Great experience in NYC

The brunch that I went on with my husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law was great. The crew was very nice, friendly and the sailing outstanding. We had great weather and really enjoyed the experience - would recommend to a friend. One comment to think about - it would have been nice for the captain to tell the visitors a little bit of history about some of the sights that we passed; not a true history lesson but just some tid bits of info regarding some of the important sights.

Overall - great experience. Thank you.

We were very happy with the whole experience. The brunch was much more than expected and very good. The crew was very friendly and happy to answer questions. It was a memorable day, and going on a Sunday morning was great for parking right at the pier. Looking forward to trying other Experience Day outings.

Manhattan Brunch Cruise

Not that it would have made much of a difference... but It wasn't announced until we were underway, my harbor brunch cruise was apparently combined with and became the scenic autumn trip up the Hudson to the Tappen-Zee .. Otherwise, the captain, crew and staff were gracious and accommodating.

Manhattan Brunch cruise

I took my Mum on the cruise around Manhattan on both our first time to New York. Seeing Manhatten from the boat is amazing with such a beautiful skyline plus it took us to view the statue of liberty and you get to see parts you'd never normally visit. The boat was beautiful, all wood and very comfortable seating inside and outside. The food was incredible, best bagel I have ever eaten and a delicious complimentary bloody Mary. Staff were great, friendly and very informative. They'll take as many photos of you as you like. It was a good amount of time too. My Mum and I had such a great time and we'd both highly recommend it. A highlight of our trip.

I enjoyed the cruise. The crew was very charming, the buffet was replenished often. A few of the other passengers could be considered vultures and their pushy ways were annoying. Commentary was interesting and I would have appreciated a little more information. Overall a very pleasant afternoon.

Beautiful Cruise with Great service

I took my mom on the Cruise for her birthday and we had a lovely time. The crew was very nice and informative. The buffet was good and it offered a variety of different options. I was a little worried the food would run out because the people on my cruise attacked the food table before we were even out on the water, but the crew replenished and everyone seemed to get what they wanted. The cruise itself was beautiful and there was plenty of room to be inside or outside. Overall it was a very pleasant and unique way to get a new perspective on the city.

My husband & I had a wonderful time. We went on a Sunday and parked on the street so we didn't have to pay for parking. The Captain was extremely knowledgeable & the 'mates' treated us wonderfully. The food was good and served via 'buffet' so there was more than enough, we left stuffed. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

Excellent in all respects! Would definitely recommend. One small suggestion...I understand there is no room to make decaf coffee, but I suggest you offer packets of powdered decaf for those who can't drink regular coffee. Keep up the good work!

New York Cruise

The cruise itself was great. Crew and food also great. The announcements were impossible to hear unless you were outside in the front of the boat. This was not available. The location of this pier was hard to find. If you mention behind the Sports Club (whatever its name is), the pier might be easier to find.

Cruise

This was a gift for my mother and we both enjoyed ourselves so much on this trip that we have recommended it to my sister and her husband. The foods, ok- not 5 star, but were good. And they always seemed to replenish the food when it ran out. The experience you pay for is a beautiful boat ride around one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The staff on this boat were very pleasant, friendly and engaging and I thought the patrons were, too. This was far from disappointing and I would definitely do it again.

What a fantastic day! The boat was beautiful and the brunch was delicious. You couldn't have asked for a better view of the island. The crew was so welcoming and very knowledgable on the appealing sights we passed. It was a really special experience and we highly recommend it to others!

Yacht Ride Around Manhattan

I loved the boatride on the 'Manhattan' yacht. The food was great, the crew was courteous, and the captain made the trip very interesting with his knowledge of New York. It was a great trip.

We took the train in from Connecticut to Grand Central Terminal, then a quick $15. cab ride to Pier 62 and we were there! This Brunch Cruise is fabulous from start to finish. The boat is elegant, the crew is friendly, the food is delicious and plentiful, and the Captain provides fascinating commentary on the passing scenery. We are ready to do this one again!

The cruise, food, and service were excellent. However having to pay and having our guests pay $40.00 for parking was outrageous. People should be warned !!!

I am a local and got this Experience as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. We sailed on May 15th & both enjoyed it very much. Good food. Plentiful. Always a nice way to spend a few hours on the water. Unlike other Manhattan cruises this one went completely around the island. Would recommend it to both locals & tourists alike.

The Best Cruise of its type that I have ever taken. This was an anniversary Gift from friends that joined us to make a party of six. Great Boat with casual and comfortable seating. The food was wonderful and the staff very friendly and attentive. This is a 'Don't miss' opportunity and worth every penny.

Our trip was actually a Christmas gift from our daughter. We were joined by another family to make our party seven. We all enjoyed our trip. The three hours of food choices were a pleasant surprise. The tour itself is a great way to see the city... the UN, the Falls, and the Statue of Liberty, the sites are endless.Thank-you

What an amazing way to spend a beautiful Sunday. The Captain was very knowledgeable and the crew was friendly, helpful and yet not intrusive. The opportunity to see the Status of Liberty up close, the Waterfalls, and parts of Manhattan that you just can't appreciate any other way was delightful. The food was delicious, a lot of choices and plentiful. My husband and I have already recommended this cruise as a wonderful way to spend a day to a half dozen or so friends already. We'd definitely do this again!

'The trip was wonderful. We have lived in the area all of our lives and this was the first time we got to see the city from a totally different perspective. Sailing past Lady Liberty and under the Bridges was just great! The captain was knowledgeable and gave a wonderful narrative along the journey. I would recommend this activity to everyone, especially locals. It made me once again realize how lucky we are to live in this area.'
