After a long New York sightseeing day I was happy to have a complete different view of this busy city aboard this classic sailboat!
Great!!!

Adirondack is simply the best boat in New York harbor. |

Rather than zigzag back across the Hudson to use up the final 30 or so minutes of the 2 hours, why not sail to the Verazzano Bridge! |

I can't remember the Captain's name but he was really cool. I haven't set foot on a boat until then and he really made me feel at ease. Free Drinks helped too. It's definitely not a booze cruise though. Wish I could of spent more time out there. |

If you only experience New York City on land, you are missing out on half of it. You'll laugh when you see all of those other boats crammed with people (some with only standing room) to see the The Statue of Liberty or taking skyline tours, as you sit back with a beverage of your choice and observe Manhattan become the island it actually is. There is simply no better way to capture the panoramic views of NJ, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Ellis Island and many other areas. The crew was great and friendly and you can't help but enjoy the other passengers around you as they too are having a good time. I did the 1:15 sail cruise and it last 2 hours. Thumbs up on providing a great trip. |

The schooner takes you up the Hudson to Liberty Island where you cruise around for a while.
I recommend the Day Sail for 3 reasons:
- small boat - few people to quarrel for space with: there were 11 guest and 3 crew members and everyone had plenty space to walk and sit and take all the pics they liked
- quiet boat - you feel sorry for the poor people on the noisy and crowded ferries and tourist boats while you enjoy a beer on deck. awesome!
- great crew - though this is not a sightseeing tour (i.e. no one will point you at buildings or show off their knowledge of history) the crew is ready to give answer any questions about the boat or the city (if they know them)
I bet this is even excting for New Yorkers - pack a picknick basket, grab your girl and get on a boat! |
