Fun experience and awesome to see the city from the water. The crew was also great which made for a fun time.
Enjoyable but crowded
Enjoyed sailing to the Statue of Liberty and back. Wish it had not been so crowded, no room to move around.

This tour exceeded my expectations- absolutely wonderful! Worth every penny. Crew was amazing and great with the kids.
Sail boat cruise with Classic Harbor Lines
I was a guest of Grace from Downtown Magazine and had the pleasure of enjoying my second sail with Classic Harbor Line. This time, we sailed aboard the Adirondack with Captain Cait, and once again, it was an incredible experience! Sailing along the Hudson offers some of the most spectacular views of New York City, especially the breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty from the water. The crew on board was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, and the beverages served were the perfect touch to an already wonderful sailing experience. There's truly something special about seeing NYC from a sailboat. I highly recommend Classic Harbor Line at Chelsea Piers to anyone looking for a memorable sailing cruise, outstanding hospitality, and magnificent views of the city. I'm already looking forward to my next sail! Thank you Mim
Thank you for such an...
Thank you for such an amazing 90-minute sailing experience! Everything was incredibly smooth, safe, and comfortable from start to finish. Check-in was clear and easy to navigate, and the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout. We enjoyed completely unobstructed views of both the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The sailboat itself was spotless, and watching the mast go up and down in person was a real highlight—something I’d never seen before and found fun to watch. Unlike those crowded boats where you’re packed in with too many people, we were a relaxed group of about 20, and the atmosphere felt easygoing and spacious the entire time. There was plenty of opportunity to capture videos of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty without feeling rushed. The crew was attentive the whole way, regularly checking in to offer water, beer, mimosas—or anything else we needed. We never had to ask twice. We’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and family. Highly recommended!
