Sailing aboard this 106-year-old beauty has earned a near-perfect reputation, and it's easy to see why. The crew, including captain Owen, Jake, and John, consistently gets called out by name for being professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Reviewers repeatedly describe feeling like VIPs rather than just passengers, with the captain sharing history about the harbor and landmarks along the way. The sunset cruise is a fan favorite, drawing repeat customers who come back for birthday celebrations, special occasions, and full moon sails alike. Views of the Statue of Liberty, Governor's Island, and the Manhattan skyline make for a stunning backdrop. One reviewer noted the route occasionally heads toward Staten Island rather than the Brooklyn Bridge, so if a specific view matters to you, it's worth asking ahead of time. Otherwise, the consistent praise across dozens of visits speaks for itself.
Our sunset cruise was fantastic. My wife and I took our family out, 7 of us and everyone had a great time. The crew was getting taking care of everything we needed. The boat is a one of a kind experience. If you are looking for a sail trip on NY harbor this is the one.
