Great excursion!

We took the sunset tour the first night of our vacation in New York. What a perfect way to start! The boat is beautiful, the crew was awesome and the city views were spectacular. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this!

Hazy, lazy, lovely cruise

...so my fiance was surprised. I made her wait for me at Ruthy's and she thought we were doing a dinner cruise or maybe a trip on the Circle line. She was thrilled and visibly nervous when I pointed out the Adirondack in all her quiet glory! All in all, we loved it, the boat is beautiful and the crew attentive and friendly. It was hazy so the sun wasn't very visible as it set, but somehow the Hudson turned pink and lilac anyway... and there's nothing better than staring up at Lady Liberty from the bay. Last thing, I really appreciated the fact that they stocked local NY brews... Go for the Porkslap Ale. Will be back and since I get to the Keys a couple times a year, will try and find her down there this winter.

Great trip

I'm a native NYer (Brooklynite) and was looking for a special activity for my fiance, as it was his birthday. He has sailed before, though it had been several years, and we both love sailing. I didn't know about this activity until I saw an article in AMNY. It was exactly what I wanted. I opted for the sunset sail and it couldn't have been any better. Perfect weather, clear skies, and the best sunset as we approached the Statue of Liberty. The cost for what you get beats any cheesy NYC tourist activity and the crew was great. I'll most certainly do this again in the future.

My wife and I got married on a schooner, and each year we celebrate our anniversary on a sailboat. This trip was spectacular. Interesting guests, wonderful crew, and great sparkling wine to boot! Highly recommended to locals.

Beautiful Experience

I strongly recommend the Schooner boat ride for anybody whether it be for a date or with just a group of friends. We had a beautiful day to take the sunset ride out of Chelsea and it was a great experience. The crew was great! They were friendly and seemed to be very experienced. Guys if you want to score points make this a first date it is well worth it. The views of NYC are beautiful and seeing Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty up close was great. I would definately like to do this again and do the moonlight tour.

Fantastic 2h Getaway

This was the 3rd time I have down the Sunset Sail with visitors and I would do it again. We enjoyed the smooth sailing, the sunset, and of course, the drinks. The sailing crew was definitely not cheap when it came to refills. However, the sail is not a booze cruise. Just a wonderful way to hang out with friends or family on a boat while enjoying the NYC skyline and sunset.

We had a great time, the sail and crew was great, but the champagne tasted terrible. you can go for a cheap option such as prosecco.
