| I really enjoyed the sailing experience and would recommend it to others. I would say however that for a weekday, a six o'clock departure is a little difficult to get to (after work and what not). I also found the ticket to be a little pricey for only two hours (which is really a little shorted since you include the docking and boarding etc.
Other then those two things, I found the staff to be extremely friendly and the views to be beautiful! Thanks ! |

| Captain & crew were excellent. The sail was beautiful - calm, relaxing and for us locals a view of Manhattan and the surrounding area we don't often get. |

Excitement and Tranquility combined.

| My girlfriend and I accompanied our friends who've been taking these Sunset Cruises for a few years. I have always wanted to sail but other than one time on a mini-kat at a Sandal's resort in the Bahama's I've not had the opportunity and never on a real sail boat.
The experiance of gliding along the Hudson, using the wind for our locomotion was astonishing. The feeling of centuries of human endeavors in the sailing arts was palpable in every graceful movement of the boat and her sails as the forces of nature were tamed and directed by the captain and crew. Though it was a short run up and down the Hudson which didn't last but more than 2 hours, the experiance was all one could imagine and more.
The service was excellent, the captain and crew gracious and accomodating hosts, full of knowledge and advice, being both informative and entertaining as they drove the boat to the Statue of Liberty and back again to her slip at Chelsea Piers.
I highly reccomend the experiance and in fact my girlfriend and I are planning our next little trip on the schooner Adirondack |

| For local New Yorkers, sometimes you pass up things that might seem too touristy or just too mobbed. This sailboat trip was a convenient, fun, and relaxing experience. The crew was friendly, the views of the city fantastic, and even though it was sold out - the number of people was just right. All in all just an around good time for a reasonable price. Would absolutely do it again and recommend it to all. |

| My fiance and I had such a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I've never been on a sailboat before and didn't believe how much fun I had. Everyone fit on the boat comfortably. I recommended this to all of my friends. I will definitely make another reservation before this summer is over.

| We had the perfect day for sailing, sunny blue sky with good wind. We had a great time. It's a lot of fun, relaxing and romantic - what more could you ask for! The crew was very nice and friendly and took the time to answer any questions we had. Can't wait for my next sail! |

| This is my third sunset cruise and I love it more each time. THe captain is full of great stories and the rest of the crew was extremely nice and helpful. My only complaint is that I unfortunately bought more tickets then i ended up using -- one friend had to cancel at the last minute becaues he was sick -- and there was no way to either get a refund or schedule for a different date the three tickets I ended up not using. I understand why this policy exists but it was unfortunate as I would definitely like to apply the three unused tickets to a future sail! |
