| The yacht was beautiful. The cruise around manhattan was smooth and exciting. I saw things I've never seen before, despite living in the area most of my life. The wine presentation was great. I heard about wines I've never heard about before and even discovered a new winery (Brenmarl). The speakers were great. Anna especially seemed to know so much about wines and answered all my questions with detail, and a friendly smile.
Loads of fun. I will definitely recommend the cruise/tasting to all my friends and family. |

| It was a wonderful evening, spent on a beautiful schooner. The wine was generously provided - maybe a bit of bread to soak it up would have helped, but fabulous views over Mahattan, and a jolly atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone. We were on a break from the UK and had a ball!
Thanks a lot. |

| Wonderful opportunity to experience the art of wine tasting at the same fall in love with New York City's skyline.
I highly recommend this event for couples and singles. |

| This wine tasting was conducted by Wendy Crispell and Anna Micic, who were very well informed and made the rosé tasting an exceptional experience. I was not a big fan of rosés, but now I feel that they would make a wonderful summertime aperitif.
We were on Yacht Manhattan, a very lovely yacht that took us almost all around Manhattan. The evening was lovely, the appetizers served were wonderful.
I would definitely do this again. |

| This was my first winetasting cruise but my third time on The Manhattan, and I'll be coming back for more. I'm finding them a great way to entertain, do something different, get out on the water without the blaring music or screeched narrations of other boats, and have some cover from the weather. The Manhattan's cruises are just classy, and that's due to the professional, warm but not suffocating crew, the expertise in the galley whether it's brunch or passed hors d'oeuvres, bartenders who seem to enjoy delivering great service--you'll want to tip well. From concept to the smallest details, this company gets it right--immaculate, large, well-appointed bathrooms reminded me of the original Queen Mary. Also, the mix of passengers has so far always included a wide range of ages and interests, international visitors, and civilized behavior, so it doesn't smack of "tourist" event or Wall Street partyers. The small number of passengers vs. capacity--14-25 on my three trips, with a capacity to seat 45 or hold 90 standing up--contributes to the feeling you are taking a trip on a private yacht. I just hope the owners find the business model viable!
I was skeptical that 5 dry rose wines exist on the planet, but I enjoyed finding out I was wrong, and how different supposedly similar wines can be. The wine tasting team really knew their stuff, could quote alcohol contents, provenance, and retail price ranges without hesitation. The hors d'oeuvres pairings were uncanny, and of very high quality. Generous pouring of undrunk bottles at the end of the tasting. This trip is a keeper! |

| What a great time! The yacht was beautiful, it was an incredible experience. Very romantic. The wines were very very good and it was set up so even us novices knew what to do. Mostly it was just a beautiful. We will do it again and bring visiting family members. Only thing, as a vegetarian I wish I could have tasted the apps. The brie and berrie one was delicious and my husband enjoyed all of them, especially the peanut sauce on the chicken. The staff was perfect. They were very helpful but not intrusive. Perfect, worth every penny! |

| Wendy was very informative and her selections of wines was great. She was available to answer questions and wanted our opinions. We're ready to sign up for more!
Of course, we really lucked out with the weather. |

Very unique and enjoyable activity.
