| Recently entertaining a guest from Canada, I wanted to show a gentler side of NYC. This experience was quiet, exciting, unique & economical. Our captain & crew represented the best of the city...well-mannered, helpful & hospitable. |

Very relaxing getaway from the city

| The weather was bad, we were in the Majestic, it was a cloudy day and some light rain fell on us. I still very much enjoyed feeling like i was so far from all the chaos of the city. It was a nice getaway, very romantic. Only problems I would say were that my girlfriend said she couldn't relax since the boat can tilt to one side pretty good, and not really any railing to hold on to if your sitting towars the center of the boat like us. Some recommendations would be some kind of spaced out compartments where you can put your bags or personals, and also some kind of railing on the middle area so maybe you can sit and have your legs through the railing, if that makes sense. It would make the trip much more relaxing if you are not able to get a seat in the front part of the boat. Overrall I enjoyed it, my girlfriend if just a little scaredy cat, hah. |

| Needs more commentary from the crew. A few historical notes/pointers are badly needed. |

| Perfect in every way. Even though the weather wasn't great - the sailing experience was. The crew was friendly and courteous and it was great from start to finish. I've already recommended it to friends who will be taking it later this month. |

| We have grown kids that live in NYC so we're always looking for diversions to get us off our feet for a little bit when we visit. The schooner trip was perfect. Lovely day for a sail. We only wished that there was more sailing and less motoring, but I guess that was the wind and time factor. Also, it would be nice if there was a little narration about what we were passing on shore. The crew was great at relating facts if you asked, but you don't want to be a pest. The mates were very attentive, always there with a beer or water. I'm not a beer drinker, so a little champagne or white wine alternative would have been really nice. I would certainly recommend the trip to anyone. Enjoyed seeing the waterfalls. |

| We had a wonderful time. Awesome weather. The boat is lovely. Our crew was really friendly. And of course the NY Skyline provides the perfect backdrop. We're so glad we went. |

| Although there was a considerable breeze, the crew didn't seem to take as much advantage of it as possible, or as much as I've had on past trips. Other boats were heeling and moving much faster than ours. Also, there could/should have been more commentary of the sights passed. |

| had a great time!! my parents were in town for the weekend so them, myself and 3 friends went on the day sail on a sunday afternoon. we had a great time! its just a relaxing few hours on the water. we had a few drinks, enjoyed the weather and the scenery, and caught up. the only thing i would call out is that there isnt much of a "tour" - no one is really calling out what you're seeing. so if thats what you're looking for, this might not be the ride for you. but for a relaxing time on the water...its perfect! |

| We really enjoyed this little trip to the Stautue of Liberty and back. It was great to see New York from a quiet and relaxing perspective. Thanks for the attentive crew; we lacked for nothing. |
