Traveler reviews
Best 2h of our month!
Here’s a polished review: If you’re on the fence about booking this sunset sail, do it. We live in NYC, and we both agreed this was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable things we’ve done in the city. The views were absolutely gorgeous, especially as the sun set over the skyline. The boat was comfortable, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the two hours flew by. A special shoutout to Yuri and the entire crew. They were welcoming, professional, and struck the perfect balance of being attentive without ever feeling intrusive. They made the experience feel effortless from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be recommending this to friends and family looking for a memorable way to experience New York from the water.

Wonderful way to celebrate and see the New York Harbor
A wonderful way to celebrate with friends or to share in New York experience with out-of-town guests.
Perfect storm
Our trip was cancelled because of a storm, but the cancellation was dealt with perfectly. We were notified as soon as they knew it was happening, we were offered rebookings the next day, and when that didn't work for us they gave is a refund immediately. We shall definitely be booking again. Hopefully with no storms this time
