| Nice people, not too crowded and good service. Surprised that we actually sailed and the peaceful and windy boat trip was very relaxing. We were lucky to see a wonderful sight of manhattan and a spectacular sunset.
All in all an experience I d never want to miss! |

| This was an excellent way to spend a hot summer evening with friends. It was cool and refreshing on the Imagine, with plenty of champagne to enjoy. It was a very special place for a picnic. |

| We had a wonderful time on this sail! The crew was friendly and helpful, and the boat was comfortable and very nice. It was a beautiful view of the city and the Statue of Liberty and a wonderful time of day to be out on the water. Such a nice tour - I bought tickets as a surprise date for my boyfriend and was so happy with how it turned out. I would definitely go again - it would also be a great thing to do with out of town visitors. I can't say enough good things about it! |

| Great experience for a great price. Sailing around New York Harbor for two hours, relaxing, taking in the amazing views, and being served wine/champagne/beer all for $50 per person. Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Close to the top of the list of things I've done in NY price aside, but even higher on the list when considering the value proposition. |

| I easily booked this sail cruise from home, before getting to NYC. It was a birthday presend for my girlfriend, and I briefly stated it on the comments during the reservation process. We did a 7 to 9 pm sunset cruise.
We were very lucky to get an excellent weather, it must be said, but our both overall impression was just great. Really. A am not a sailorman, but I like to sail. I like the sea. It was not the firs sailing experience for me. For my fiancée, yes. And she usually suffers of seasickness.. oh my..
We were welcomed aboard by the friendly captain and two smiling young helpers. We seated on the deck, instead than in the back. After some short and funny safety instructions, we started sailing by engine. The boat is really a nice one. I'm not an expert, but is a big one, wooden deck, elegant, two "trees" (?). It was stable with little rolling all the time, no risk of seasickness at all. ..ffffiuuu...
the tour starts from the west side of Manhattan, goes south to Liberty island, and back. not under any bridge, pity.
About 60% was sailing, the rest by engine. The captain is a nice guy: at the middle of the sail, he loudly called my girl's name, and called for a birthday song! All the people there (about 20, all from US, and must say, pretty well dressed compared to us... :-) started to sing and welcome her. She really was truly amazed, and happy! It was a surprise for me to. A very kind one.
The two guys on board, pretty expert sailers, a boy and a girl, were really going on 150% to do the sailing duties, and taking care of all us. They repetedly offered drinks, always gently. The website says it is not an alcohol-driven experience, but they were not saving it.. i.e, we (ehm.. me...) had a couple of cold beers, a glass of sparkling wine, and plenty of water. Others had more, or different. This is not what makes the difference, but I must say it was more than I expected.
What was best is spending a couple of hours in the fresh breeze (not cold at all), after a long day sightsteen around, with great views and a very friendly atmosphere, either by yourself of chatting with the rest of the people.
Although I never tried a dining cruise - another classic option - I would say it is greater then it: there the boats a way bigger, with many more people, loud live music, maybe limited view outboard and eventually the noise of the engines. This is, all at all, my personal opinion.
At the end: a very peacefull, gentle, but fun and rewarding experience.
Great for couples on a date or a particular event - an italian friend of mine would call it a ..."stendi-gnocca experience" (up to you to find what it means... ). Very good for visitors to end the day just before dinner, fun for a little group of tranquill friends.
Anytime is excellent: but living the sunset onboard was special. The night cruise must be great as well. just remember a sweather. |
