thoroughly enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed the sail. I dont have much to comment on in terms of suggestions other than- it would be nice if there were less people so you could move about a little more. Also, there wasnt much "sailing" involved. more of a motor boat. But still- very nice time and the crew was great! thanks for a lovely evening.

We had a great time on the Adirondack! The crew was extremely friendly and knowledgable. Eventho they say they aren't a booze cruise, there were plenty of drinks for the entire trip and my cup was never empty. For the price, it was totally worth it. I would definitely recommend this for visitors, or for locals who want a romantic evening out.

A rainy start but then a rainbow

Crew was friendly and patient. Captain (Mike, I think?) was charming and professional. Started to pour right after we got on the boat, but the crew immdiately passed out slickers to all who wanted one. Well done. Four rounds of drinks more than made up for the rain, not to mention the beautiful rainbow framing the Empire State Building. A very memorable experience. Recommended (even if it's nice and sunny)...

Great, but clean the rain jackets!

Gorgeous ride, fabulous crew, terrific event. Only complaint is that the rain jackets (which were generously provided for a brief show) smelled of mildew quite strongly and transferred to clothing.

I haven't been on too many sailboats since the course I took in college, and this excursion reminded me why I was so hooked. The captain/crew seem to truly love what they are doing and do a fabulous job of hosting and ensuring everyone is safe and at ease. If you've never sailed, there is something about coursing along sans motor as well as the way the wind and water work together that is just plain good for the soul. It is basal and visceral - beyond what you can observe and know with your brain in a similar way as when enjoyment of music or dance is edifying to something other than your intellect and conscious faculties. Maybe it's because our bodies are made up of so much water. Who knows. At any rate, it is spectacular and, by the way, very relaxing. Know how sometimes when you are physically present at something, you still feel like an observer? Well, this will put you squarely into the present. A beautiful boat only adds to the lusciousness. The sunset sail was particularly enjoyable for the combination of the sunset's golden glow against the City buildings with the serenity of the night-time twinkling skyline after the sun has set. I will definitely be checking into other excursions offered. When immersed in midtown, it is so easy to forget how close and accessible the Harbor/River area can be - what a great reminder of how many options we have here in New York City.
