| We really enjoyed the experience of sailing on the Hudson. The captain and crew were very personable and accommodating.
I did not however enjoy hearing cellphone conversations of other passengers.
It would be a good idea to make an announcement before leaving the pier that no cellphone conversations are allowed during the sail.

| The Sunset sail was the perfect way to show off the city to friends without the touristy commentary... i mean really the city speaks for itself, especially at sunset and especially from a sailboat with a glass of champagne! I will definitely be doing this again. |

| We took the 6pm 2 hour trip..it happened to be a beautiful day and the sun started to set for our trip. It was a great way to start up an evening. The costs may be a little steep for some, but it does include some drinks and if you plan a picnic you can enjoy food on board and not worry about dining afterward...recommended. |

| I've lived in the city for 12 years and have been on the Hudson river before when invited on a private boat but those invitations don't come often-I could do this every weekend if I wanted!!
My boyfriend and I went with two other couple and a single guy friend-we had a blast.
It was a beautiful night on the Hudson river.
And what a value.... you'd easily spend $50.00 on drinks at a crowded bar or restaurant ... this way you get to see the beautiful NYC skyline on the open water.
The staff was friendly and the whole experience was effortless-I live within walking distance of the pier so transportation was a piece of cake.
Next time I'll go on the 8:30 sail to be out under the stars. It's very romantic too!
I would also bring food, though we did go to the Chelsea Brewery afterwards for noshing.
I have recommended to all my friends and co-workers. |

| If you are lucky enough to have a good wind, bright sun, and warm weather then there might possibly be no better way to spend the start of an evening in New York City. We live downtown not far from the pier and it was an easy trip over to the dock and off into the hudson and then the harbor. Bring a camera as you will get some wonderful shots of the boat, your companion(s), and the city from the water. PLUS FREE BEER! The crew was excellent and the trip relaxed and pleasant. I highly recomend this trip. |

| I took my husband and a group of friends for my husbands' birthday. The crew were great - polite, friendly and knowledgeable. We packed a picnic dinner to take onboard and we were provided with cocktails throughout the cruise. It was a great evening - a lot of fun! Everyone in our party said they would do it again and tell friends who would also enjoy the sail.

| Perfect sailing. Peaceful trip without any engine noise. Just listen to sound of water, wind and city. Good view of the city from another perspective. Friendly crew. |

| I had an incredible time during the Sunset Sailing activity. The weather was perfect and my boyfriend (originally from NY) who is currently working in Japan absolutely loved the trip. It is an incredible way to view New York for all ages and all groups of tourists/locals. The crew was pleasant and the constant attention to comfort, warmth and drink level was unparalleled. I enthusiastically recommend this activity. |
