| 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. |

| After a long time of trying to take our sail during good weather, my girlfriend and I finally decided to just book it. We were nervous at first when the forecast called for thunderstorms and the sail was not rescheduled, but we ended up going anyway. The weather (despite being overcast and threatening) held out and it did not end up raining- as good as we could have hoped for during a New York summer.
The sail turned out to be very enjoyable- the crew members were incredibly friendly and competent and the captain was very personable. They constantly came around offering complimentary drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Though it was not a private sail (there were probably around 30 people on the boat), it was spacious enough so that one could either ignore the crowd or enjoy its company.
My only real criticism of the experience is the no-refund policy and the late notice of whether or not the sail will be cancelled due to bad weather. I do understand that the forecast calls for rain most days of the summer and that it would be impossible to run a business if sails were cancelled for slight rain, but I would have preferred to have the option of getting my money back (although I was very happy we went in the end). I also would have like to see the sunset, but obviously this is something that is entirely out of the crew's hands, and they do warn you on the website that sunset sails may or may not include the sunset.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend this sail to anyone looking for a good way to see the city (and is willing to take the chance of maybe getting rained on). |
