Sailing around New York Harbor with this crew has become a go-to experience for visitors and locals alike, with many guests returning year after year. The captains, including Mike, Thomas, Kara, Ken, and Rick, consistently earn praise for being warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. First mates like Natasha, Claudia, and Daniel add to the welcoming atmosphere, making everyone feel at home from the moment they step aboard. The sailboat itself seems to be a big part of the appeal. Guests frequently note how different it feels compared to a typical ferry or motorboat tour, especially during sunset when the views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty are at their best. The booking process also gets high marks, with a responsive office team that makes planning easy. One pattern worth noting is that several guests wished they had booked the three-hour option rather than two, so it may be worth considering the longer sail if your schedule allows.
We had a wonderful experience with Captain Thomas on our sunset cruise. There were 5 of us on board and we all enjoyed it throughly. It was the most memorable part of our trip!
