It was an absoultely beautiful day out. Came with 4 friends to celebrate a birthday. The service was terrific and as a New Yorker, it really made me appreciate the gorgeous views of the city that I never get to see being within the building walls most of the time. Some music would definitely turn the 3 star experience to a 4 star one!

We took the 4:30 Saturday cruise in perfect weather on a beautiful boat. The crew served beverages while we sat back taking in the sun, the skylines, and the harbor traffic. Just a wonderful experience.

This was the perfect thing to do on a Friday after a long week of hot, sultry and almost deadly weather. The sailing captain and crew were extremely professional and courteous that you felt that they were not working for you but that you were on the cruise with friends. They were young kids - both in school but working for the summer. The captain was funny and very lighthearted. The weather at 4:30 in the afternoon was great for a trip around the city. It was'nt too crowded either. My girlfriend NEVER had been sailing and thought it was so great we will go on the sunset and night cruises next over the rest of the summer. Bravo to all. Great for natives (as we are) and especially tourists. 4 Stars DEFINITELY !

More Details About This Event:

Climb aboard the Schooner Imagine and sail the harbors of the most famous island in the world. Trade Manhattan's noisy streets and busy sidewalks for a fresh breeze and a breathtaking view.

The Imagine is one of the fastest sailing vessels in New York Harbor, and is the current holder of course record in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner race. Imagine is also a remarkably comfortable and gentle vessel, so you’ll be able to sit back and relax while taking in the sights.

On this two-hour sail, you'll see:
  • The majestic downtown New York skyline
  • The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
  • Governors Island and the historic Brooklyn Bridge on the East River (wind permitting)

The trip includes complimentary beer, soda, and water. Food is not served during the sail, but please feel free to bring your own picnic.

Wind and time permitting, she will head toward Governor's Island, breeze by the Financial District and the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River.

The 1920s-style motor yacht "Manhattan," also built by Scarano Boat Building, is brand new to the New York City harbor as of spring 2006.
