Our private three-hour sail (2:30-5:30) was perfectly relaxing -- just the three of us on a calm, overcast afternoon in New York Harbor, with a refreshing breeze and gentle waves beneath us. Captain Eric's beautiful sailboat took us up close to the Statue of Liberty and beneath the three "BMW" bridges -- Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg. The views were stunning, and the peaceful rhythm of the water made the whole experience feel like a world away from the city's bustle. What truly made the trip special was Captain Eric himself. His insight into the harbor's history and his passion for the Billion Oyster Project -- a local STEM initiative working to restore oyster reefs through education -- really inspired us. As visitors from North Carolina, we were moved to make a gift in honor of the impact Eric had on our day and his dedication to teaching others about protecting the local environment. If you're looking for an experience that's both affordable and unforgettable, book a sail with Narwhal Yacht Charters. We all agreed: this will be something we do every time we come back to New York City!

I did a girls trip this time and it was just the best time I've had all year. We felt very safe being in the open air and the boat is big enough for social distancing when needed. I just can't tell you one bad thing about it. We brought the drinks and food and the captain navigated us through the most up close and private V.I.P tour ever. This is my second review and I want to say that it was just as good if not better than the first time. Bring your family, best friends, or someone special. You will never have more memorable and magical time. When you split it's not even that expensive. Not for what you get. Totally amazing!

We've only had positive reviews on our company. Thank you Lauren and Graham for the great review. Enough said...." Sorry for trying to make my wedding day perfect. Next time I'll sit back and let you guys do absolutely nothing. DO NOT GET MARRIED ON THIS BOAT. These people are scam artists and do not care about your or your special day, only about money. They will consistantly tell you that they are there to help you and make your day special, and then they will disappear for months at a time. I was constantly calling, texting, emailing them for answers to questions and got nothing in return. They contradict themselves constantly. Captain Rob will tell you one thing and his wife Lezlee will tell you that Rob is wrong and what he promised you really isn't included. ******MAKE SURE YOU DOCUMENT EVERYTHING ROB SAYS FROM THE START.******* (I mean if you still want to choose this boat after this review). You pay for the majority of the wedding up to a month before the wedding, meanwhile they do nothing to help you plan or get anything done. Despite me planning out every detail of what should happen on the day, I got to a month before the wedding unsure about anything from their end. The day of the wedding we started almost an hour late because they hadn't gotten the boat ready (tablecloths weren't ironed, tables not set up, boat not cleaned, etc.) even though we made sure to give them all of the tablecloths 4 days before the wedding and they assured us every thing would be taken care of. They had our guests waiting on the end of the dock, locked out with no information. Luckily I had a family willing to sacrifice spending their day with me getting ready to go make sure the useless staff on the boat (that we paid a fortune extra for) could figure out what they were doing. So we started an hour late, you'd think we'd end an hour late, right? WRONG. The SECOND it turned 1am the lights shot on and everyone was told the party was over. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS BUMPED INTO MY CAKE AND THE MAITRE D TRIED TO SAY THE CAKE WAS DELIVERED THAT WAY!!!! So yes, the top of my cake was squashed. I understand accidents happen, but take accountability for your mistakes and go above and beyond to fix them. You don't lie about them. What is included in the base price for this boat is not enough time wise, and very old decoration wise, so you end up paying a ton for extras, including extra time (you are allotted a 4 hour cruise time.. If we hadn't paid for 2 hours extra beforehand, our cruise would have been over before the last table had eaten. That means no dancing, no cake cutting, no dessert, basically nothing. That is because it took them 2 HOURS to serve our dinner.), linens, decorations, etc. There were so many things that went wrong that I didn't have time to document in this review, but I want to end with the fact that I emailed them all of this information after my wedding was over and they didn't even have the decency to apologize for anything or even respond. They just take your money and move on to the next unsuspecting wedding party. It is my hope that this review helps people get the wedding they deserve, which means STAYING AWAY FROM THIS BOAT. Yes, the views are nice, but for the price you end up paying you can get married ANYWHERE. I'm talking rooftop in NYC, Chart House with the same view, another boat even... Point being, just know what you're getting yourself into if you book with these. They are not good people. As I told them, owning a boat does not make you suitable for accommodating weddings.
