| With a beautiful NYC afternoon, a friendly and accommodating crew, a beautiful boat and good friends, what could have been more pleasant? The two hour cruise just delighted all of us as we shared the Hudson with everything from a Norwegian cruise liner, a huge scow pulled by a tug, the Stars and Stripes America's Cup racing yacht, gorgeous private yachts and even two kayakers.
Even though you don't get the "play by play" chatter detailing the landmarks you are passing the way you do on the Circle Line, this was way more pleasant and relaxing.
We would do it over in a heartbeat and intend to bring other friends next time.
Kudos to Captain "Cat" and the crew. |

| Captain Cat was a super friendly woman and we did have a very nice time. My only two critiques would be that the website says for the 3:30 day cruise it does offer champagne, which I was looking forward to. In fact, they only offer beer, soda, and water on the day cruise. Also, it was not a full 2-hour cruise. We left a little late and came back 10 or 15 minutes early. So we felt a little robbed of time, otherwise it's a great way to spend a couple of hours. |

BIG SCAM

| i reserved two tickets for my husband and i, i had a $10 off coupon from valpak like any person in New york. " we didn't go because of the coupon, we always talked about going".
I go on their website, pay for the two tickets and i leave a note regarding the coupon.
When we arrived to pick up our tickets we mention the coupons, the woman "say that she does not know about that and will ask the captain"...................
Off course she knows about coupons because everybody in the city receive the same scam with valpak.
Anyway, we just forget about it, because we were very exciting about going and have a little thrill on a sailboat " especially after seeing the pictures on their website..."
It was supposed to be a $40 trip with complimentary bar "wine, champagne, ect"
Before we begin the tour, they proposed everybody a drink but no wine or champagne off course.....
They say they would come 3 or 4 times for the service..... after the first round we had almost to beg for another beer...
Two hours to go from 18th street to the statue of liberty and come back, ridiculous.
next time we will rent a pedal boat, buy a bottle of champagne and will do 4 times the tour of 'all Manhattan" for cheaper than that.
Not worth it unless you need to take a nap.... |

| We were lucky enough to take this trip on a windy day so the sails were up almost the entire time. Beautiful boat and friendly crew. I would have to agree with past reviews that some people have too much to drink and are loud and obnoxious. We had 4 kids with us and would have prefered not to listen to dirty jokes and cursing. |

| We had a wonderful time on the Adirondack. My husband, myself and our 2 year old daughter all enjoyed the boat, the crew, and the 2-hours on the water. This tour is perfect for all ages - great to have a few drinks with friends, on a date, group of adults, etc; and it's also great for kids. Highly recommended! |

| As part of a family reunion, 13 of us went on a 2 hour sail on the adirondack. we ranged in age from 10 to 81. it was a beautiful day and a lovely sail. the captain engaged the children and was very informative and nice. the crew was friendly and attentive as well ask very good at tending the sails. i'd recommend the adirondack to anyone who enjoys a lovely afternoon of sailing on the hudson. |

| Four of us took an afternoon 2 hour schooner sail, which was a relaxing, layback way to see the sights along the Hudson. We packed a carry on lunch and were served drinks by the crew members, who were very pleasant and accomodating. They were always making sure everyone was comfortable and answered all our questions. It was so relaxing and enjoyable, that we plan to do it again. Two of our party live in Manhattan and said that they would recommend it to their friends. Rain or shine, it is something that is a definite trip not to be missed. |
