On Our Ticketed Cruises!
- A Fresh view of NYC
Loved that we encircled the island. so much we did not know regarding the structures. The guide spoke clearly and the sound system was excellent, inside and outside. He was also personal, walking throughout the boat, taking questions. I did feel that in the beginning, there was too much detail, with continuous talk. Would have liked a few minutes of silence between explanations to speak with those on the boat with me as we had just begun the tour and were taking it all in, getting settled, etc. The snack exceeded expectations, service was very good!

- Incredibly interesting boat cruise
Having lived in and near New York since 1970 it was very interesting to hear about buildings I had seen over the years but knew little or nothing about them. Plus there is much history on the tour about NY in addition to the structures – a fascinating trip we will take again.

- HANDS DOWN – Best NYC cruise tour out there
We’ve done a ton of different water tours. We’ve also done the free Staten Island ferry and of course the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island ferries a bunch of times. The boat is gorgeous, it is comfortable, and the narrator was super knowledgeable. It was not crowded at all and while my husband and I were dissapointed at first that we weren’t able to get an outdoor seat, once we settled in we were actually so glad. It was a gorgeous and hot day and the inside was spacious with those windows everywhere (it was like a large floating sunroom with the transom windows and glass ceiling). We could see everything perfectly. It was a 2.75 hour tour and I could have done it again immediately upon returning. The crew were awesome. I will do it again when I return.

- The Best cruise in NYC
There is no better way to spend time than on the Manhattan II. The AIA guides are articulate. The boat’s crew is very nice. Comfortable and informative and fun! I’ve taken visitors and locals, ages 12-82 and all have had a great time !

- Perfect NYC activity
As a New Yorker, this was a new and beautiful way to spend the day. Had a chance to see the city in a way I had never seen before. The boat itself was clean, beautiful and the staff were exceptional. Highly recommend.

- Highly recommend this NYC gem.
We had a great time on the AIANY Around Manhattan tour. We did it as a family outing and everyone enjoyed it – from teenagers on up to grandparents. The guide was engaging and funny and we all learned a lot. The boat was extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend this tour.

- Best NYC tour
Sixth visit to NYC and this by a long way is the best tour in terms of value for money, knowledge, relaxation and customer service. You see so much of the island with excellent tour guide and boat staff. Thank you to all.

- See the Statue of Liberty
A beautiful tour for all ages. Very informative and a true understanding of the size and capacity of NYC. Sailing past the Statue of Liberty was my highlight.

- AIANY Manhattan Architecture Tour, simply amazing.
As an architecture enthusiast, this was an insightful and fantastic tour. The tour guide, a NYC native and NYC architect, knew his stuff and was able to give both historical and architectural information. Circling the island of Manhattan via boat not only afforded views you don’t get when walking but allowed views of other islands and burroughs. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommended!

- Perfect NYC activity!
The tour was AMAZING. I am a native New Yorker and learned a ton, saw parts of the city I have never seen before and had an amazing time doing it all.

- Cruise on The Manhattan II
I visited my lady friend over the weekend and I wanted to do a river cruise. I’d taken part in one several years ago with a corporate function on one of the large ships. I wanted this cruise to be more intimate so when I saw the Sunset Cruises you offered I was sure this was the type of vessel I wanted to take her on. The ambiance aboard was terrific. The small number of people on board was just what I was looking for. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We shared a bottle of the New York Pinot Noir and it was delicious. The setting sun cast incredible light off the Manhattan skyline and silhouetted Ellis Island and Lady Liberty providing for some very nice photos. A very memorable evening for sure. The Manhattan II and sister vessel Manhattan are a great option for small groups, 2 – 12, wanting to have a more relaxed and casual setting for a river cruise around the southern end of Manhattan. I will recommend any of the trips offered on either The Manhattan or Manhattan II to anyone I know that is visiting New York. It’s a great value and in my opinion no better way to see the city skyline from the water.
– jhcherco (male)
- Such a great time
We really enjoyed the Manhattan II boat and crew. Everything was run very efficiently, clean, and professional. The trip was just the right length and so comfortable. Loved the individual booth and table seating, as it gave you some closeness and privacy with your group. Overall, very nice. Pick this one for comfort!

- Amazing Time aboard Manhattan II
The Manhattan II yacht was gorgeous and the staff was extremely accommodating. Not overly crowded for a warm Saturday evening on Memorial Day weekend and had very good outdoor seats/beautiful view. Surprised my fiancé for a date night and she LOVED it. It was one of the best things we did the whole weekend!
– lmoconnor04 (Female)
- Beautiful… peaceful…elegant. Highly recommend
A perfect evening on a beautiful, serene cruise. Nothing could have been better. Clean, elegant, excellent service. Nothing was intrusive. I felt safe as well. Thanks for a great evening for us and our out of town guests. I love New York! I love the Manhattan II.

Relaxing and lovely boat trip. Takes you around to see the most important sights. Guide who gives good info but not too much. Friendly staff. Would do this again.

- A fun and inexpensive way to see the skyline
We went with a small group of friends and had a great time. The price was very reasonable and included a drink. The boat was well-kept and the crew was friendly and informative.
– alex000432 (female)
- Exceeded my expectations
Great night- beautiful boat. Felt like I was on a private charter. Next time I will add on the cheese plate to go with the champagne. Perfect length of time (especially with children). My children were blown away by the whole experience, the boat ride, the Statue of Liberty, everything. We will be making this a summer tradition.

- Lovely Evening Outing!
What a great way to see NYC–from this beautifully maintained yacht! We had our 17-yr old daughter with us and she even enjoyed the cruise. We had perfect weather so I am sure that helped all of us enjoy a lovely evening. Great crew. So much better than being on one of those enormous cruise ships out on the harbor. Would not hesitate to take this trip again with other family members.
– jeffwhill (Female)
- An Outstanding Cruise of the Manhattan Skyline
An enjoyable time was had by all. Good friends, good weather, and good cheer. The cruise is spectacular. Great for typical New Yorkers that have yet to attempt to tour the Statue of Liberty, Ellils Island, etc. My friends and I will come aboard again!
– lorimilone (Female)
- Amzing venue for an amazing night
This was a great surprise! The boat is beautiful, not too large, has very comfortable booth seating and a solarium ceiling. The music was lovely as was the service. You can go outside and our grandchildren ages 10-15 enjoyed taking pictures of the NY skyline. Very lovely experience.
– cchandor (Female)
- Great views of the Skyline
The tour offers great views of Manhattans skyline and the Statue of Liberty by night. The crew was very friendly and the music very entertaining. The drinks and cookies included were a nice plus, too. Thanks for a great and very enjoyable evening!

- Best experience with Cocoa and Carols
We went on the Manhattan 2 for the nighttime Jazz and Cocoa cruise. The sights were breathtaking, and the boat was so clean and much nicer than we expected. Beautiful wood tables and booths. Just perfect!
– ckellogg00 (female)
- Great Hoilday Cruise!
My family had such a great time on the Manhattan 2’s Cocoa and Carols Cruise around New York City. The Yacht was beautiful, Staff was excellent and the Live Jazz band was Awesome! Thank you for such a wonderful holiday experience that will leave lasting memories for my family.
– ishmaelalvar (male)
- A MUST! if you’re going to NYC for the Holidays 🙂
If you’re ever in New York City for Christmas, you absolutely *have* to take the Cocoa and Carols cruise. My girlfriend and I booked this for the final evening of our Christmas holiday to the city and I can only describe it as magical. The classic harbour line boat was beautiful and combined with the festive lights and decorations set a romantic ambiance I’d say would be hard to beat – even in New York. NYC Skyline visible from the boat… wow. Although different than the view you’d get from the Empire State Building or Top of the Rock, the city is truly stunning from the water. With just the right amount of people on the boat to keep it intimate and with fantastic hospitality staff, I cannot recommend anything more strongly if you’re going to NYC for Christmas. Wonderfully romantic, ridiculously festive and great fun whether your taking your family, your girlfriend or even just yourself! You’d be daft to miss out.

- The only way to find some NYC Magic
Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Rivalling a private walking tour and helicopter tour. The cruise was perfect for viewing the city lit up at night and a great up close view of the statue of liberty. Perfect! The complimentary champagne when we set off was a great start, the music, cookies and cocoa made us all feel very festive. On our 2nd drink we opted for a shot of peppermint schnapps in our cocoa (additional cost) which was great to warm up after braving the cold on the deck to view the city lit up at night-breathtaking!! Highly recommend! Do not visit NYC at Christmas without doing this.
– RichDyson88
- FAB! Great way spend a holiday
I can thoroughly say that Mum and I had a great time! It was a lovely way to see the NY skyline! The cocoa, carols and cookies were great!

- Wonderful Way to See NYC by Water
I would definitely recommend Classic Harbor Line for a cruise to see NYC from the water. Rather than being “herded” into one of the large tourist boats, this small boat experience is a refreshing relief from the somewhat hectic NYC street experience. My entire family including teenager and young child said it was “the best thing” we did while in New York over the Christmas Holiday.
– vandagrift (Female)
- NEW YORK OVERVIEW
This has to be the best way to get a handle on this fabulous city! The boat was comfortable, the food more than adequate and tasty, and the commentary informative. You get to see all the landmarks and understand the geography and location of terms and places such as Uptown and Downtown the Financial District and Harlem. This was made even easier by the map provided … even if the landmark photographs were a little small. Simple reason why: There are an awful lot of them, each almost equally important. And, being a “boatie” from way back Manhattan II was far better (and cleaner) than the crowded cruise ferries many use.
– DavidBrown16 (Male)
- Superb activity in NYC
This was our first visit to NYC and the cruse was the highlight of our trip. It exceeded out expectations. We travelled with my brother and sister in-law whom have travelled to NYC many times to see their daughter. They had never done the cruise and were also blown away by the whole experience. Great food and friendly staff.

- Romantic trip aboard Yacht Manhattan II
My fiancee and I enjoyed every moment of our brunch cruise around Manhattan. The weather was perfect, making for fantastic pictures and beautiful views. The staff onboard were very friendly and the food was delicious. Before disembarking, my fiancee suggested we make this a regular outing; I’m hard-pressed to disagree.
– happy customer
- BEST TOUR IN NY WATERS
This is the tour to take. It’s calming and refreshing. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and didn’t overwhelm you with information or talk the entire time. Over two and a half hours of New York city scenery to enjoy along with a three part brunch with adult beverages available. It was very nice.
– dslewis (Female)
- Amazing time with an amazing brunch
A relaxed and beautiful way to circle Manhattan and learn a little about various landmarks. Watched crowded tour boats go by and was grateful to be on the Classic Harbor Line in total comfort with plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend.

- Do this for you Birthday!
Purchased this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and needless to say it was a smashing success! The crew were thoughtful and kind, attentive to the needs of the passengers and happy to answer any questions. The sights were breathtaking and overall it was simply a wonderful experience. We enjoyed it so much we’re taking some friends back later on in July.
– afinn39 (Female)
- Vacation on the water
Best way to end a work day — relaxing, enjoyable and unique given that you are in busy NYC and can have a very vacation-type of relaxation. We celebrated our wedding anniversary on the sail. Great service and nice drink options. Bring your own food (get it at Chelsea Market)!

- Romantic date in NY Harbor
My wife and I couldn’t have had a nicer experience on the Adirondack. The captain and crew was professional and exceptionally welcoming and nice and added to a great experience on the harbor.
– tsolnyc (Male)
- Fun date on Schooner Adirondack
My boyfriend and I were looking for a unique way to enjoy views of the city that was slightly off the beaten path.. The sunset sail aboard the Adirondack was a spike perfection. From the friendly crew, healthy pours of wine and beer, and blankets provided for our comfort to the gorgeous views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, this won’t be a trip we soon forget.
– janakivyas (Female)
- A great night and a great price!
A friend sent me a message about a the Sunday evening jazz cruise and I’m so glad they did! The music was good, the crew was friendly, and I liked seeing the city from the water. I also really appreciated being on the yacht–there’s seating inside and out and you can easily move around the boat. I’d definitely recommend this and will probably go again.
– scardwell (female)
- Great way to see the city!
Definitely worth the money! Would recommend this to tourists and locals alike!

- What a wonderful NYC night cruise!
My wife and I went on the Jazz cruise just the other night and it was breathtaking! Surrounded by some great jazz, circling near the Statue of Liberty at sunset, and cruise around the bottom of Manhattan, all under a full moon? Couldn’t have been more pleased with our trip. Top notched staff, comfortable boat, and great jazz. Can’t go wrong with this trip!

- Amazing Time With An Amazing View
I was looking for something other than the status quo for a Saturday night date and the City Lights Cruise on Yacht Manhattan was just that! We had a great time! On a clear and calm night as I had, the views were breathtaking and definitely added to the romance of the date! The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend it and would try the other cruises they have!

- Perfect End to the Weekend!
I planned this trip as the finale for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend in NYC. It was perfect! We all had a wonderful time, the weather was great and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. I would strongly recommend this to anyone visiting NY or looking for a different way to see the city.

- Classic Elegance and Exceptional Service Aboard the Stunning America 2.0
America 2.0 is beautiful. The staff was charming and very accommodating. The choice of beverages was nice and blankets were provided when it cooled down. I’d definitely do this cruise again or try another one of Classic Harbor Lines sails.

- Unforgettable Sunset Sail
Classic Harbor Line’s “America 2.0” sunset cruise is as good as it gets in NYC. I took my 99 year old Dad, who is sharp as a tack, relatively mobile (uses a cane), and until a few years ago owned a 42-foot sloop that he sailed single-hand in the Gulf of Mexico. The crew was fantastic and the captain graciously allowed my Dad to take the helm, which even for a 99-year-old old salt, was a thrill and certainly one of the biggest highlights of the last several years. The “bottomless” bottles of rose didn’t hurt the mood either. If you are remotely interested in sailing, don’t miss this one!!!!
– jmnewsweek (Male)
- Sunset Sail date night
Absolutely what my girlfriend and I were hoping for when we booked. The staff was friendly, the weather was great, and can’t complain about the wine and beer. We will definitely be coming back.

- Real NY Experience!
We wanted to experience the magic of the holidays in NYC, and the Statue and Skyline Holiday Cocoa Cruise did not disappoint. The cruise offered a unique perspective of the city skyline and the Statue of Liberty, and the holiday decorations were charming. The cocoa was a nice touch, and we enjoyed the festive atmosphere aboard the yacht. This cruise is a must-do. Can’t wait to brag about it when we’re back from holiday.

- Magical Holiday Experience
My family and I had a magical time on the Statue and Skyline Holiday Cocoa Cruise. The yacht was beautifully decorated, and the holiday lights in NY Harbor were stunning.

- It was so awesome
We got there, they were really nice, cookies, singing, cocoa, good drinks… man. My wife loved it. We went outside and it was drizzling rain and cold, then we ran in and it was super warm. Toasty. It was really, really great. I could tell everyone else loved it too. Plus the singers were really nice. I’d do it again in a second!

- Get cosy with Classic Harbor Line
We took the 4:30 PM cruise on Christmas Eve. The boat has a vintage feel, the staff is fun and welcoming, the tour was absolutely beautiful. And as a plus, we had two great singers for some christmas carols. I would recommend this cruise because the boat is just the right size with a cosy feel, the views of Manhattan and of the Statue of Liberty are great, and the atmosphere is friendly.

- Iconic NYC on an iconic boat
Embarked on the Day Sail Statue of Liberty aboard Adirondack and was immediately transported to a world of tranquility. The wooden schooner’s charm and elegance set the stage for a delightful two-hour sail. Sailing past the Statue of Liberty and witnessing the iconic NYC skyline was truly awe-inspiring. The crew’s hospitality and expertise added to the experience, making it a memorable journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing way to see New York City!

- Raise sail in NYC!
It was a beautiful day for a sail. Once we motored out in the harbor the crew raised the sails and we sailed to the Statue of Liberty. As we sailed down the crew served everyone the beverage of their choice, beer, wine, soda or water. They also provided color about the harbor and the buildings that surround it. My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was a great way to celebrate my husband’s birthday with the kids.

What a delightful experience! My friends and I had a blast on the Sunset & Holiday Cocoa Cruise. We wanted to celebrate with one another before we all flew around the country and went home for the holidays.

Having lived in NYC for years, I thought I had seen it all, but the Sunset & Holiday Cocoa Cruise proved me wrong. The holiday decor aboard the yacht was elegant, and the cocoa was a delicious treat.

I recommend this service highly.. the on board staffs are very polite and caring….the trip is absolutely relaxing and runs exactly for 1:30 hours (not a minute short).. the cruise is cosy and comfortable.. cant really find anything to complain about..
– SENJUTI (female)
- Very affordable and amazing sights.
A very different experience for us since this was our first time to New York and to experience it during the holidays was amazing. What a way to see the N.Y. skyline and the Statue of Liberty than from a 1.5 hour cruise while on a 1920 yacht. The cruise was very intimate and was great meeting other people. Thank you for this experience.

- Great Views with a Wonderfully Festive Twist
I bought this trip for myself and my wife for the expected views of NYC, but was gladly surprised at the festive feeling the trip delivered. As expected the NYC sights at sunset were breathtaking (so was the air temperature too mind!!) but the atmosphere on board made the trip A+ recommendation of things to do in NYC. You can drink as much cocoa and eat as many cookies as you wish and your given your first alcoholic drink free. If you do wish to brave the cold and sit outside then blankets are provided. The trip lasts 90mins and takes in all the river views of NYC and even stops just next to Liberty Island for a 5-10min photo opportunity. We’ll both HIGHLY recommend this trip for anyone that wishes to have a bit of festive cheer/sanctuary during the madness of Christmas in NYC.

- Winter wonderland on the Hudson
The crew was friendly and efficient and the boat was lovely. Seeing Lady Liberty lit up at night in the harbour makes you realize how incredibly beautiful she is. Dress warmly if you want to sit outside.
– carterclark (male)
- Cruise only Hudson
The scenery was lovely and the food was delicious. The Canadian couple we were showing NYC had never been to NY before so we thought it would be a great way to see Manhattan from the water. Going all the way to the Tappan Zee was pretty. Manhattan had so many interesting sights to see. The crew was very helpful and very friendly. Overall, it was a good experience.

- Fall Foliage tour much enjoyed by all our party
This was a socialising event I organized on the spur of the moment from the UK for three work colleagues and our partners coming to a New York for a wedding of an ex colleague. This was first time in New York for most of the people and it turned out that this activity was a perfect relaxation from the usual hectic tourist chase round Manhattan. The motor yachts old time design; it’s compact size but still with good room on deck and a spacious, comfotable saloon were really appreciated The foligage was beautiful; the weather was kind to us and we were all pleasantly suprised by both the quality and selection of the food. The trip length was probably perfect for most people though personally I’d really love to do the longer trip further up the Hudson if the opportunity ever arises.

- Plentiful food, courteous staff, beautiful cruise
There were five in my group — two couples and one single. Three of us had been on the Manhattan before, but not for a brunch. We were, again, blown away by the quality and quantify of the food and drink provided. The staff, as always, was efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a more pleasant day, weather-wise, which contributed greatly to our experience. However, we all summarized that, even if it had rained, the whole morning would still have been a pleasure!! Thank you again for a wonderful day!!
– JeanneEd (Male)
- Terrific trip – great food – thoughtful crew
We all had a great time on board. We got lucky with the weather, which was picture perfect for a mid October day. the crew was very friendly, and the passengers were a mix of tourists, and local New Yorkers, like ourselves, wanting to act like tourists for a day. The food was never-ending, and very tasty, and the crew was helpful, professional, and friendly. The boat is beautiful, and comfortable inside and out. Of course, it’s great if you have a nice clear day, with relatively warm weather and a calm river, like we had. Thanks for a good time to the whole crew!

- What a Wonderful Way To Spend a Saturday Afternoon
The day was sunny but cold. Staff was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. Plenty of food. The views were fantastic and the leaves were just magnificent. Enjoyed history and anecdotal stories from captain and crew as we sailed. Our group was outside on the deck a good part of trip. Would definitely recommend this outing!
– Mkirschner (Female)
- Excellent trip on the Hudson
We went on the brunch cruise to celebrate my son’s 30th. There were 6 of us and we had a ball. The boat itself was great in that it had lots of glass and openess. I liked the seating as we were able to have our group comfortably together. Staff was great and friendly. Food was very good- 4 courses nicely paced and beautifully presented. It was a gorgeous fall day which didn’t hurt!. 3 hours flew by-highly recommended.

- Holiday Jazz Cruise
My husband and I treated ourselves to an evening cruise on the Manhattan. As always on the Classic Harbor cruises, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Viewing Manhattan’s city lights is just beautiful and what could be better than listening to a jazz ensemble while doing so! The staff was friendly and informative as were the guests. This was our first time on the Manhattan II, but we have been on the Adirondack a number of times and look forward to a trip on the America next summer.

- Amazing holiday experience!
I got an email about the holiday jazz cruise when my parents were visiting from out of town. I’m so happy we decided on this impromptu activity! This was by far their favorite thing we did in NYC while they were here. The crew couldn’t have been more friendly and it was the perfect way to show them the sites and get into the holiday spirit all at the same time. The jazz band was awesome and they served champagne and hot chocolate on board. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could!

- Holiday Jazz?! SO Much Fun!
This was the first activity that our group had planned for our vacation in NYC. What a wonderful surprise! The Holiday Jazz Cruise was perfect! From the wonderful music and the Christmas carol sing a long to seeing the city skyline and the Statue of Liberty at night, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more!
– 1Becca2 (Female)
- Nothing short of wonderful
My mother and I take a “girl trip” to NYC every year. I discovered this excursion via TripAdvisor and signed up enthusiastically once I saw the pictures and read the reviews. I can tell you it lives up to expectations. The Manhattan II just shines. It is clean, beautifully decorated, a smooth sail. The team managing the trip are engaging and friendly. We took the Holiday Jazz Cruise and would do it all over again. The musicians were talented and played fantastic music throughout the entire sailing with just one brief break. We purchased the cheese plate, which was better quality than anticipated and very enjoyable as we sipped our wine. I highly recommend this.

- Christmas Jazz and a nice boat ride
As my husband and I LOVE Christmas, this was a nice way to get into the holiday spirit. The Holiday Jazz cruise was great, we got to drink hot cocoa, were treated to Christmas cookies, saw Manhattan and Brooklyn from the harbor at night and listened to fun Christmas jazz music. Would definitely do this again if we come back for Christmas in New York.

- Better than I had even expected!
The boat was really comfy and cozy. The atmosphere was friendly and festive. They even gave us blankets to wrap up with to go out on the deck. I highly recommend going deckside for at least part of the ride. You can see well thru the huge glass windows but there’s just something special about standing against the rail watching the brilliants city lights go by and especially seeing the Statue of Liberty at night. It was awesome.
– terrylsavage (Female)
- Awesome experience.
I had wanted to do something special for my girlfriend when we visited NYC. The staff was professional and apart from the expected brief safety presentation at the start of the cruise was very low key. The view was gorgeous and the milieu on the ship was romantic and classic. I highly recommend this activity for any couple looking to enjoy each others company in a quiet, romantic way. I told my girlfriend I loved her for the first time on this cruise and it was an appropriate and monumental way to share my feelings.

My kids an their friends are always encouraged to ask questions and the crew has always been knowledgeable and friendly. The boats are super clean and comfortable. Not to mention the price is really reasonable for all that we get. We will return again and again.

The views of NYC at night were breathtaking, and the stop near Liberty Island was a perfect photo opportunity. The 90-minute cruise was the highlight of our holiday season!

- Wonderful no matter what time of day!
I have taken this boat ride many times (at different times of the day) and every time is wonderful. The captain is very friendly, the staff are very hospitable and the boat is simply beautiful. There is nothing quite like it when the engine is turned off and the sails are raised and you are swiftly sailing by the busy city. I highly recommend it as a before dinner activity or something unique and memorable to do with friends from out of town. There is something very special about sailing at night (even though day-time cruises are nice as well). A real New York City find…

- Highly Recommended Night in NYC
My girlfriend and I are a college couple who live in Brooklyn, and we were both extremely pleased with this perfect evening. We went on the Adirondack, which was a smooth cruise on a great summer night. The crew and staff were excellent, and the ride itself contained a great deal of scenery while we were allowed to sit or lay down on the seating towards the front of the boat. We are looking foward to doing it again.

- New Year’s Eve celebrations
The Yacht Manhattan II is a beautiful old boat that makes for a very stylish way to celebrate New Year’s Eve. The champagne tasting was an excellent addition to the evening, and the food provided was outstanding. The staff on board were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the cosy group setting, and met some really interesting people from other countries. The cruise along the Hudson allowed a magnificent view of the Manhattan lights at night, and of the Statue of Liberty where we parked up to view the fireworks – which were stunning. A very memorable trip that we thoroughly recommend.

- PERFECT evening tour to see the city lit up!
Four of us went on the 9:30 pm City Lights Sail on America 2.0 and I can’t say enough great things about it! The boat is incredible and the staff sailing it were a lot of fun, and did a great job sailing us around to get the best views of the city and the Statue of Liberty. We lucked out and had amazing weather – enough wind to actually sail and not use the motor – which made for such a memorable experience. We were in NY for the weekend for my mom’s birthday, and this was the highlight of the trip! I would highly recommend this cruise, and this boat in particular, especially if you enjoy being out on the water!

Raised a glass to the weekend on the Mimosa Sail aboard Schooner Adirondack and it was pure perfection. The schooner’s classic beauty and graceful sails provide a picturesque backdrop for a relaxing cruise. (I felt like I was taking a trip back in time in the best way!) Sipping on mimosas while soaking up the sun and scenery was the ideal way to unwind. The crew’s attention to detail and friendly demeanor made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend for a luxurious and laid-back sailing experience.

Imagine a beautiful boat and the crew superb, very friendly and capable. We took the 4th of July trip to see the fireworks and were impressed with the navigation skills of the captain when the harbor was so crowed with boats! We had a nice trip and the view of the skyline magnificent.

- Once in a lifetime experience
The fireworks were spectacular, as was the crew. It was a magical night for me and my family as we sailed for an hour afterward towards the Statue of Liberty and back. If you like New York as we do, it’s a breathtaking experience all around.

- Wonderfully civilized NYC fireworks experience
One is paying top dollar to escape the 1.5+ million-strong crowd crammed on to the river bank – and it’s worth it! The luxury of arriving less than an hour before sail time and having a (mostly) uninterrupted view of the pyrotechnics would be a pleasant experience in and of itself, but Classic Harbor Line knows how to plus the experience well. I was particularly impressed with the staff – a knowledgeable crew member effortlessly fielded my questions over the phone ahead of time (without any sales pressure), and another called me the day before to make sure I knew about the special security procedures for Chelsea Piers on sail day. On board, the crew were attentive and focused – primarily on making sure we had a good view (Captain did an awesome job holding steady in position for the 25-minute show), but also that we were fed and watered throughout. Hors d’oeuvres definitely exceeded typical harbor cruise expectations (freshly prepared and tasty). And the post-show city lights cruise down to the Statue of Liberty was a perfect way to pass the time until the piers reopened for docking. Highly recommended, and going to be my first choice for future NYC July 4th visits.

- CLASSIC HARBOR LINE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
Being from out of town we asked everyone we met, “What the best way to see the 4th of July fireworks in NYC?”. Much to our dismay we never really got a definitive answer. Not sure if people didn’t want to make the crowd worse in their spot or what but come July 3rd we were still not sure what to do. While the cruises are expensive they are worth every penny! The staff is ever so attentive and the view is phenomenal! Best money we’ve ever spent in NYC! Thanks so much for an incredible 4th of July! We will definitely recommend this to family and friends. Hope to be back next year!”

My mom and I go to Manhattan every year for a mom/daughter trip. We decided to do something different this year, and go to the Big Apple for Mother’s Day. I found the Classic Harbor Line via Google, and I am so glad I did!! We had so much fun sailing around Manhattan! The food was delicious, and the Captain and crew were wonderful. I was also very glad that there were not a ton of people like many of the harbor cruises. There were about 40 people on the boat, and it was perfect. There was still plenty of room to enjoy the views and food. I would recommend this experience to anyone! My mom is going back with friends in September, and she is already planning on the wine and cheese tour! Thanks for making this Mother’s Day special!
