Hey guysWritten on Jun 02 2009
So I took the 12:30 cruise.It was a picture perfect day. I would advise to bring a sweater as it does get windy. Full bar aboard as well.Bud Lights run about $5.50. All the guys on crew were very friendly. The captain you'll recognize immediately as he looks like Santa.No really. If Santa had a summer job, this would be it. There's plenty of seats but during most of the cruise hardly anyone was sitting,most roamed about taking pictures. They play music on the boat too. The bartender/DJ (LOL) played Bob marley which really set the tone I think. It was pretty awesome,even for a jaded native like myself.Would do it again in a heartbeat. No better way to spend a sunny afternoon then sailing,drinking ice cold beer,and listening to some Marley. Might wanna take some dollar bills along as they 'suggest' at the end that you tip the crew for their afforts. That's about it guys.Enjoy!

Was good fun and worth it for the discount price. Wouldn't be worth it if it was full price.Written on Jul 06 2009

although it was rainy and cool we enjoyed a relaxing sail around New York. The crew was informative and friendly and made it an interactive experience, hoisting the sails. We would return on a sunny dry day.Written on Oct 19 2011
