Fantastic Night

The Night Sailboat Tour was incredible - it is truly magical to be out on the NY Harbor, looking at the skyline and Statute of Liberty while also seeing stars in the sky. The crew were lovely and fun to chat with and even provided us light blankets when it got cool on the water.

Definitely recommend

Had the best experience with the night cruise. The cruise started on time, loved the view from the water, the kids were excited when the crew raised the sails, it was very cold and windy and the staff was prepared with blankets. The staff was courteous, professional, answered all our questions, clicked awesome pictures for us. Overall highly recommend.

Nice date experience

Very chill experience, the crew was great without being overbearing. Our Saturday night cruise was surprisingly not crowded, the views were spectacular, and when we were under sail it was quiet and tranquil.
