Classic Harbor Line

My husband & I hosted my daughter's 18th birthday with 10 of her friends on a brunch cruise around Manhattan. It was a lovely setting, excellent food, friendly and knowledgeable staff - and you cannot beat the view!! We had sun and rain on the cruise - but that did not affect anything. The small size of the boat is conducive to socializing with others or just being with your group. Both generations of our party had a great time and I have been recommending this cruise to all my friends. I would like to return sometime - with just my husband for a special occasion!

We were on the brunch cruise - 40 people which would be about the limit for that type of cruise. We didn't feel crowded. Any more and it would have been. I liked the fact that they circumvented the entire Island of Manhattan. Few do that...

My family & I had a blast on this cruise. It was relaxing, fun, and a great way to see the entire island of Manhattan. The food was very good - and there was plenty of it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who visits NYC.

The night view of Manhattan is gorgeous. The crew is super nice. It's worth going.

Great, great, great. One of the best deals in the city.

I had never heard of sailing on the Hudson before but our friends from Amsterdam had. Since it looked so cool we went along. I have to say. You have to do this atleast once. It's a great way to see the city, the river, Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great activity with visitors! I will keep this on my list for when the next groups comes to town.

We enjoyed our cruise very much. We had one major complaint and that was that Zerve provided the wrong Pier to meet at. We were notified by cell phone a few hours earlier but I didn't notice the message until we were at the pier frantically searching for the boat. Not being familiar with Chelsea Piers, I didn't realize that the correct pier was very close. My suggestion for future tour-takers is to check your messages and verify the pier number before you go. The cruise itself was very nice. The boat was smaller than we expected and more open than I realized it would be. We only went down the Hudson river, basically to the Statue of Liberty and back to the pier. For some reason, I thought we'd see more sites than we did. The refreshements were fine and the crew was friendly. There was no guided tour with descriptions of what we saw, but for what we saw, it wasn't necessary. The kids were a little bored until we got close to the Statue of Liberty. If you're looking for a relaxing sail-boat ride down the Hudson for 2 hours, this is very nice.

Great cruise and a very enthusiastic crew! I would recommend to friends and family.

This was a great way to visit New York. The crew was knowledgable and helpful. I recommend this trip to everyone.

was a good time

was very nice, romantic, and relaxing!!! loved it!

We happened to be lucky to experience a wonderful Champagne Sunset Cruise on Yacht Manhattan, and we believe that the very reason of our wonderful experience is the hearts of the Crew, which gave us a pleasant service and ride on the yacht. Thank you so much Dave, Tom, and Mike for a wonderful experience ( I hope I got all fo the names correctly); it was your hearts that make the experience unforgettable. Best, Budi and Samms

We went on the day sailing trip. Everything was perfect - the boat was extremely clean and the crew was amazing. I would have liked a little description of the sights we were seeing (pointing out just the important buildings) but I didn't mind the lack of it as well because it didnt feel "touristy" at all and I loved that. The captain was Julian and he was simply amazing - we loved his enthusiam . The crew was very friendly pointed out some local hot spots. Overall, I think this was the best $40 I spent in NYC :).

I have been on the Adirondack numerous times in the 8 years that I have lived in NYC. On this particualr trip, the staff and captain were exceptionally friendly and accomodating and I loved that we actually sailed! I've tried a competitor and they are more apt to keep the boat level with the water if you know what I mean. One suggestion from an administrative point of view, however, is that another friend tried to join us last minute and was told that by Zerve that it was full when, in fact, the person at check-in said that there was plenty of space. It was too late at that point for our friend to join us. Unfortunate, and this needs to be corrected.

I have sailed on the Adirondack and the Imagine several times. Each occasion was a great event. The captain(s) and the crew(s) appear to be very competent and work very hard to ensure that all passengers enjoy the sail. (This past Sunday our captain was Julian, and our party of four felt very confident in his ability to afford us a safe, happy sailing experience.) I feel that if more people knew about the sailing vessels from the Chelsea Piers, more passengers would be sailing. I initially found out about the ships from my own personal searching on the Internet for sailboats from Manhattan. I have never seen an advertisement describing the sails; more publicity would be valuable.
