5.00The Night Sailboat Tour was incredible - it is truly magical to be out on the NY Harbor, looking at the skyline and Statute of Liberty while also seeing stars in the sky. The crew were lovely and fun to chat with and even provided us light blankets when it got cool on the water.
Great night

5.00Had the best experience with the night cruise. The cruise started on time, loved the view from the water, the kids were excited when the crew raised the sails, it was very cold and windy and the staff was prepared with blankets. The staff was courteous, professional, answered all our questions, clicked awesome pictures for us. Overall highly recommend.
Nice date experience

5.00Very chill experience, the crew was great without being overbearing. Our Saturday night cruise was surprisingly not crowded, the views were spectacular, and when we were under sail it was quiet and tranquil.
Loved This Night!

5.00This was a perfect outing for my daughter’s 17th birthday. We had fantastic shots of the city lights and Statue of Liberty for a memorable celebration. It was not overly crowded and peaceful sailing on a lovely boat with friendly, helpful staff.
Excellent Customer Service.

A Must-Experience Way to See NYC and The Statue of Liberty
835mariea,May 8, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was such an iconic way to see the city. As a native New Yorker, I don't often find myself in the waters of the Hudson and this was the perfect way to do that in style. The crew couldn't have been nicer, the sailboat was stunning and the views couldn't be beat. This is a must-do activity if you want to impress a loved one from out of town or to reawaken your love for the city. Got to take stunning shots of the Statue of Liberty at sunset and to do that while sipping wine...life doesn't get better than that - Highly recommend!
Great for young and old...an experience to share and cherish!

5.00It could be a challenge to find something equally interesting to both a 14 year and his 80 year old grandmother. Not with the evening sail! Professional crew, room to move about, clean washroom, choice of beverage. Seeing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island at the close of the day is poignant and dramatic.
