| The Adirondack was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. The captain of the boat was very informative but not so much that it sounded as if she were just reciting something. It also helped that the sun came out just as we were getting to the Statue of Liberty. I would recommend this trip to everyone. |

| This trip was great! It was so nice to be on a real sailing boat with a really small crowd. We had a great trip and the crew were wonderful. Go do it people! |

| A sailing trip provides the seldom opportunity to escape noisy Manhattan. You have the chance to see the Statue of Liberty from close proximity. The crew even serves drinks. One advice: choose a weekday for your trip, there are not as many other people sailing with you. We were only about 10 and the boat was not crowded at all. |

| our guide enjoyed sailing and we all had a comfortable, pleasant, sunny sail in the Hudson. i like the sailing better than the motorized boats, more quiet and peaceful (when the wind allowed us to use sails only) |

| Having absolutely no expectations we booked this 2 hour sailing cruise around NYC harbor. Our entire group, coming from very different walks of life with very different sets of interest were all thrilled and had the best time. The schooner was clean, the crew was a lot of fun and the trip itself quite enjoyable. We would all agree to do this again and will definitely recommend it to all of our friends. |

| We booked our trip in advance, and unfortunately Hurricane Bill came through the East Coast the day we booked. Despite NYC having closed all the beaches, and really bad weather, they would not refund our money. They told us our options were to go ... they said it was a 40% chance of rain when it was actually raining on us as we had this dicussion ... or to re-schedule. We were the only party that showed up, and despite this, they were very inflexible. I don't know what they have to gain by their approach, but I wouldn't even think about booking in advance if you are not willing to go out in really bad boating weather. |

| I've never bought a ticket to anything on a more poorly designed Web Site. Good luck!
Then, forget all the BS about "weather conditions" and cancellation policy. Because it's pure BS, and nothing but...
Our "sail" left w/ exactly 2 people on board. The "customer service" on site was purely ridiculous... the "captain" said it would be the "best sail of the summer", and lightning was stricking the Hudson River.
Really, really, really a joke, a trap, and to be avoided at all costs!

| I've sailed these schooners at least twice a year for the past five years, and every trip is different and special in it's own way. The crew is always professional, but fun, and the boat is clean and comfortable. Worth every penny. Great trip for both locals and visitors, as NY is always most beautiful from the water, no matter what time of the day or year. Rain or shine, it's an experience you will cherish, and want to have again and again. |

| I have done the Adironack/Imagine cruising a few times - All but one of our group of 5 had done it before as well. I love the water and the view of Lady Liberty and the city. This trip was unique because we had a summer squall. The crew was completely prepared; dropped the mainsail early, handed out rain gear and gave us a great ride! I love this ride every time but this was a one time experience!
Only one bad thing. There were 5 of us on this trip and only one drinks beer. We thought the price included wine as well but were told that was just for the Sunset Sail. Oh well, good thing we got the $15 off discount.
For the record, the Sunset Sail is my fave - it's great to see the lights of the city come up from the water. |

| Staff was courteous and warm, the boat clean and beautiful. It was a great way to spend two hours; relaxing and basking in the sun. I only wish I had more than $5 pocket money to tip the staff! |
