Traveler reviews
Relaxing sail
Wonderful sail! The crew are very attentive and Captain Sarah is the best! Highly recommend for a great Saturday outing.
Great views and staff!
We wanted a team event, and this turned out to be an incredible experience. Being outdoors on the water, away from the usual rat race, with close-up views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan’s skyline was unbeatable. What made it truly special, though, was the staff. We had to change dates due to a scheduling issue, and they couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Onboard, the crew was fantastic—answering questions, making sure we were comfortable, and even letting one of our colleagues help hoist the sails. The first drink was included, but we were having such a good time that we happily ordered another round. The weather was perfect, and since it was the off-season, the boat wasn’t at full capacity, so we had plenty of space to move around and enjoy the experience.
Sunday Funday
Just awesome and lots of fun. Excellent service. Definitely would recommend every one I know to experience the sail.
Magical Experience!
My husband and I took the sunset sail from Chelsea Piers last week on the America 2 schooner. The boat was clean, the crew was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They were very accommodating and even took photos of us. Even though we were born and raised in New York watching the city light up is always a magical experience as was sailing close up to Lady Liberty. The sunset was magnificent. I would highly recommend this cruise to both natives and visitors alike.
Day Sail to Statue of Liberty
The best time. It was perfect. The captain and 2 deck hands were absolutely the best. If you want a beautiful sailboat cruise with the best people then you should go. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
