| Took the tour to see the WATERFALLS and was very pleased. Would have appreciated more identification of buildings and areas we were passing either by the crew ---- or better still a map or chart with specific names of buildings, etc. (The book Manhattan is much too general). |

Excellent and fun!

| This champagne cruise was a ton of fun! While the waterfalls are completely overrated (with the exception of the one under the Brooklyn Bridge), the actual 1.5 hour cruise around the south end of Manhattan Island was a blast. Lots of great photo opportunities of the million dollar view of downtown Manhattan, Liberty Island, Governor's island, and all the major downtown bridges. While this cruise isn't the cheapest out there, it is definitely worth the money not to be crammed in like cattle like on other similar cruise offerings. The yacht holds a maximum of 60 people so there is plenty of personal space. You also get to choose between sitting in the air conditioned cabin with large windows for picture taking or going out on the deck. The boat is extremely stable and isn't prone to to much bouncing around for those who get queasy stomachs. Throw in the free drinks and champagne, excellent and friendly staff, and a knowledgeable captain and you have an excellent and fun experience. I would do it again! |

| We arrived early and waited in line, then were told as we boarded that we must sit in the cabin for safety information. We did, and then the crew allowed latecomers to sit outside - in the good seats - and miss the safety talk. The cruise served alcohol, yet allowed small children to attend, and the crew allowed the children to run wild and unsupervised in an unsafe manner. And to top it all off, we couldn't hear the narration about the Waterfalls exhibit. It should have been a lovely event, but wasn't as good as it could have been. |

| Nice ride with complimentary champagne... but WET, we got totally drenched two times! And the waves where HUGE, so be prepared if you know that you might get sea sick... |

| A group of us did the waterfall cruise with free champagne. It was all the bubbly you wanted, crew was friendly, nice clean boat. I'm not talking about a circle line ride.
The falls were nice, Brooklyn Bridge was the best. I would take a longer tour.
Not crowded, but I don't think it can be since they are limited to the number of passengers. |

| Have sailed with SailNYC twice before, both times on the sailboat. We wanted to try the motor yatch, so we did and it was great. The boat is fantastic, very clean, large and the staff as usual is more than accommodating. I would imagine any event on the motor yatch would be equalling as nice. |

| I recently vacationed in Manhattan with some friends, and we had several activities on our itinerary such as museums, landmarks, famous locations, etc. This cruise turned out to be the best one of them all! Very enjoyable. Small groups of people. No crowds. Courteous, friendly hosts. |

| We have nothing but positive things to say about this cruise. The crew was helpful, the boat was beautiful, and it was well maintained. The limited number of guests on the cruise meant that there was plenty of space for everyone, both inside the yacht and out on the deck. This was a huge benefit compared to all the other tour boats we saw on the harbor packed with people. The Waterfalls were great and the views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the south end of Manhattan were stunning. We would use this tour company again. |

| I took my husband on this cruise for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary and it was worth every penny. We had such an amazing time, passing the sites and to get the chance to sip Champagne while we passed the installation of "The Waterfalls" was wonderful. We were on the Yacht "The Manhattan" and the boat was very nice and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. I highly recommend this Cruise. |
