A great time, the crew were so nice and attended to all of us whether it be refilling our drinks or taking pictures for us. Loved that it goes all AROUND the island and not just the regular 34th St. to Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island route. Highly recommended.Written on May 31 2010

LOVED it. SO glad to have experienced it. The music was wonderful, the boat was beautiful, the # of people on the boat was just perfect, the snacks and bar were great, the ride around the city was fun and took the perfect amount of time. It was a little hard to hear the history of Jazz, as the speaker seemed shy, but that didn't take away from the wonderful time.Written on Apr 12 2010

Description
Take a journey through time aboard this Manhattan excursion that features live jazz music with historical background as you view the iconic skyline of Manhattan! Light commentary on the cultural and economic forces that shaped the evolution of this music connects the jazz pieces to the sites where they originated as you cruise around the entire island of Manhattan and through a century of New York City Jazz history aboard the aptly named 1920s style yacht Manhattan.
Hosted by Mike McGarril and the Classic Harbor Line Jazz Trio (all graduates of the New School for Jazz Performance), you'll experience a comfortable and unique cruise through the Hudson, East and Harlem Rivers with gorgeous 360-degree views of the island from the climate-controlled observatory.
On this 2.75-hour cruise, you'll journey around the entire island of Manhattan while listening and learning to the past century of NYC jazz.
Specific highlights include:
• The Empire State Building, the Upper West Side and the Harlem River
• Music made famous by NYC-based jazz legends such as Duke Ellington & Charlie Parker, plus selections from the Great American Songbook
• Parts of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, as well as the complete NYC skyline
