5.00From start to finish an excellent experience and well worth the cost. A stunning way to see the skyline and get up close to Statue of Liberty. Knowledgeable Cree who didn’t give extensive commentary but just enough to point out highlights and useful info.Well worth 90 minutes
A Perfect Outing on the Water

5.00We loved this tour so much and so glad we did this instead of one of the giant tour boat experiences. We had a group of 4 and I think there were only 8 other people on board. The boat was beautiful and the crew (Captain Felix and Sean the bartender) were super friendly and accommodating. The ride was very relaxing and we had picture perfect views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue or Liberty. I would say to be cautious taking this tour if you are prone to sea-sickness as it was a little of a rocky ride at times.
Awesome feel

5.00We took this trip on our first morning of our visit to the city whilst celebrating a family members 50th. It was the most beautiful relaxing easy start to the day and great way to see the sights from the water - and our 10 and 12 year olds loved it too. Would highly recommend.
Small intimate vessel,...

Sailing NYC harbor always a pleasure with Classic Harbor Line

5.00My adult daughter and I have sailed on the Adirondack or America 2.0 about 6 times now and have ALWAYS had a great time. Yesterday was no exception despite light winds. Captain Diana and crew Sandy, Tanner and (sorry, I forgot the other mate's name) were all great. We have done evening sails and now a morning as well. I highly recommend this experience, whether you are a visitor to NYC or a lifelong resident. It's a different perspective from the water. I have also chartered the boat for a private corporate event, back in my working days. It was back before the Trade Center fell and we had a fabulous experience. Again, highly recommended if you are looking to spend a great day with a group or team.
The only way to explore the rivers and see attractions of NYC

5.00What a fantastic option rather than the big tourist laden ferries. Captain Uri and Sarah were so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole experience providing very good commentary. Small intimate group of people, boarding at the lovely Chelsea Piers, cruised the Hudson all the way to a close vantage point of Statue of Liberty. Then onwards down the East River under Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges before returning to Chelsea Piers. Drink included. No complaints whatsoever, would highly recommend as a relaxing experience. From here it is then close to explore Little Island, walk the Highline, see Hudson Yards and the Vessel etc.

5.00I organized a 2-hour boat tour for a group of 36 executives, and it was an excellent experience. The staff was incredibly attentive, especially Natalie, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. There were plenty of drinks available, and the views were absolutely stunning. The entire experience exceeded our expectations.
Just do it!
