Classic Harbor Line

i bought a ticket for my dad for his fathers' day present to take him. Although we were probably the two oldest people onthe boat, we both enjoyed seeing the sights of new york fro m the schooner. The staff was friendly and took good care of all the passengers, and although the captain was a bit arrogant, he manuevered the ship quite well. I felt that the cost of the cruise was a good value, particularly for the New York area.

This was a nice way to spend our afternoon and get a very quick view of the city. This was my teenage son's first visit to the city. Given we could only spend a couple days in NYC, this was a great jump start.

My friend and I planned this 'cruise' since I am retiring and leaving New York for good; wanted to see Manhattan one last time from the River. We chose this cruise, slightly more expensive than the Cicle Line cruise, specifically because we wanted to enjoy the beauty of the river and its sights, without noisy 'tourists'. The yacht was very comfortable, well air-conditioned and the crew and staff polite. We arrived early and chose two seats in the corner 'in front' of the yacht. A noisy group of about 12 came in later, literally squeezed us out of our places, in an ill-mannered way. They sat on either side of us, touching us because they were trying to accommodate members of their group. One of the group was celebrating her birthday. From the outset they were loud and inconsiderate. I thought they would quiten down once the cruise started but it was like they had a private room to themselves and did not care about the rest of us. They completely overshadowed the commentary by the volume of their exchanges. They were socializing, uncaring about the sights around and the beautiful views as the sun started setting. The only time they took notice was when we were close to the Statue of Liberty and they had photographs taken. We complained to the lady in charge of the bar and she spoke to this group but they paid no attention. We asked her a second time to tell them that they were drowning out the commentary, she said she would speak to them but I don't know if she did. I suppose it required the Captain or someone with more authority, but no one was able to control them even though their noise was affecting our experience on the cruise. My friend and I could not converse normally, we had to talk loudly, and listen carefully, bending our heads so that our ears were close to the speaker's mouth. This resulted in us sometimes not being able to focus on the sights outside. This group should have just celebrated in a bar; they did not appreciate being on a cruise and really ruined the evening for most of us. It was really sad that what we thought would be a beautiful evening, circling the island, and listening once again to the History of this amazing city, was upended by these ill-mannered folk. After forcing us out of our seats they loudly exclaimed how New Yorkers were not the rude people they were made out to be but 'so nice'. This group certainly behaved like the New Yorkers I have occasionally come across in my ten years of living in the City: loud, discourteous and thoughtless.

In spite of the very hot day we had a wonderful sail on the Hudson River, the crew could not have been better. I will recommend to all my friends. Two young men from Florida just loved it

I love everything about the 2 hour sailing excursion! The captain is hillarious, the service is friendly and pleasant. I would recommend to everybody!

I took 13 clients on a cruise. The staff was very attentive, setting aside space for us without my having to ask, bringing us champagne and in general very welcoming. I would recommend this to my colleagues and friends.

This was a return cruise, the last was ten years previous. Great way to spend a couple of hours seeing NY from the harbor.

Although not my first time on the water, my first time on a sailboat. The crew was so friendly yet didn't overwhelm you. The sites were amazing and the boat was gorgeous. Would highly recommend for couples, friends, family, or by yourself for a nice relaxing escape from the hustle of the city. Will definetly return.

Good food, great service.

I went on the 2 hour day cruise with a group of colleagues from work. The crew were so nice, the boat was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. It was exciting to sail, as it was my first time, and it was so much fun that I will do it again next month. It was a great value at $45. For two hours of fun, it was well worth it since that amount buys a round of drinks for my friends when we go out. Not to mention the crew serves you up a few beers included in the price. I am very particular and have experienced a ton of interesting things as a local New Yorker, and this is one of my favorites. Skip the Circle Line and all other boats, this is authentic and fun.

I went with my friend who just got back from Singapore. He wanted to do a tour that wasn't too big, like the Circle line. I found your site online. The tour was fabulous! We enjoyed the yacht, the ride, the snacks and drinks, the service and the sites! Super props to the bartender, a young man with reddish hair and glasses, he was awesome! I would recommend this tour to everyone who visits NYC.

A very enjoyable criuse around the entire island (unlike most other tours) of Manhattan. Great views of the Statue of Liberty. Not too crowded and excellent service. Would definitely recommend.

Every year we sail the Adirondack in New York and Newport, and always enjoy the experience.

We had some visitors in from Amsterdam and my boss wanted to do something that would show them NY. They loved it!

What a wonderful way to see NYC. We live in New Jersey, have been to Manhattan many times but never got to see it from a boat, especially the East side, it's always the Hudson side. very informative but the lady who gave the tour wasn't the best speaker, lots of uums, and some things she didn't know. The man was better.A nice treat to have wine and cheese, crackers, fruit and cakes. the boat was comfortable, great day, would do it again.
