Captain Andy is clearly the heart of this operation, and reviewers can't say enough good things about him. He's consistently described as warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely entertaining, with a gift for making guests feel at ease on the water. His sailboat, the Nanette Marie, earns just as much praise, with guests repeatedly noting how clean, comfortable, and well-maintained it is. The experience itself seems to resonate deeply with people. Sailing past the Statue of Liberty and taking in the Manhattan skyline from the water is something reviewers call a highlight of their entire NYC trip. Captain Andy has also handled special occasions like proposals with care and discretion, which speaks to his attentiveness as a host. Last-minute bookings have gone smoothly too, suggesting a flexible and responsive operation overall.
Not only was the boat amazing, the captain and staff were too! Everything was beyond my expectations.
