| We really enjoyed the 2hr sail. The captain has a passion for sailing and knows sailing. If you are looking for any information about New York or the area (even what you see on the tour), then you will not get it here. We were treated very nicely by the staff and captain and given a lot of information about the boat, but there was nothing about what we saw when sailing by. It would have been nice to hear some information about New York, the Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and/or Ellis Island. So, if you are not expecting a "tour", then this is great. |

| Great trip with a grandchild or a child ages 9-17.
Peter, the skipper, was excellent....cheerful and informative, and the other 2 crew were swell. The best part, of course, is under sail. |

| Nice relaxing unobtrusive way to see NYC from the water. The crew are professional and courteous. Even though the weather wasn't good the day we went in terms of sun it made for great sailing in terms of wind. Excellent couple of hrs I'd recommend it. |

Reminded me of my childhood summers in Cornwall.

| I took my sister on this sail to celebrate her upcoming wedding. We had such a nice time. It was very relaxed and informal; the crew was welcoming and friendly. The boat was absolutely beautiful. We brought lobster rolls from The Lobster Place in Chelsea Market, and the crew gave us cold cans of beer to drink. The ride was breezy and beautiful -- we sailed down the southern tip of Manhattan and right past the Statue of Liberty. My sister and I talked as the waves lapped around the boat, and the sails swept us along quickly. It really reminded us of our childhood summers spent sailing in Cornwall, England, even though the city here was obviously much bigger! By the end, we were lying on the boat, looking up at the full sails, and hearing the water and seagulls around us. For a moment, it was hard to believe we were in NYC!
I would highly recommend the trip -- I plan to take my parents when they next come to visit, and my little brother already took his girl friend on the evening sunset sail (they loved it, too). |

| The crew was extremely friendly and answered any questions we had. The boat was very clean and very impressive. We would definitely recommend it to people for a way to spend a relaxing afternoon. |

| we truely enjoyed the sail. We were fortunate since there were only six of us on the boat plus crew since people cancelled due to impending rain. The crew was friendly and the statue of liberty looked incredible on the cloudy day!! |

| I thought the
Captain was fairly cold. Also, given the price of the actvity I don't think the mild pressure to tip the crew just because they brought
you a bottle of water to be inappropriate.

| I found this activity by doing a search on the Internet. It was much nicer than I could have ever expected. The ship was very nice and comfortable. The crew was outstanding in their hospitality and friendliness. There were mothers and their children on board for the sail, and the captain was very attentive to their safety, while at the same time making it special for the kids. Of course, it didn't hurt that it was a beautiful day in NYC. :) My wife and I have a wonderful time. We'd love to do it again with our out of town guests, or maybe even try the sunset sail. |

| It was a wonderful afternoon on the Hudson River in a beautiful sailboat powered only by the wind. Small enough to feel the speed and the breeze but big enough not to get wet or scared. It made the weekend! |
