| My wife and I went for a "date" on this sailboat and can't wait to go again. The crew was freindly and the service was fantastic. We are New Yorkers and found this to be an excellent deal in New York. They serve about three rounds of drinks. The only down side is it was over too soon. Can't wait to go again. We might bring the kids next time. |

| I had been on this cruise last summer (Aug. 2007) with a group of family members & had a great time, so when my husband & I & another couple decided on a weekend getaway this summer (July 2008), I suggested we do the cruise, based on my experience last year. This year proved to be even better in that we had a beautiful summer night (6-8 pm) with a bit of a wind, which made things a little more adventurous for all aboard. The Captain and staff of 2 were more than accommodating in keeping our safety in mind, but allowing the customers to have a good time with the drinks flowing. The only thing I would recommend which was different this year than last is that there wasn't any commentary as to what we were looking at (unless we asked). It would have been helpful to have some sort of guidance as to what some of the buildings were that we passed in the downtown core, as well as some history of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty (& probably better tips for the staff!). All in all, we had a great few hours on the water, followed by dinner in Chelsea. I would highly recommend the cruise and would also recommend this if I was planning a Corporate outing for a large group (20-50) from out of town. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our experience aboard the Adirondak. The tour was wonderfully different than any other cruise around Manhattan island -- e.g., we got to watch the crew and boat "work" amidst the Manhattan background. In addition, we were fortunate to have excellent sailing weather. |

| The sail was definitley worth it. It was by far the best way to see the Statue of Liberty. It was a nice time to sit, relax and enjoy after the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. The sunset was amazing to watch as it set right behind Lady Liberty. Note: Bring some snacks/picnic (nice cheese and fruit etc..) it will make the sail that much more special. |

| The Schooner tooled around New York Harbor, but did not venture towards or under the Brooklyn Bridge. This is a mistake. Also, it could have ventured under or near the Verrazano Bridge. For $100 per couple , it was a bust.
The crew was nice enough, and they supplied my wife with, perhaps, too much champagne, but all told, the crew was fine. |

So worth doing!

| This is our first time with the sail boat (we had been out on the Adirondak), and everyone in our party loved it. It's a great way to show first time guests to New York, a special perspective of the Manhattan landscape. Really, really nice crew! |

| It really doesn't get much better than sipping chilled white wine while gently sailing by the manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as the sun goes down and city lights come up. The weather wasn't great the evening we sailed, heavy cloud obscured the sunset, and it was still a wonderful and memorable experience. The captain and crew were extremely friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended if you are looking for something off the usual tourist track or if you're looking to impress a date! |
