I HAD to go back to this because it's such an amazing experience. I'm sure they do more than "Fall…read moreFoliage" trips but that's when I visited in the past. 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.

We were regaled with tales of Captain Rick's adventures as we took a pleasurable journey to Long Island to Louie's Seafood restaurant, also amazing but that's for another review. I could not recommend this more. Captain Rick is knowledgable, engaging, funny and a fine captain and human being. We are definitely going to do this again!

Although…read moremaybe it's a good thing that I waited this long to do it with Eric who made the experience unbelievable. It was a perfect day for sailing (nice breeze, sunny but not hot, clear skies, and not choppy water). This is definitely an activity that I will come back for. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable about NYC's history and shares it all. His boat is gorgeously kept and is incredibly comfortable and modern with a traditional feel. More importantly you can tell he enjoys what he does, which makes it amazing for those sailing with him. It's also a very relaxing experience. We went out on the 4 hr tour and it went by so incredibly fast! If you have the time I definitely recommend doing the 4 hr as it's the perfect amount of time to enjoy the experience. However, if you don't have the time I very much encourage taking the shorter tour so you can experience a great time. A must-do in NYC!

He had everything prepared and well planned: Drinks, route, safety equipment and amenities. The weather was perfect as it was the beginning of June. The boat is a beaty, and I was really impressed about how detailed oriented his captain is about keeping it looking and running so fine! Whether you refer to yourself as a day Sailer, sailboat rider, a weekender sailboat, or pocket cruisers, or just an immature boat lover like me - looking for some time in the water, there's no better way to enjoy the thrills of coastal sailing and wind than on this beautiful sailboat. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
