This was an excellent experience snd and a great way to see New York! It was a rather intimate setting with a couple other friendly passengers. We will be back!

It was a great experience. Andrew, the captain, was very friendly and generously shared his sailing experience and knowledge with us. I also appreciated that we were a small group, which made the experience feel much more personal, relaxed, and enjoyable

Very kind captain, and I enjoyed how relaxed and quiet the ride was. He made us feel very welcomed and I do plan on coming back again.

Great option for seeing the NYC sites (Brooklyn Bridge, skyline, Statue of Liberty, etc.) with a smaller group. Definitely worth the money & recommend over a larger boat tour that holds hundreds of people.

Excellent trip, would recommend to anyone!! The peace and quiet sailing was awesome and a stark contrast from the City.

Great way to explore NYC’s beautiful skyline and get an up close view of the Statue of Liberty! The tour provided clear meetup instructions, was timely, and shared site information perfect for those visiting NYC for the first time.

Best value in Brooklyn! Ian was an amazing host for this 2+ hour sail with 6 maximum passengers. Honestly you don’t know what you are missing if you pass on this one.

Best way to see New York, hands down. Captain was knowledgeable and very skilled. We went out just as described and docking was expert level.

Seeing the Statue of Liberty was the best!! It is the best way to see the harbor. Our captain, Ian, was a terrific guide. I did not want the trip to be over.
Leslie_D, Jul 2023
This was the highlight of our entire trip. Spending 2 hours on the water just enjoying the views is the perfect way to start your trip. We were lucky and it was a very small group, just us and another couple. It was peaceful and relaxing. Avoid the highly populated tour boats. You won’t regret taking this sailing tour. .

Ian and Tyler were knowledgeable, friendly, and very nice. It was a picture perfect day (which isn't controllable but still made my experience better for it). My sister-in-law was worried about getting wet and getting sea sickness... neither occurred. Overall, I would happily book this again.

The highlight of our NY trip! I recommend this experience 100% to complete your trip! There was nothing like it.

Sailing boat in very small groups is the best way to see The Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and NY skyscrapers and skyline up close. It is just a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
Justin_H, May 2023
Great way to see NYC. Highly recommend this over big boat cruises. Captain and trip were both excellent.
Courtney_M, May 2023
Great experience. Ian was very knowledgeable throughout the trip sailing. There is an extra photo of you want him to take a few photos but it is worth it. He takes photos at the world trade, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn bridge. Would highly recommend this if you want to see the city from a different perspective on a sunny day.

For our second time in NYC we wanted to do something original and have not been disappointed!
This sailing tour is amazing, we are only 6 onboard which is great if you want to avoid the tourist crowd and the views of the city are amazing!
I would definitely do it again!

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Lovely sailboat ride to see all of the major sites! Capt Andrew was awesome!
