Sunset Sail aboard the Schooners Adirondack

We started the day (a Monday) at the Tenement Museum, walked to Balthazar for lunch and then took the subway to the High Line for a walk to where the line ends. Followed that with a drink at Morans before walking over to Chelsea Piers. Arrived a bit early for the cruise and not much to do at the Piers so we had a few more drinks at Jasons. Should have stayed longer at Morans but we thought there would be a lot to do and see at the piers. There isn't. The Adirondack sunset cruise started on time at 6.45 and we enjoyed it thoroughly. A light sprinkling of rain was thwarted by rain coats which were quickly distributed. We took some pastries from Balthazar to eat with the champagne provided on board (generous serving of champagne - declined a 4th glass) but people had all sorts of nibblies with them. It was a great way to finish a big day and our only disappointment was that the two restaurants we were aiming for a few minutes away from the piers (Red Cat and Tia Pol) were both full when we arrived after the cruise. Highly recommend the cruise for any age group. Age mix varied from 20's up to 60's. The boat was full but we didn't feel at all cramped.

We absolutely loved this sunset sailing cruise! The staff was funny, friendly, and very helpful! They acted like they really enjoyed what they do and they even wanted to take pictures of everyone. This was probably one of our favorite things we did on our trip to NYC. I strongly recommend it! Luckily we only had a few drops of rain on our cruise, so it ended up being a perfect night :) Thank you for such a wonderful time!

My girlfriend and I decided to take my parents who were visiting from England on the sunset sail on their last night here. What a smashing way to end their holiday - the crew were great, and even though it was a bit cloudy, we all had a great time. Would recommend to anyone! Cheers!

Great Beers! So-So (local...=) ) wines & bubbly

Wonderful and well worth the money!!

What a great way to spend a sunny, breezy evening. Beautiful boat and very friendly and experienced crew. We were lucky with the weather- a nice breeze and clear skies. So much more relaxing than the party boats that go past. Made it all the way down to the statue of liberty and even as frequent visitors to New York it was lovely to see the views under the peace of sail rather than from a ferry. A real highlight of our trip and i would recommend. We will definitely do it again.

My husband and son and I visited NYC for Memorial Day weekend. This sailing experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Captain Kat and her crew were great. When she turned off the engines and we sailed down the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty it was wonderful and peaceful. The two hours went by so fast and we hated to see the excursion end. Would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.

My husband and I live in Brooklyn, and decided to go on a sunset tour for our anniversary. The boat was beautiful, and the crew was helpful, fun, and very willing to answer questions (what's that thing in the water over there? isn't your job hard work? can i get some more beer?). We left right on time, and the whole thing ran very smoothly. They said they'd come around with a few rounds of drinks, but eventually I had to turn them away after my champagne glass was refilled for about the fourth time! The other people on the boat seemed to be a good mix of locals celebrating birthdays and tourists looking for a relaxing way to spend an evening. Definitely a low-key way to see the city from another point of view. Highly recommended!!

This was our second time on the sail, once at sunset and once for midnight. Both have their advantages. Sunset is great because you can truly sightsee in the daylight, yet the temperatures are cooling off and the sunset is usually great. The midnight cruise is very romantic, more time spent enjoying your company with the city as a backdrop. Either way, the view of Manhattan from the water is priceless. And considering the ticket price includes several drinks (up to 3), it is one of the best values around!

THE SAIL WAS GREAT - WITH A GREAT CREW!
