Classic Harbor Line

.

We were a group of 7 with four children ages 11-16. There were 5 other passengers on the 4:30PM trip. It felt like we had the boat to ourselves. The captain and his mates were very personable and even let the children take the wheel at different points. I've done the Circle Line Cruise and other larger cruise ships as I have family in to visit, but something about being in a smaller group (the schooner capacity is 48 or 49 people) on the water in a sailboat really elevated the experience. They serve complimentary beverages on board. The young ones had a ball-the timing was just right (at 2 hours). I strongly recommend it.

It was GREAT! Good to go with someone or friends not alone like i did. It could get boring alone.

From start to finish, a pleasant way to enjoy Manhattan and Lady Liberty. Chelsea Piers is a nice place to embark. The crew was cordial and friendly. They seemed to enjoy the ride as much as the touristos on board. Fortunately, the weather was almost perfect (a bit more of a breeze and I think we would have sailed a bit more with the engines off). A pleasant and refreshing after-dinner activity. I would do this again with family or friends.

My date and i had a great time on the sail weather was great Crew and captain were great!! Highly recomend this trip to anybody

From the moment we stepped on board the boat, our fun began. We were immediately offered a wide range of refreshments and nothing was too much trouble for the guys on board. They all had a good sense of humour and were also very informative about the sights. The boat was comfortable and very clean and the trip will remain a fantastic memory of mine and my husband's trip to New York! Many thanks, Jo and Rich Torr

It was supposed to be raining that day, but luckily is was a beautiful day. My bf and I get to shared this gorgeous and beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline and the taste of the wine. I highly recommended people, family, and friends to try it out.. =D

the boat and crew were lovely. As a manhattanite I was delighted that the crowd is kept small with plenty of room to move about, etc. With no wind the ride is pretty boring, just down the hudson a few miles and back up... like sailing in the bath-tub. Obviously, nothing anyone can do about that. I would love to do again soon on a day I knew we'd get plenty of wind. It was so nice. Thanks. Barb C. PS, the kid I brought with me was 12. She loved it. I don't think younger kids would have enjoyed.

My boyfriend & I enjoyed the beautiful night, it was our first time ever sailing all he spoke about it is when are we doing it again. recommended for families, friends & couples enjoy....................

The cruise was so beautiful. We were on the sunset cruise and once we got out on the water and the captain turned the motor of, it was heaven. The captain was especially nice and the crew very efficient. It's going to be on my list of things to tell visitors to New York to do.

My husband and I sailed with a group of about 20 people to celebrate the birthday of a sailing enthusiast. The weather was fine for a sail, the birthday boy got to steer the boat, and a swell time was had by all.

Seeing New York's skyline from the water offers us a wonderful perspective that we don't often get to have. Viewing New York at twilight, with everything lit up is just a treat. It reminds us all of why we live here! We got to see the 4 temporary waterfalls (albeit from a distance) in lower Manhattan, which we had also been wanting to do. The captain, who had been our host last year, when we had done this same trip with some of the same friends, was informative and we enjoyed his wry sense of humor.

It felt like we were on a short vacation! I highly suggest getting to the pier early and grabbing a drink outdoors before getting on the boat....it will extend the amount of time you feel like you're away from the big city! The boat was beautiful and and the weather was perfect! Also, the staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

This activity is a wonderful way to show your love one some quality time in traquility and stressfree with a beautiful view of New York City.

Wind in your face, an occational splash and friendly courteous service. The crew was funny and well skilled. My husband and I enjoyed the entire experience and look forward to sharing it with our children next time.
