| First of all, I bought the tickets for my girlfriend and her parents, so I obviously needed everything to go right! In fact, I had totally screwed up by purchasing tickets for the week after we were supposed to go, not paying attention to the dates that were in the box on the ticket sales webpage. The business was able to change my tickets hassle free on the day of the cruise (though since the schooner wasn't sailing that day, I was switched to the Manhattan yacht -- which was great as well!).
As we were sailing the rivers, I felt sorry for the people on the other ships that we passed by -- and I felt lucky I did not reserve with them! Our ship was very small by comparison, which was a huge advantage. But our cruise only had about 15 people on the 45 max. capacity ship, so we may have been luckier than most. The 1 1/2 hour cruise was the perfect amount of time and we were blessed with great weather. I don't know how much extra we paid to be on a "better" ship, but it was worth it for the type of occasion I was on. |

| We both thought the trip was very enjoyable and plan subsequent outings with this team again. Perhaps something a little longer in time, and a bit more intimate> |

I had a lot of fun

| The schooner was lovely but would have been a nice touch to give warm tea or hot cocoa to the guests on board. It is a summertime activity, but if the ride happens in the chilly days of the late fall, perhaps some warm beverages should be offered.
Also, I was led to believe there would be some wine which was nowhere to be found. A cold beer on a cold day never sounds enticing.
I could have done better sitting on the dock, sipping something warm and watching the boats go by instead of wearing 5 layers of clothing and still freeze my bones off for $40. |

| What a great experience, friendly, informative staff, a well equipped boat and even a couple of beers!
I highly recommed this activity. It was fun, we had a great view of the island and a close up view of the Statue Of Liberty. I would definitely do this again. |

Great afternoon out!

| I really wish the crew members would have pointed out the sights as we went past. Maybe told a bit of history as appropriate. Maybe told a little about the ship. A lot of tourists had no idea of what they were seeing, |
