| The crew was really nice, free drinks all around, and great views of the city. If you like sailing, it's a very nice little cruise for the money. |

| This is a hidden gem in NYC. I'm a local, but thoroughly enjoy the day sailing trips through SailNYC. Albeit a bit touristy, it's really not - the crew doesn't crack cheesy jokes or bother you with announcements. They man the boat and let you enjoy the beautiful views and an ice cold beer. Highly recommend this trip - a great price and a lovely way to spend an afternoon in New York. |

| Well run day sail around NY Harbor. Captain paid special attention to two 10 or 11 year boys, letting them man the helm while he stood next to them. Good service from two other crew members. Lots of fun in a steady 20mph wind out of the SSW. |

| Highly recommend, especially to celebrate a special occaision. I was confused when ordering tickets. I thought there was a max of 6 tickets; so I only purchased 6. I would have brought along additional people, if I knew the size and capacity of the ship. |

| Good sail. Beautiful weather. But the Captain misjudged the time it would take to sail to the Statue of Liberty and the the Waterfalls... so, in the end, we were just making circles in front of Chelsea Piers for like 25 minutes.... He was so afraid of not getting back on time I guess. |

| We had a perfect day for sailing, a little windy and very sunny. There were a lot of other boats on the water, including cruise ships, but we successfully navigated around them and right past the Statue of Liberty. I loved that there was no cheesey music and no lame talking from the crew. It was very relaxing and fun! The ad said beer and wine but it was only beer. |

| The sail was okay and reasonably priced. The crew are very friendly and pleasant, we had a beautiful day, and maybe I expected too much. But it was pretty much like, we sailed out, cruised past the Statue of Liberty, and sailed back in. I was sitting towards the front of the boat so maybe I missed some stuff going on in the cockpit or something, but I didn't hear much in the way of descriptions of what we were seeing or the actual work of sailing the boat. We took some hard turns which were scary for my girlfriend, although I enjoyed it. She also got sprayed pretty good with some water over the bow, so if you're not into that sit towards the back. We were also sitting near two couples with a bunch of loud and unruly kids, so that also detracted from the experience. I would recommend this for out-of-town tourists because there are some great views of the city from the water, but if you're local you probably won't be overly thrilled with it. |

| This is the third time my family and friends have sailed on the Schooner Adirondack and I can't recommend it enough. My aunt (native New Yorker) turned us onto this hidden gem and we can't get enough of it. It is a wonderful way for tourists to get a different perspective of the city. The crew is wonderful, always answering questions and generally seeming interested in chatting with guests. It is a cheap, fun excursion, I would suggest it to anyone visiting the city! |
