Classic Harbor Line

Great way to spend an evening together for a birthday, anniversary, date. We included it as an interlude between dinner and an evening of partying. Friendly crew and fellow passengers weren't too rowdy so you could be with yourselves or join the crowd.

The trip was very fun and beautiful. Some of the other people were a little rowdy next to us but overall very entertaining

I booked the sunset cruise last weekend for my boyfriend and I, as I was looking for something "different" to do in the city. This was one of the most fun things I've done in awhile! We opted to sit on one of the sides of the boat, while a lot of people chose to sit on the more cushioned section near the captain (who was very friendly, by the way!) We weren't all crammed in; there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. We brought a long a few things to eat, which we purchased at the little cafe in Chelsea Piers. The crew kept the drinks flowing; we never had an empty drink! You get a lovely view of the skyline, along with an up close look at the Statue of Liberty. I enjoyed seeing one of the waterfall installations in the distance. This cruise is so relaxing and beautiful; it's something I wish we could do every weekend! Our weather was perfect; it had been in the high 90's all day, but it was much cooler on the water at sunset. I thought 2 hours would be a long time, but we wished it lasted much longer! Highly recommended!!

My gf and i had a total blast!!! It was so romantic and relaxing to be on the water. We highly recommend it to everyone. We're planning on doing it again soon...most likely the moonlight one next. Can't wait!!!

...but I wish there had been more wind.

What a wonderful trip. We went on a Friday at 6pm. It was absolutely fantastic, so relaxing and such an unusual way to see the city without feeling like a complete tourist. Great for mixed groups be it couples, families or friends. Would highly recommend and I would certainly go again. What a great way to wind down, with a glass of champagne in hand whilst watching the sun start to go down against the horizon of the New York skyline.

The sail was nice, a little choppy so I was a little nauseous, but otherwise, lovely weather. Don't forget to bring sunglasses! We had a really good time, it was very laidback and relaxing. The captain didn't really tell us what places we were sailing past, unless we specifically asked him. But all in all, a pretty good ride.

This tour is a must do in New York. The staff is great, the views are amazing, and it is definitely worth the time. It doesn't get better than cruising down the Hudson from Chelsea Piers only under the power of the wind. it starts out under power of the motor to get away from the piers, but as soon as you are in open water, they drop the sails and you head south toward the Statue of Liberty and Eilis Island. Once they have the sails trimmed, the crew comes around and asks what type of drink you would like and then it is a relaxing two hours. You get to see Manhattan and its wonderful skyline from the water, you get up close to the Statue of Liberty and Eilis Island, and you get a cool and relaxing couple of hours on the water. The price is not bad either. Take the time and enjoy the Schooner Tour while you are in New York City.

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.

Made to feel relaxed and at home by a great crew.

What a beautiful night. The beauty of the full moon beaming behind the Woolworth Building across the Hudson was breathtaking. Fireworks shot off behind the skyline and we felt like we were in a fairy tale. The air was sweet and we hadn't felt so relaxed in years. One suggestion. One of the passengers on our cruise insisted on making an extended business call on her cell phone. She loudly played "master of the universe" while everyone tried to relax. It was jarring and for a few minutes put a damper on the evening. Here's the suggestion. For the 2 hour cruise, why not ask all passengers to show some respect for each other and the beauty that is in front of them. On boarding, why not ask passengers to refrain from using their cell phones for the duration of the cruise. It would help everyone fully enjoy their 2 hour escape. Again, the jarring phone call was over in 10 minutes. We quickly recovered, but all things being equal we would have preferred the caller had gotten a busy signal. Thanks.

Our first time being on a sailboat turned out to be a great experience. We hopped aboard the Adirondack and took off toward the Statue of Liberty. The city lights tour allowed us to see New York's skyline at its finest. Fireworks appeared in the backdrop of the city(unknown if its a continuous display). We then went past Ellis Island towards Liberty herself. We turned around at that point and headed back. Although your sitting next to a group of people, the experience itself takes you away from that. I recommend this to anybody.

Two hours on the Hudson with a great crew made for a perfect summer's day. Relief from the sweltering city, it must of been 20 degrees cooler on the water. Great views, great staff ,great ride.

We were a group of 7 with four children ages 11-16. There were 5 other passengers on the 4:30PM trip. It felt like we had the boat to ourselves. The captain and his mates were very personable and even let the children take the wheel at different points. I've done the Circle Line Cruise and other larger cruise ships as I have family in to visit, but something about being in a smaller group (the schooner capacity is 48 or 49 people) on the water in a sailboat really elevated the experience. They serve complimentary beverages on board. The young ones had a ball-the timing was just right (at 2 hours). I strongly recommend it.
