Ultimate Relaxation on the Hudson
Fri, Aug 29  4:30 PM joannad Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
I will first begin by highly recommending the Day Sail on the Schooner Adirondack. A group of friends and I decided last minute to go on the Schooner Adirondack. Before the sailing excursion, my spirits were down because I was not going to be able to go to the beach or on a short trip for Labor Day Weekend due to a busy work schedule. From the moment we set sail from Chelsea Piers, I felt like I was in another world. The crew was very attentive and personable. You feel as if you are on your own private schooner on an adventure. The views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge are picturesque. We all stepped off the boat feeling a lightness to our step. I definitely recommend it to visitors and locals. My sailing trip is going to become a regular outing when I want to get away from the world for a few hours.

I would recommend this sail to anyone

My girlfriend and I had a great time. It was very romantic. The crew was excellent and very attentive to our needs. We are native New Yorkers and don't always take the time to enjoy what our great city has to offer. This was one of our finer moments.

Beautiful day and a lovely sail. Too short.

Everything lovely. Crew cordial. Slight delay in sailing but no problem. I wish they would describe some of the sights a little - even as New Yorkers we did not know what we were looking at some of the time. Had no idea the Lackawanna Railrod had a terminal in N.J. and supplies were ferried across the river into NY. I asked crew member and he explained. It was a very pleasant two hours.

Repeat visit, booked before we left the UK and it did not dissappoint. Adirondack last year, Imagine this; friendly helpful skippers, efficent, cheerful crew and maximum time under sail. I recommend these guys thoroughly.

Lower Hudson & Statue of Liberty
Sat, Aug 23  2:00 PM obsoperator Male 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
We had a glorious day for sailing on Saturday, August 23, 2008. We boarded the Imagine right on time, with about 2/3 of us sitting on the edge of the cabin, with our feet towards the lifelines (railings) at the edge of the boat, and 1/3 on upholstered seats in the cockpit. There was plenty of room for the crew to pass between us and the lifelines to do their sailing work. One passenger had a cane, and the crew helped two people with small roller-bags by loading the bags. The boarding is not difficult, but is similar to climbing a step-stool and then across a very small gap to the deck. There was a stiff wind from the South, so we had to tack all the way to the Statue of Liberty, which we got right "in front" of, before turning to run (i.e. "before the wind") back to Chelsea Piers. The web site holds out the possibility to (and does NOT promise to) go as far as the Brooklyn Bridge, time and weather permitting. But because it took 1 1/2 hours to get to Ellis and Liberty Islands, there was no hope of passing close by the "Waterfall" sculptures in the East River, as I had hoped we would. I had to be content with a long distance view of the two most southerly "Waterfalls". The crew offered soft drinks, Budweiser, and Coors Light four or five times. As mentioned in their literature, I had brought our own pretzels and cheese, because we hadn't had lunch. The ship was extremely clean and comfortable, the crew pleasant and helpful, and we were back close to the appointed time. It was a wonderful outing.

Great way to see Upper New York Bay
Thu, Aug 21  3:30 PM mrhaynes90 Male 30-39 Combination Family Without Children
This is a great way to see New York City and the Statue of Liberty from the water. The boat can only handle about 20 passengers at most along with the three-man crew. It is not crowded at all though. The staff is very pleasant and provided free drinks. If you've already done the Circle Line tour or other larger boat tours this is a great alternative at a reasonable price. It helps when the weather is perfect too!
