| Very much enjoyed your waterfalls cruise. I was expecting a much bigger and more crowded boat and was pleasantly surprised. The boat was smaller than I expected and was very pleased to see that the crowd was kept to a minimum and it did not feel overly crowded. I was not sure I whether I would regret paying the extra cost over the Circle Line but I sure am glad I did. Worth every penny. Rest rooms were also kept clean and supplied. I will definitely recommend this cruise. |

| On a hot summer afternoon in NYC a delightful way to see the city from the water. Nice too to be on a boat with a limited capacity. |

| Was it luck or was it the way it was meant to be? The day was dazzling! The crew was charming! The views from the boat, the Manhattan, were spectacular! I had booked a July cruise date with the SailNYC company to see the Four Waterfalls exhibit for friends of mine in from Ohio. The idea of viewing this once-in-a-lifetime installation from on the water appealed to the native New Yorker in me. Unexpectedly, by taking this boat cruise, my friends and I got to see the exhibit from many different angles as we motored south out of the Hudson River and up north into the East River and then eventually turned around and went south on the East River to return back to the dock.
The pace of the 90-minute cruise was perfect. The captain and crew was attentive, funny and casual. The Manhattan is a good-looking, good-sized sturdy boat and it was an intimate way to travel on the rivers. The passengers were a neat mix of families, couples, one or two noticeable photobugs and just travelers! The champagne was a marvelous addition and you could see how it contributed to a expectation of "New York calm and class." We motored down the Hudson, slowing down to take in the Battery, the Ellis Island and of course, the Statue of Liberty views. On the East River, when we came to each waterfall, the captain took an even more leisurely pace. The waterfall underneath the Brooklyn Bridge was ultimately the most impressive, although the effort, the placement and the concept of the four different waterfalls is praiseworthy. However, I must add that the real winner is Manhattan. After forty years in this city, views of this island still amaze me.
How's that for a review? |

| A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Crew were warm, friendly, highly professional and well-informed. The 90-minute length of the ride is just perfect. Wish we could have gone a bit closer to the falls but it was a VERY windy day, so perhaps that was the reason.
The arrival time (20-30 minutes before) is a bit too far ahead as the boarding gate does not open until 5 minutes before the departure time and the waiting area is hot and crowded.
Once on the water, however, heaven in your hat! |

| i can really recommend this trip to all who are interested in a boat trip ....
the crew of the boat is very kind and you will get all the time free drinks, which gives you a feeling of luxury ...
you have a wonderful view and everyone will find a place outside the boat if its a sunny day. I liked most, that it was not too crowded and that the captain did not explain every small house we are passing by...
its a really nice experience and all my friends were happy about my choice of going on the boat for a champagne cruise tour ! |
