothy in customer service was very sweet to us. We loved everything about the sail, and will be back on our next visit to the city! We highly recommend this to everyone who loves the ocean, and the city!!!! |

Of the various options for seeing New York from the water, this has to be the best. The friendly and informative skipper and crew make this a very pleasant trip with the added pleasure of sailing a stunning yacht in Hudson Bay. We enjoyed some 'real' sailing in fresh breeze and felt very safe at all times - but without being showered with 'don't do this and don't do that' instructions. The only very minor criticism was not being offered the opportunity to take the helm - but then maybe we should have asked! We loved it and will return on our next trip. |

Highly recommend sailing with SailNYC.
The staff is very friendly and seem genuinely interested in being sure guests enjoy the experience. Willing offer information and "color" if needed but also willing to let group sit back and set a quiet tone. Entire crew gave off a a very positive, comfortable and "enjoy yourself" vibe.
Trip was easy to plan, boat left and returned on time.
Great value and of course a great way to see the City from the water. |

My husband and I had a great time on the boat. My only complaints were that we only saw one thing - the statue of liberty (would have liked to go under a bridge) and that the trip wasn't narrated. I would have love to heard someone describe the boat and the raising of the sails and some of the buildings we were passing by. Those things aside, it was a great way to see the statue and the crew was very friendly. |

Our voyage started as a grey cloudy departure but then quickly became a sunny blue-sky afternoon sail! When the sails went up, silence, even in the Big Apple. This is a great way to take a break and enjoy a different view of the city. |

This was a great excursion. Of course, we sailed on a beautiful sunny day, which made the trip even better. The views of Lady Liberty were fabulous. Our preteen kids loved it as well. A great tour, and a great value! Thanks again! |

It was a very nice sailing trip and we enjoyed the experience. But we (my brother and I) think that it would be nicer to have some music a board. It would create a nice atmosphere especially when the wind is down and and the engine on. |

We had a wonderful time sailing on a perfect afternoon. Thank you!
Here's a tip for finding Pier 59: follow the signs to the golf club (driving range), walk into the parking garage and you'll see the pier entrance to your right. |
