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.

My husband and I delighted in the sail, and will return with friends and guests as well as recommending the activity for corporate functions. Both Captain and Crew were most gracious and delightful. Great recommendation!!!! |

birthday sail

it was my friend's birthday, and this was what she wanted for her birthday. I was worried, because she had both knees operated on 3 months ago (and still had to take pain killers) and I was afraid the whole thing would be awful.
BUT ... it was everything it could possibly be! The weather was spectacular (just enough breeze to make a good sail possible), with light clouds and wonderful sunset.
The staff was helpful, cooperative and competent and the entire complement had a wonderful time. I sailed a small sloop out of Glen Cove, Long Island, for two summers, so I knew a little bit of how much work and effort went into making this such a pleasant and seemingly effortless event.
I would recommend this short-but-oh-so-sweet sail around the harbor to absolutely anybody and everybody (although not to families with young children: it's too tough to try and make the little ones sit for 2 hours).
When I booked the cruise, I thought the price was a bit steep for a mere two hours sitting in a sailboat. But -- thanks in part to the glorious weather and the captain's experience and competence -- after my friend and I arrived back at Pier 59, we both felt we had gotten a great bargain!
Too bad my birthday's in January; otherwise I know what I'd ask for ... for sure! |

Took my wife and parents on a the Imagine for a Sunset Cruise to cap a fun day of wandering lower Manhattan, and it ended up stealing the show. A gorgeous sunset with amazing sightlines, an upbeat crew, and a laid-back experience in a hectic town made for the hi-light of the weekend. Highly recommended... |

My husband, sister-in-law and two friends surprised me with the 6p-8p Hudson Harbor sail on Saturday 8/16 as a birthday gift. It was a phenomenal experience - the crew (Captain Kat was AWESOME!!!!) was so enthusiastic and hospitable and really gave us a great experience. We loved that we could bring our own food, and really appreciated the three rounds of drinks. What a spectacular evening and a great value for the cost. I highly recommend this to anyone who lives in the area or who is visiting from out of town. LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Janet Michael |

An intimate sail boat which is such a change from the big motor boat tours.
So beautiful it was an amazing time.
Do the 7pm b/c you see the sunset which is amazing and the waterfalls and statue of liberty. Then on the way back the whole city is lite up and breathtaking.
I think the cushion seats are the best to get you can sit back and relax they serve you alchol and we brought some dips and snacks and it was PERFECT!!!
This is a must do!!! |

My husband and I live in Manhattan and this is the second time we have taken the Sunset Sail. Seeing the Statue of Liberty and skyline of lower Manhattan from the Hudson River is very special, and we certainly are looking forward to a next time.
A wonderful way to spend a summer evening! |

we felt it it would make the trip more educational if a member of the crew could give information on the various sights on both sides of the river during the cruise. many of those on board were foreign tourists.with little knowledge about what they were seeing. |

Captain Aaron and his crew, Aaron and (can't remember his name), took great care of us during the sail. They were friendly and helpful, bringing drinks whenever we wanted, and blankets when it got cool out. The crew didn't sit down for even a moment, between serving and helping the guests and sailing the boat. Capt. Aaron answered all of our questions and was also very friendly and outgoing. My husband and two sons, (15 and 20 years old), who had never done this sail before, really enjoyed seeing their hometown in this new way. It was a wonderful way to spend a summer evening! |
