| Repeat visit, booked before we left the UK and it did not dissappoint. Adirondack last year, Imagine this; friendly helpful skippers, efficent, cheerful crew and maximum time under sail. I recommend these guys thoroughly. |

| We had a glorious day for sailing on Saturday, August 23, 2008. We boarded the Imagine right on time, with about 2/3 of us sitting on the edge of the cabin, with our feet towards the lifelines (railings) at the edge of the boat, and 1/3 on upholstered seats in the cockpit. There was plenty of room for the crew to pass between us and the lifelines to do their sailing work. One passenger had a cane, and the crew helped two people with small roller-bags by loading the bags. The boarding is not difficult, but is similar to climbing a step-stool and then across a very small gap to the deck.
There was a stiff wind from the South, so we had to tack all the way to the Statue of Liberty, which we got right "in front" of, before turning to run (i.e. "before the wind") back to Chelsea Piers. The web site holds out the possibility to (and does NOT promise to) go as far as the Brooklyn Bridge, time and weather permitting. But because it took 1 1/2 hours to get to Ellis and Liberty Islands, there was no hope of passing close by the "Waterfall" sculptures in the East River, as I had hoped we would. I had to be content with a long distance view of the two most southerly "Waterfalls".
The crew offered soft drinks, Budweiser, and Coors Light four or five times. As mentioned in their literature, I had brought our own pretzels and cheese, because we hadn't had lunch. The ship was extremely clean and comfortable, the crew pleasant and helpful, and we were back close to the appointed time. It was a wonderful outing. |

| This is a great way to see New York City and the Statue of Liberty from the water. The boat can only handle about 20 passengers at most along with the three-man crew. It is not crowded at all though.
The staff is very pleasant and provided free drinks.
If you've already done the Circle Line tour or other larger boat tours this is a great alternative at a reasonable price.
It helps when the weather is perfect too! |

| Our sailing trip exceeded our expectations. Crew were friendly and knowledgable. Wonderful way to spend 2 relaxing hours in New York. Only regret it that we didn't try this before. |

| This is one of my absolute favorite things to do with friends from out of town when they come visit. It is an absolutely phenomenal view of Manhattan that even as a resident renews my love of the city. It's a great way to take advantage of beautiful summer weather and the crew is always so personable, making the experience so much fun. I've gone on the cruise with my boyfriend, my parents and even my colleagues- it is completely appropriate and truly, truly enjoyable for any small group. I can't believe the tickets are so reasonable for what the experience is. This is hands-down one of the best value and experience in Manhattan in the summer. |
