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

I brought a group of Manhattanites and a few Queens folk for good measure. We had a blast and enjoyed going out to sea for a couple hours. Very relaxing and went by too quickly. Very nice crew let us do our thing but made sure we enjoyed ourselves, had enough space, and had a cold beer in hand if that is what we wanted. Great diversion. |

the scene on the water near statue of liberty is fantastic. the whole trip is about the sun, the wind and the water. if you haven't experienced it yet, it will be your loss. i'll definitly recommand it to anybody looking for a unique new york day. |

We had a wonderful Friday afternoon sail. The captain and crew were solicitous of our well-being and enjoyment of the trip. There was the right amount of talking and silence so we could take in the views and experience the sail. Will - have - recommended to others. |

We really enjoyed the 2hr sail. The captain has a passion for sailing and knows sailing. If you are looking for any information about New York or the area (even what you see on the tour), then you will not get it here. We were treated very nicely by the staff and captain and given a lot of information about the boat, but there was nothing about what we saw when sailing by. It would have been nice to hear some information about New York, the Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and/or Ellis Island. So, if you are not expecting a "tour", then this is great. |

Great trip with a grandchild or a child ages 9-17.
Peter, the skipper, was excellent....cheerful and informative, and the other 2 crew were swell. The best part, of course, is under sail. |

Nice relaxing unobtrusive way to see NYC from the water. The crew are professional and courteous. Even though the weather wasn't good the day we went in terms of sun it made for great sailing in terms of wind. Excellent couple of hrs I'd recommend it. |

Reminded me of my childhood summers in Cornwall.

I took my sister on this sail to celebrate her upcoming wedding. We had such a nice time. It was very relaxed and informal; the crew was welcoming and friendly. The boat was absolutely beautiful. We brought lobster rolls from The Lobster Place in Chelsea Market, and the crew gave us cold cans of beer to drink. The ride was breezy and beautiful -- we sailed down the southern tip of Manhattan and right past the Statue of Liberty. My sister and I talked as the waves lapped around the boat, and the sails swept us along quickly. It really reminded us of our childhood summers spent sailing in Cornwall, England, even though the city here was obviously much bigger! By the end, we were lying on the boat, looking up at the full sails, and hearing the water and seagulls around us. For a moment, it was hard to believe we were in NYC!
I would highly recommend the trip -- I plan to take my parents when they next come to visit, and my little brother already took his girl friend on the evening sunset sail (they loved it, too). |
