They even have a cozy lounge area at the front of the boat where we could relax and take in the views. The boat also has a comfortable cabin with everything you need to spend the day feeling fresh and comfortable. We felt completely safe and so well taken care of throughout the trip. You can really tell how much they love sailing and sharing the experience with their guests. We'll always remember this as a true sailing adventure. If you're looking for a unique way to experience New York, I couldn't recommend it more highly.

The wedding package made all the decision making so simple but we really enjoyed picking out our delicious menu. The food was outstanding. The Aqua Azul is a beautiful, well laid out yacht. Our 170 guests were easily directed between decks for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. We lucked out with weather and had a warm and sunny late September cruise out of Jersey City. We left Liberty Landing Marina and went up the Hudson near the GWB and ended the cruise with a spectacular Statue of Liberty toast. Even our NYC guests were so impressed by the beautiful skyline and Statue of Liberty cruise and our out of town guests were blown away. Our evening flew by and our only regret was not booking more time aboard! Dorit and her crew/team were such professionals with obvious experience. We loved the wedding and our guests had a blast. Such a unique and memorable wedding experience! Over a year later I'm smiling remembering the beautiful day. Thank you, Dorit!!

I booked a sunset cruise with Captain Jack Boat Charters along the North Shore of the Long Island…read moreSound, and it was fantastic from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable, easily fit our group, and Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced (he holds a U.S. Coast Guard Masters License, so you're in good hands). The views along the Sound were gorgeous, especially as the sun started to set. He was flexible with our timing and made the whole experience feel personal rather than like a generic tour. Whether you're looking for a dinner trip, a sunset cruise, or just a relaxing afternoon on the water, I highly recommend reaching out. Will definitely be booking again for a future occasion.

We chose to do a boat with other people and luckily we were the first group there so we got to choose where we wanted to sit and sync our phone/playlist to the boat Bluetooth. BYOB- and they have coolers to keep your drinks cold, though it's just frozen packs in the cooler. The cycling is optional, the boat will still run, just a fun thing to do. We did go past Little Island, but unfortunately didn't make it all the way to the Statue of Liberty. A storm looked like it was headed our way, so the water was also very choppy. If you get sea sick, definitely take something ahead of time. It was 90 minutes and flew by. We had a great time!

Great way to wrap up the summer with a nice boat ride on the Hudson…read more.. Easy to book, easy to plan, and easy way to have fun! The crew here are on point and made this more enjoyable. You are given a timeframe and that will be your ride. Bring your own booze (no hard liquor though). A quick form needs to be filled out before getting on the boat for protocol reasons. Other than that, bring your own food and drinks.

I came across a deal though Living Social & figured why not give it a try…read more The deal was for after work cruise on Fridays u have to make reservations online & then u are set. My friends & I were here this past Friday , boarding is at 7 & departs by 730. Once settled we got some drinks & enjoyed the views. I had some Vodka & cranberry , this was not bad decent drink my friends had Jack & coke & Malibu & pineapple also not bad. First round drinks was reasonably priced think it was $27 this is not bad but they do offer an unlimited option for $50 this is a pretty good deal specially if u plan on having more than 2 drinks , we ended up getting this for the rest of the cruise. They serve food buffet style u can purchase for $10 not terrible if u are hungry one of the girls decided on getting some rice , chicken , ribs , plantains & potatoes not bad. The boat itself is ok they don't seem to put a lot of effort into making it look nicer it can probably benefit from some sprucing up maybe new paint , decorations etc. The real winner here is the lovely city views really can't go wrong specially on a nice summer day. Good music, drinks were good , food was ok prices & service at the bars were not bad this was a good deal to try a nice way to spend a few hours doing happy hour differently.

This was one of the most shocking customer experiences I've ever had…read more My reservation was accepted months in advance. I received confirmation emails, booking numbers, check-in instructions, and multiple emails thanking me for my purchase. Like any reasonable customer, I believed I had a legitimate reservation. At no point during the booking process, in the confirmation emails, or on my reservation was I ever told that I was on a waiting list. In fact, everything I received indicated that my reservation was confirmed. Then, just FOUR DAYS before the event, I received an email informing me that there was no space unless I agreed to pay $1,200 PER PERSON. When I called customer service to understand what had happened, I was told that I had actually been on a waiting list all along. That was the first time I had ever heard those words. If customers are on a waiting list, they deserve to be told before they spend months planning flights, hotels, and an entire vacation--not after everything has already been booked. Think about that for a moment. A company advertises an event, accepts reservations, sends confirmation emails, provides booking numbers and check-in instructions, thanks customers for booking, and allows them to spend months planning their trip around what appears to be a confirmed reservation. Then, only days before the event, it announces that the reservation can only be honored if customers pay $1,200 per person. To me, this shifts 100% of the risk onto the customer while leaving the company with virtually none. The refund of my small deposit did not refund my flights, my hotel expenses, my vacation planning, my lost opportunities, or the trust I placed in this company. The strongest legal disclaimer in the world cannot manufacture trust once it has been broken. Fine print may protect a contract, but it can never repair a reputation. Businesses are remembered not for the loopholes they write, but for the promises they keep. A confirmed reservation should mean something. Customers should not spend months planning a trip only to face what feels like an ultimatum days before the event: pay an extraordinary amount of money or lose the experience they planned their vacation around. Whether this practice is ultimately permissible under the company's terms is for consumer protection authorities and the courts to decide. From a customer's perspective, however, it felt profoundly unfair and completely inconsistent with the trust people place in a confirmed booking. I will never trust this company again, and I strongly encourage anyone considering booking with them to think carefully before making travel plans around one of their "confirmed" reservations. Trust is earned over years and can be destroyed in a single email. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here.
