| We had a great time ! The sailboat was awesome, the weather was not good when we arrived in NYC, but the skies cleared and by the time the boat was ready to sail, the sun was shining. All of us had an excellent time, and I would recommend this activity to everyone. I liked it so much that I am thinking of doing it again ! |

| If you want to experience NYC tourism from a unique perspective, something a little different than a bus with a yakking guide, then this is a sure bet. The boat is an all wooden craft in the classic style and its two masts (not a yawl, y'all) put up an impressive spread of canvas. For a while it actually felt like sailing except for a minor detail; the motor was never turned off. Alas, I ignored the vibration drumming the hull and focused on enjoying the experience anyway. After all, the crew was friendly, it was a fine day with a decent wind, Adirondack heeled nicely, and each tack was well executed. For a geezer with no expectations, it was well worth it. |

| We sailed on the Imagine on a clouudy blustery day, but it was a far better way to tour the bay than on the motor cruisers. Informal friendly crew made us feel very welcome, and gave us a chance to take the helm. Whilst there was no tour talk, questions to the crew gave a much kore individual perspective on the sights in the bay. |

| Very happy to have chosen the sail boat rather than a motor boat. The weather was nice, the crew were attentive, and the views were great. Our only concern was the cost to value ratio. While we gladly tipped the crew, we thought the trip itself was a bit pricey.
Taking away the cost factor, the trip was fun, the crew was informed and nice, and even the other passengers were enjoyable to sail with on a beautiful afternoon. |

| The Captain and Crew were professional yet friendly and informative. I was reconnecting with an old friend from Florida. We both used to sail and work on boats together so probably had higher expectations than most customers. That said, we had an amazing sail and fun was had by our entire party. Many thanks. |

| It would have been nice if the trip went around to the other river where the South Street Seaport was on. Going down to the Statue of Liberty and back was nice but it could have covered more ground, especially when we had 2 hours. |

| We felt that more tacking and less motoring would have made the trip more exciting as the wind was fresh.
The captain and crew were excellent and did their jobs professionally
We were disappointed that the time of 2 hours advertised was only 1 hour 40 mins. otherwise it was a great experience. |
