| 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). |

| As a new yorker, it was a nice change of pace for a standard night out. |

| The views alone are worth the cost of the sail but the friendly and attentive crew make it fantastic. |

Couple on a Date |
| I booked the sunset cruise last weekend for my boyfriend and I, as I was looking for something "different" to do in the city. This was one of the most fun things I've done in awhile! We opted to sit on one of the sides of the boat, while a lot of people chose to sit on the more cushioned section near the captain (who was very friendly, by the way!) We weren't all crammed in; there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. We brought a long a few things to eat, which we purchased at the little cafe in Chelsea Piers. The crew kept the drinks flowing; we never had an empty drink! You get a lovely view of the skyline, along with an up close look at the Statue of Liberty. I enjoyed seeing one of the waterfall installations in the distance. This cruise is so relaxing and beautiful; it's something I wish we could do every weekend! Our weather was perfect; it had been in the high 90's all day, but it was much cooler on the water at sunset. I thought 2 hours would be a long time, but we wished it lasted much longer! Highly recommended!! |
