Family With Children |
| We are a family of five (children ages 5, 7 and 9) The captain let our children take a long turn at the helm which they loved!
They got a little antsy by the end, so 2 hours was more than enough. |

| A cheerful crew and sunny breezes made for a pleasant trip sailing around the Hudson river between NY& NJ. From Manhattan we went near Liberty Island and Brooklyn. We were glad that we brought snacks; beverages were provided. |

Highlight of our trip!

| My assistant found this trip for us through your website.
My family (wife and three children ages 22, 19 and 15) were in town for the weekend vistiting from Chicago for a Yankees game. We knew the weather was going to be really hot and thought being on the water would be a nice way to spend the afternoon. The experience was peaceful, luxurious, and the highlight of our trip.
We will be back! |

| The Schooner Adirondack and the entire crew were fantastic. Friendly and helpful service. Great views of Manhattan, Brooklyn Bridge, Governor's Island, and the Statue of Liberty. A nice wind provided a great 2 hours of sailing. |

| This tour is a must do in New York. The staff is great, the views are amazing, and it is definitely worth the time. It doesn't get better than cruising down the Hudson from Chelsea Piers only under the power of the wind.
it starts out under power of the motor to get away from the piers, but as soon as you are in open water, they drop the sails and you head south toward the Statue of Liberty and Eilis Island.
Once they have the sails trimmed, the crew comes around and asks what type of drink you would like and then it is a relaxing two hours. You get to see Manhattan and its wonderful skyline from the water, you get up close to the Statue of Liberty and Eilis Island, and you get a cool and relaxing couple of hours on the water.
The price is not bad either.
Take the time and enjoy the Schooner Tour while you are in New York City. |

| Two hours on the Hudson with a great crew made for a perfect summer's day. Relief from the sweltering city, it must of been 20 degrees cooler on the water. Great views, great staff ,great ride. |

Family With Children |
| We were a group of 7 with four children ages 11-16. There were 5 other passengers on the 4:30PM trip. It felt like we had the boat to ourselves. The captain and his mates were very personable and even let the children take the wheel at different points.
I've done the Circle Line Cruise and other larger cruise ships as I have family in to visit, but something about being in a smaller group (the schooner capacity is 48 or 49 people) on the water in a sailboat really elevated the experience.
They serve complimentary beverages on board. The young ones had a ball-the timing was just right (at 2 hours).
I strongly recommend it. |

| It was GREAT! Good to go with someone or friends not alone like i did. It could get boring alone. |
