The captain and crew were professional, friendly and fun! It was a beautiful experience, and the best way to see NYC from the water. I highly recommend this beautiful experience to anyone visiting NYC and any lifelong New Yorker who wants to see the city from a different perspective! 😎

Fine

Catharine_A, Jun 2023

For someone not familiar with the area, it would have been nice to have someone telling us landmarks has we sailed by - an actual tour guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello, Thank you for sailing with us and taking some time to review your experience. We do not offer full narration on the sunset sail since many of our guests that select this option prefer to have conversations or enjoy the uninterrupted sounds of sailing. However, we do offer light narration on some of our other cruises, and we offer a professionally narrated architecture tour that circumnavigates Manhattan. We hope you will consider that option if you return to NYC! Warmly, Classic Harbor Line

Must Do!

What a lovely evening. The boat was beautiful and the staff was so awesome. I wasn’t sure what to expect out of this trip, but it was one of the best parts of our visit to NY.

Excellent evening in the harbor with Lady Liberty! Great crew and refreshing drinks. Don't miss this cruise!

Incredible!

Lorie_R, Sep 2021

The sailboat was beautiful and comfortable. The crew was awesome and sunset and night views spectacular. I love that we didn’t have a guide to talk through the entire cruise. We were just able to soak in the wonderful views of the city and the Statue of Liberty.

It is what it is

Cameron_M, Sep 2021

Wasn’t much of a sunset due to a storm that came thru but it was still very enjoyable service was kinda bad since we weren’t a small group but still was a good ride without drinks

The perfect date

sam_l, Sep 2021

If you time this trip to actually catch the sunset with good weather, this is pretty much the perfect date.

Wonderful sailing experience in the Hudson River

Ken_M, Sep 2021

This was a really fun experience. The tour of the Hudson River and a portion of New York Harbor was really excellent. We sailed for more than half the trip to the Statue of Liberty and back. They served wine and soft drinks, first glass of wine was free. Nice breeze. Great sunset views the first hour and amazing New York lights views the second half. The crew were very nice and helpful. This 105’ long sailing vessel, America 2, was scheduled to relocate to Key West for the fall, winter & spring, then back to New York for the summer.

Wonderful night!

Karen_B, Sep 2021

Beautiful scenery watching the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and gorgeous sunset. Very friendly staff and the experience of sailing!

Lovely Sail and Views

Quinn_A, Aug 2021

The sail was wonderful and really caught the beautiful skyline and Statue of Liberty perfectly. Only complaint was the boarding process, which was confusing and frustrating for some of the guests as their groups were separated. Once pushed off the dock, people then shuffled around to be together. Unfortunately this was a tad distracting to everyone. Again, the trip itself was lovely and we would do it again.

An everlasting experience

Alex_D, Jul 2021

It was an amazing experience. The crew did an amazing job handling the sails. The hospitality was amazing as well. The sight and the time of day was perfect.

Absolutely worth it

Sophie_K, Jun 2021
