Traveler reviews
Great Experience!
The crew were extremely friendly and courteous. They really made me feel at home. It was a small group of passengers, which gives you plenty of space and makes the whole experience much more personal.
Fantastic way to see the city and statue
This was an amazing experience! You get up close to the Statue of Liberty and get great views of Manhattan and the bridges. The boat was beautiful and the crew was very kind and attentive. I could have stayed out on the water all day! Highly recommend!!
Singing in the rain !!
The weather was less than ideal … rainy and windy for most of the sail …. But crew kept up our spirits and made it a lot of fun !! Staff was very attentive and handed out ponchos and drinks ! They laughed and joked and showed us the sights ! Thank you crew !!! We had a lot of fun and will come back in better weather !!

Yuri, Graeme, Hunter and Marcos were excellent in providing for a nice sail on the Hudson. They made sure everyone had a nice afternoon
