| Beautiful sunset cruise on a Saturday night. The captain and crew were very attentive and passed out blankets for those who needed them and then served champagne, wine, and soda. It was a fun trip and it seemed to end too soon. |

| I took my girlfriend out on the schooner for our anniversary and we had such an amazing time. The crew was incredibly friendly and helpful. I was hoping that there wouldn't be many people on the schooner and it turned out to be a perfect group. If you want a little more solitude (especially if you are taking someone special) I would recommend sitting in the front. We barely noticed the other "passengers" on board and had the views of the city right in front of us.
I would def take this trip again. It's a nice escape from the chaos of NYC. |

| I did this activity the other day with my boyfriend as part of our annual celebration, and it was quite lovely. The staff was friendly, the ride was nice and slow, and the scenery was magnificent. The staff will serve drinks and blankets, and are really nice to you. We enjoyed this 2-hour ride around the Hudson River. Even though we've seen this all before because we're from around New York, we still had a good time because it was just the right mood, and the weather was beautiful. We definitely recommend you try it! |

| We took the trip on a Friday evening, finishing up just at sunset. The schooner Imagine sailed precisely on time, after our captain Tom introduced himself and his crew. The boat can only accommodate a small number of people (which is good) and we had a quick safety briefing before we set sail.
We were under sail power for some of the time, but the wind wasn't enough to see us through the full two hours. Listening to just the flutter of sails on a calm, sunny evening on the river was just perfect.
The trip took us down the Hudson and across to the Statue of Liberty, taking in the superb skyline of the lower west side and Battery Park on the way down and back.
Drinks are included in the price of the cruise, but this is very definitely not, as the company says, a 'booze cruise' and anyone who thinks it is shouldn't book it.
For visitors, this knocks the socks off the Staten Island ferry, even if you're paying for it, and I'm sure it's miles ahead of other commercial trips around Manhattan.
Fantastic...couldn't recommend it highly enough. |

| i took my boyfriend and surprised him. he loved it. neither one of us had been on a sail boat and it was an amazing experience. since we went on the sun set trip it was great b/c it was daylight when we got on but we saw the sun set and the city lights on the way back. the whole experience was amazing, especially with the bubbly..thanks |

| We went on a sunset sail in early October. It was a lovely way to see Manhattan, sipping champagne as darkness fell, and the Schooner was very comfortable. The crew were also very pleasant and professional. |

Great trip!

| This was my second cruse on the Schooner Adirondack -- first time with family, this time with business associates. Relaxing, beautiful, peaceful, and interesting. |
