Classic Harbor Line

The schooner takes you up the Hudson to Liberty Island where you cruise around for a while. I recommend the Day Sail for 3 reasons: - small boat - few people to quarrel for space with: there were 11 guest and 3 crew members and everyone had plenty space to walk and sit and take all the pics they liked - quiet boat - you feel sorry for the poor people on the noisy and crowded ferries and tourist boats while you enjoy a beer on deck. awesome! - great crew - though this is not a sightseeing tour (i.e. no one will point you at buildings or show off their knowledge of history) the crew is ready to give answer any questions about the boat or the city (if they know them) I bet this is even excting for New Yorkers - pack a picknick basket, grab your girl and get on a boat!

I´m so happy that we had this fantastic opportunity to sail around Manhattan at night. The crew was totally polite and cool and has managed the shipping perfectly. The boot ist just a dream! The captain told us lots of interesting things and stories and we had an increadible view of South Manhattan, Liberty Statue, Ellies Island and also parts of New Jersey. Everybody coming to Manhattan should sail with your dream-boot and the crew. Thank you very very much. Adrienne

Thought the tour and value overall was very good. I would have liked more focus on the older architecture - the individuals on board tended to focus heavily on newer architects, and not so much on the building. Quite frankly, I don't really know architects names or really care - I do care about the history of the building, usage etc. It would have been good if they were more knowledgeable on local history, and were able to point out buildings or areas when asked. Many times they really didn't know, or had only researched a building to the extent they could name the architect or building. We were on a similar tour in Chicago a few years ago, and it was much better in terms of guides knowledge. Having said that, it was a good boat trip and provided a good overall look at Manhattan.

We had a great time on this tour - it was excellent and it was just so wonderful being out on the water on a sail boat. The crew were also great. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Lovely boat, beautiful authentic wooden motor yacht. Food was lovely, a great spread over several courses, beautifully presented including make your own waffles, ham on the bone, lovely fruit etc. The people running the boat were very friendly and welcoming and of course the views are great. It really got our visit to NY off to a delightful start. A 'must do' activity.

We had a great time on the Adirondack. Sailing on Hudson is a fantastic way to see NYC in a relaxed way. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. While we have some experience in sailboats, most of the other quests did not and I could tell that everyone was enjoying the trip. This is definitely a family friendly activity. The weather was perfect for our cruise and obviously this a factor for this activity. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we will sail again the next time we are in the city.

With a crew of 3, 9 guests and one of the best sailing days so far this year (according to the skipper), my (adult) daughter and I could not have had a better trip. Thank you so much.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable outing to Bear Mountain, which I would recommend to anyone looking to do something a little out of the ordinary while visiting New York City. Especially if you have 'done' the main attractions and have time to devote a full day to this trip. It was a perfect way to beat the heat, and the cruise up the Hudson was a delight. I've written an extensive review for my blog so I won't repeat myself here, except to say, Go if you have the time, and if you enjoy long, leisurely cruising.

Friendly crew, lovely atmosphere on board. Beautiful warm evening, Statue of Liberty a magnificent sight, Manhattan at night a joy. Definitely returning to NY and will do a different cruise with you - no hesitation in recommending,

Such a beautiful evening, a terrific setting from which to view Manhatthan. Lady Liberty was magnificient! The crew were friendly, the service wonderful We had a lovely time A great family memory of our trip to NYC

Friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise (fabulous weather helped) but it was well organised, crew were friendly and the drinks were cold - what more do you need on a Friday evening!

Sailing on the Hudson River at sunset is a great way to get an up close view of the Statue of Liberty and the skyline of Manhattan. My family really enjoyed the experience. It was very pleasant to sail the Hudson with the boats sails set, and to watch the sun setting and lights emerging on the city's buildings. We'd highly recommend this activity to people of all ages.

I'm a sailor and own a small 22 ft sailboat so this sail was extremely appreciated. Weather was very good and the wind was up so in addition to the incredible sights of New York City we had a fantastic sail. The boat is a delight to be sailed. I also appreciated very much the opportunity to join the crew in hoisting the sails. Excellent and polite service by the crew.

Captain Andrew and his crew were fantastic, such an excellent trip, inexpensive, exhilarating and a fantastic experience. The crew were knowlegeable and very friendly, we both felt totally safe and at ease on the yacht.

The two-hour afternoon sail on the Adirondack III was without doubt one of the highlights of of our trip to New York. The views are spectacular and the staff are exceptionally friendly and good humoured. Highly recommended (as is the Brooklyn Pale Ale that was on offer the day I went).
