We enjoyed sailing with Captain Pat, and appreciated how easy it was to book with him…read more He was friendly, personable, and the price was fair. His boat was also very clean, and he allowed us to navigate, and interact with the boat; The Dolphin. When booking this tour it's important to bring cash only, we didn't know that before our tour began but Capt. Pat was patient in allowing us to go to a cash machine. I would recommend this tour in Kingston, especially because boating services in Saugerties have a lot to be desired in the way of customer service, and I would rather go where the customer service is good.

The sail boat had a great kitchen setup with utensils available for us to use, which made everything super convenient. We cruised along the Hudson River and got to witness a breathtaking sunset--it was honestly the best experience I've had. The crew was not only warm and welcoming but also knowledgeable about the local history of the towns along the river and the different boats we passed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and great value for money. Highly recommended

The views of the Hudson were beautiful and Dan, the Captain, was a trove of information about the area and the other boats. The boat is spotless and the Hudson very calm. Best of all, it was a safe, fun, relaxing experience during a pandemic. We are hoping to make this a regular summer event!

As a non-New Yorker, I'm not that familiar with the it, and I thought they cleaned up the river, but I saw multiple dead fish in the water, which was a little off-putting. So, overall a 'meh' experience, I don't regret it, but probably would've passed on it if I knew what I was getting into.

Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.

It's an all wood vessel designed after the old sailing sloops. And I must say it's a very good-looking vessel. The crew, which was made up of almost all volunteers, were great and very personable. As part of the trip, we all got to help hoist the sail which was quite the experience. It actually takes a lot of work and people to hoist this massive sail. We sailed in the evening and got to watch the sun set over the city. We were lucky that there was enough wind to get us moving but not too windy that it made the sail rough. We had a such a great time and wished that the sail was longer!

There are no restrooms on boat or in the parking area of the park. They have an outhouse if you really need to go. Is down the stairs in a dark closet like space. So if your thinking of trying this makes sure your bladder is empty before getting on. The staff are very friendly and respectful. They can answer all your questions. It was a fun trip. Ring your own snacks they don't sell anything on the boat. I am glad I got to experience the ride on a sailing boat. But for me one and done works. You can help raise the sails if you want to.
