Climb aboard for a peaceful sail away from the noise of the city. Enjoy views of the skyline, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty.

Despite the fact that it was totally cloudy and we couldn't see the sunset, my experience was great! To sail the Hudson River is a different experience that I'd recommend to anyone that ask me for a different activity to do in New York City. The sensations are great, there's only a bunch of people aboard, and the service at the boat is really good. My family and I had a feeling of exclusivity, a fact that is difficult to find in any 'tourist' attraction around the city.

I had never heard of sailing on the Hudson before but our friends from Amsterdam had. Since it looked so cool we went along. I have to say. You have to do this atleast once. It's a great way to see the city, the river, Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great activity with visitors! I will keep this on my list for when the next groups comes to town.

Fun and Relaxing for Adults

We enjoyed our cruise very much. We had one major complaint and that was that Zerve provided the wrong Pier to meet at. We were notified by cell phone a few hours earlier but I didn't notice the message until we were at the pier frantically searching for the boat. Not being familiar with Chelsea Piers, I didn't realize that the correct pier was very close. My suggestion for future tour-takers is to check your messages and verify the pier number before you go. The cruise itself was very nice. The boat was smaller than we expected and more open than I realized it would be. We only went down the Hudson river, basically to the Statue of Liberty and back to the pier. For some reason, I thought we'd see more sites than we did. The refreshements were fine and the crew was friendly. There was no guided tour with descriptions of what we saw, but for what we saw, it wasn't necessary. The kids were a little bored until we got close to the Statue of Liberty. If you're looking for a relaxing sail-boat ride down the Hudson for 2 hours, this is very nice.

Highly Recommended and Overall Great Time

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset sail last week and really enjoyed our time. The atmosphere is great, outside on the boat with great views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan. Being from the area, it was nice viewing NYC from a different perspective other than the streets. The crew is very friendly and serve 3 generous rounds of either beer, wine, or champagne. Although they don't serve food along with the drinks, there is no restrictions on bringing outside food on so we bought some snacks beforehand. My boyfriend and I are already thinking of going on the sail again, next time with a whole group of our friends. The sail is definitely worth your time and money and I highly recommend it!
