| While we enjoyed the sail, we were disappointed that we did not get out in time to see the sunset. By the time we were under way, the sun had sunk behind NJ. My suggestion would be to move the departure time up to match up with the actual sunset. The sail was fun, and there was plenty of wine for all and our topside was full. It would have been nice if the captain had some kind of speaker/communication device as she had to shout to give directions and only those closest to her could actually hear her. It would be nice if there was some narration as to the various points of interest. There were plenty of blankets if you wanted one. |

| Even though the weather was not supposed to be amazing- it turned out to be a beautiful cruise. The sunset was gorgeous and the trip as a whole was perfect. The crew- exceptionally nice and warm and friendly. Perfect for a date! |

| I took my daughter on this sail for her 29th birthday. The boat was not new but beautifully maintained. The awesome friendliness and professionalism of the captain and crew make this company's sails exceptional--the service experience is equally fine on its glass-topped yacht The Manhattan. Lots of international tourists (you could tell not only by accented English and conversation in other languages but by the rush to take pictures with the Statue of Liberty in the background) but not only couples, so a mother/adult daughter didn't feel like we'd tripped into a couples-only event, and passengers were of a wide range of ages. The captain's joy in her work was infectious, the weather was perfect. Not least, the complimentary, excellent wine and premium beer, as well as champagne which I didn't taste, were freely served, unlike sails I've been on for the same price where only a half glass of champagne is given and anything else must be purchased--I think our server came around 4-5 times and poured generously. Best of all is the absence of a touristy herd activity feeling: locals have figured out this is a great way to relax on the water without actually owning a schooner. This sail earns six stars on your five-star system! |

| This was a great event for a date. We had a beautiful night. Be forewarned: they pack people in on the boats (about 30 for mine), so pick your spot to sit carefully. We were lucky to be on the "sunset side" and a bit away from some of the other groups. |

| It was raining when we showed up, but the crew was eager to go so we waited out the showers. The sail itself was fantastic and the crew was extremely friendly and accommodating the entire trip.
Highly recommended. |

| Unforgettable. My 12 year old enjoyed it just as much as the newlywed visitors whom we took on the boat ride. The weather was perfect, the views out of this world and the price could not be beat for this fun, relaxing and unique experience. We really liked the deck hands who served the beverages. Some of the guests took advantage of the liberal offerings of alcohol and seemed too tipsy to realize that they are actually on a boat with others and not in the privacy of their bedroom. Otherwise, this was the best time one could have on a nice evening in NYC. |
