Sailing the Hudson with this crew is one of those experiences that reviewers genuinely can't stop thinking about afterward. Multiple guests mention booking for special occasions like proposals and birthdays, and the crew consistently delivers with thoughtful setups and perfect timing. Captains like Matt, Gino, and Martin get called out repeatedly for being knowledgeable hosts who share fascinating stories about 9/11, Ellis Island, and NYC landmarks, turning what could be just a boat ride into an educational experience. The crew positions you for incredible photos at golden hour and knows how to handle everything from surprise rainstorms to champagne packages. What stands out is how the team handles intimate moments. Several successful proposals happened on board, with the crew quietly setting up the cabin space with food and decorations. Guests rave about feeling both pampered and comfortable, with catering that exceeds expectations and a relaxed vibe that works whether you're celebrating with kids or planning something romantic. The boats themselves, particularly the SAGA and Karla, offer both cozy seating areas and open spaces at the front for stretching out. It's the kind of experience that locals and tourists alike call unforgettable, and repeat bookings seem common.
I can’t recommend Go Sailing enough. We had the best 2 hours aboard on our trip to New York with friends. A truly unforgettable experience. The captain Matt and first-mate Jacob were absolutely spectacular: they were friendly, helpful, informative and just lots of fun. We had the champagne package and also got free soft drinks for the children. If anyone reading this is trying to decide whether or not to book, just BOOK IT! It’s the best thing we’ve done on any holiday. Thanks again to the team at Go Sailing for making our holiday so memorable.
