Classic Harbor Line

It was a really lovely way to see manhattan and learn about the history of buildings I often overlook. Surprisingly insightful, a very enjoyable way to spend a sunday afternoon.

I originally signed on to this tour for the AIA continuing education credits, as a change from the usual classroom arrangement. Once underway I was more than pleasantly engaged by the presenters' knowledge of the various features of the skyline and their anecdotal style of lecture. Additionally, I drive the FDR and the West Side on a regular basis so it was very interesting to see the buildings along the waterfront from a different perspective. The crew is courteous and professional, the boat very nicely kept and the captain's skill at traffic negotiation impressively evident.

Loved it! Very relaxing. Not too many people. And, beautiful vistas. Staff was great! Boat was gorgeous and the actual views were incredible. I actually took a cat nap on a bench, I was so relaxed. Highly recommend it!

Took my boyfriend on a dat for his birthday. We have lived here for a while. This was beautiful. Great beer, pretty boat. You should do this but wear sunscreen.

Traveling from Florida, and not being familar with the area, we asked our friends from the Northeast which harbor tour we should take. Most referred us to City Lines but fortunately their cruise times didn't meet our schedules. One of our neighbors suggested your company and we decided to book the brunch cruise. We loved it and haven't stopped talking about this wonderful 3-hour cruise since we got off the boat. In fact, we didn't want to get off the boat and wish we could have stayed on for the Architecture Tour. Unfortunately, our flight back to Florida didn't allow us to take the next cruise. The staff, brunch and intimacy of your cruise line was just what we were looking for as part of our weekend trip and we will be back the next time we visit the Big Apple. Don't change a thing!

This is our 5th consecutive year taking this cruise. We have made it a spring tradition. The ship is well appointed and intimate. The crew is professional, friendly and food is plentiful and tasty. Its a great opportunity to see the City from a new vantage point and learn more about the island of Manhattan. Overall, I recommend it highly for tourist and resident alike. I am certain that once you experience this cruise, like me, you will be back.

I brought 13 girls on the America 2.0 for my sister's bachelorette party. There was ample seating for all of us as well as enough room to move around the boat and see the view from various places. The crew was fantastic--very attentive and fun, and answered all our questions about the boat and sailing. They made sure our champagne glasses were full and made the bride's night (and mine!) by letting us steer the boat for a while! I brought some desserts on board and there was enough room to lay them out for people to enjoy during the entire sail. We truly didn't want the night to end. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a classy way to celebrate a special occasion!

great staff, great boat great time...I do this cruise at least once a year!!!

Awesome time- cant stop praising about the sail & crew

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time on this beautiful cruise! The boat was lovely, the crew was friendly and humorous, the drinks were delicious and we had a great, romantic time.

Had a fantastic sail, will definitely be back again

We were celebrating our 6th anniversary and it was my turn to plan. We had dinner reservations in Brooklyn, but I wanted to do something special for my husband. He loves the water and hopes to get a boat of his own someday... so when I found this online you can imagine my surprise at how inexpensive it was AND with such great reviews! We took other reviewers advice and packed a picnic. I LOVE Chelsea Market, being the big foodie I am, so I brought an insulated bag and a freezer pack to fill up. We grabbed some shrimp cocktail at the fish market, cheese and crackers at Lucy's Whey, and salted cashews from Manhattan Fruit Exchange. Then we walked up 10th a mere 10 blocks and we were there! Now, being from Connecticut, we go to NYC pretty often, but I had never been to the piers. What a treat! Check-in takes a minute, and the three boats were docked waiting to be boarded. Many of the other couples were dressed to the max; we were in jeans and shoes with all the walking and exploring we were doing. We did not feel out of place! I believe the whole boat (when I say whole boat, I mean all of 42 people, so intimate!) was made up of couples on a date. There were no kids, and being a mom of three, I'm comfortable saying DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS! You wouldn't bring them to a fancy restaurant on a Saturday night and ruin it for other couples who got babysitters. We fully intend to bring our kids back for one of the day sails, but the sunset cruise is not appropriate for them. The service is fantastic, I wish we could find more restaurants with as attentive of service! You are never without a refreshment, have it be one of the many exclusive beers, merlot, pinot, or champagne, or soda. There is not a bad "seat" on the boat- we were free to move about to take pictures if so desired. (Word to the tourists- PUT DOWN YOUR CAMERA. Do you really need 400 pictures of the Statue of Liberty? The foreign couple next to us took no less than 1000. Really. Enjoy life, stop trying to document it.) I was more relaxed after this 2 hour ride than I had been after any massage I've ever had. We were almost too full for dinner, and had we not had reservations, we would have happily returned home with full bellies and happy hearts. It was a fantastic experience. What a unique way to see New York!

excellent staff and crew, great yacht and a fantastic way to see the south-western skyline of manhattan, ellis island and the statue of liberty. highly recommended. somewhat weather dependent but easy to organise and very enjoyable. A. from amsterdam

Captain Andrew and his crew were fun and provided great service to everyone on board. America 2.0 is a beautiful ship. We enjoyed the view of the city, islands and the Statue of Liberty. My family thought it was the best part of our visit to NYC John, Erie, PA

Captain Andrew was wonderful and great with the adults as well as the small children. He didn't leave anyone out. Miles,Yuri and Danny also did a great job and the whole crew made the afternoon very enjoyable. I would highly recommend an afternoon of sailing with this group!!!
