Refunds due to ‘lack of color’, will not be honored. Cruising on the Hudson River, north by the Palisades, is a unique and interesting route and is the declared value of this excursion.

Traveler reviews
zzzzzz
the crew and captain were very courteous, timely and accommodating. we had a beautiful day with blue skies and calm water. the foliage wasn’t really out yet, no fault of the line. a drink (many choice’s available both alcohol and soft) and were very good. off we go. saw the skyline, and up the hudson. this is not narrated so if you want to know what something is, you ask. the captain should wear a mike because you could not hear any answers and we were only 4 people away from her at the wheel. once we reached the GW bridge we then just sat in the same place for an hour. they offered some cookies and/or chips but if wanted anything more to drink, you had to pay. it got cold. real cold. and this was not a morning cruise. they did have blankets but it was so cold, some guests and the captain wearing hats, gloves and some winter jackets. be prepared. after just floating in same place for more than an hour, we headed back. if i had to do again, i’d do the Manhattan boat, which is enclosed, vintage, small group and comfy. i think it shows you the architecture etc. probably goes right up the hudson. next time…
Perfect fall experience
Wonderful cruise, attentive, expert crew and captain. Time on board was long enough to see the sights and travel above the George Washington Bridge to the Palisades. Thoughtful for the crew to offer lap blankets. Appreciated the complimentary drink and snack. Highly recommend.
What are we doing this weekend….
The brunch cruise was sold out. We opted for the brunch less cruise We purchased some snacks, they supply you with drinks(alcohol /non alcohol) and chips It was a relatively small ground. Our Captain Felix was personable , professional and just a delight. He kept us abreast of the on coming sights. Their significance, etc. The interior of the vessel is well equipped . Once we set sail , you can move around. Sarah G ( thank you !) came around offering drinks. A personal shout out to her, I was getting a little nauseous ( always happens when I’m on boat).. She supplied with these anti nausea Wristlets. They really Helped. This was our third trip on these Classic Harbor sails. Viewing NYC from a whole different perspective. It’s buildings, bridges, it’s history These are the moments in life that you’re happy you made time for.. Till our next.. Bon Voyage
Sailing while cosy and warm!
Great crew, friendly and helpful. Blankets kept us cosy and warm. Beautiful views of NYC skyline. Trip quite long enough.
Relaxing sailing trip
I was initially imagining going farther upriver but obviously being under sail power it took us more than half the time just to get a short ways past the GWB. Still a very pleasant trip. I was very impressed by the crew, they were not only good at their jobs but pleasant to be around.
