| After 3 fast paced days in New York City our sail on the Imagine was just what we needed. We enjoyed the view of New York from the harbor, saw the Statue of Liberty fairly close and were able to relax for 2 hours while being served a few beverages! The crew was freindly and knowledgable. A great change from the city! |

| This was a highlight of our trip to NYC. Had a fantastic time sailing around the city & the Statue of Liberty! I truly felt sorry for the poor people stuck on the "sightseeing boats" with 500 of their closest friends! Our boat had about 30 people on board - fantastic! The crew was great -- brought out our cold beers right away! It was so great to see the workings of such an old ship -- I've never seen a mast quite like it! This was a great trip, highly recommend! |

| It was my first sail on a Schooner -- enjoyed the experience of seeing the New York Harbor, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from a sailing vessel. Wonderful crew on board! |

| We had a very good time. We purchased red wine from the bar that was nice and not at all expensive. There were not too many people so we had plenty of room to move around so we could switch looking at different shores. Watching the sails go up and down and making turn was also fun and education. It was my first time on a sailboat so I really admired the quiet gliding comparing to noisy motor boats. The captain and the crew of the "Imagine" there funny and friendly. My 8-year old nephew had been entrusted with the steering wheel and he had a time of his life navigating to Statue of Liberty on his own.
The reason I am not giving this tour 5 stars (I would give 4.5 if there was such an option), becase probably my own fault- i had more expectations from reading other people's reviews. As I rarely come to New York, I was expecting more lively guidance from crew members, pointing out places of interest with maybe a little history about each of them. Perhaps, if we would have asked, we would have gotten the answers, but looks like it isn't included in a regular plan - just a pleasant, quiet time on the water with nice views around, so we had our own conversation while the crew discussed their own business.
I also wished that our journey itself was a little more interesting perhaps, by going all the way around the south end of Manhattan - but we were on time leaving the pier and coming back so this is just wishful thinking on my part. I suppose one of those days I will go on all-around-Manhattan trip.
Bottom line: for those who do not own their own yacht but would like to try the experience of riding in one, or would like to have a quiet romantic time enyoing the views and the fresh air - this trip is perfect (maybe different when it is all booked to capacity and you feel like sardines in the can) . I would not recommend it to those who are eager for more action and hungry for info. |

| My family and I really enjoyed our 2-hour tour. The Captain was entertaining with his bad jokes and his crew was very attentive. We felt safe and enjoyed our ride.
I would recommend it; it was a nice change of pace.Thanks! |

| The weather was perfect- sunny skies, a great breeze, and the Manhattan skyline in view. Sailing on the Imagine was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday. The captain and crew were very friendly, fun, knowledgeable and good sailors.
Very relaxing and enjoyable- I loved being out on the water!!! |
