If you just want to get away from the hectic NY life I would definitely recommend the Schooner.

We were told to be at Chelsea Pier at 12:45 for the 1:00 Sailboat Tour. We were called on our cell phone at 12:30 to say the tour had been cancelled because the minimum number of people had not signed up and because of the rain. We were already standing in the rain at Chelsea Pier at this time. Since it had been raining all day and since the low sign up was known the day before... we really would have appreciated the phone call earlier in the day. Thank you for the quick and easy refund of our money. If we are ever in New York again we will try to do this sailboat tour - it does sound like fun. Thank you, Barbara

I love getting out on the water. Crew was extremely friendly, the boat was comfortable, (simple) beverages provided, even blankets when the wind picks up (but bring a jacket if it's cool.) Highly enjoyable experience.

It was a nice get-a-way from the city, the staff was friendly and the sail had amazing views of NYC and NJ! I can not wait to do it again.

Birthday present...

My boyfriend had never sailed on a large sailboat so I decided to surprise him for his birthday. It was a lovely lovely experience. The boat is BEAUTIFUL and every seat was a perfect seat. The crew were so polite and made the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. They offered drinks of all kinds which was a lovely touch. I take the Staten Island ferry EVERY day so wasn't sure I would see anything new but I was very wrong.....The view from the sailboat is FAR more exciting! And, we got up quite close to the Statue of Liberty. We always felt very safe as the crew were confident. I really recommend this trip to all! The cost of the ride was also very reasonable.....particularly for what you get!!!!! Thanks again!!! I've already booked some rides for my parents!

Peter, the captain, and the crew were great! Very friendly and offered information without a running diatribe on the sites along the river.

This was an extremely enjoyable way to spend a few hours. Allows you to see "the woods for the trees" in this huge city.
