Reviews
- 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!

- Perfect sail around NYC!
Wow, that was simply the best sail I ever took. I always wanted to sail around NYC at night to see the lights and this was simply perfect. I love the old style boat and the complimentary wine and champagne and beer. Beautiful views of the city and we also saw the Statue of Liberty at night and Elis Island, etc. I want to do this every time I go to NYC!

- Friendly service and beautiful views
We were really looking forward to this boat trip and weren’t disappointed, it was the best possible view of the New York City skyline. The crew were very friendly and helpful and gave out blankets to people who needed them. Can’t recommend this enough, just be sure to wear warm clothing even if it is warm on land.
