To start, the arrival instructions emailed in advance were accurate and easy to follow and accounted for local construction. Our tour was for us and one couple; Captain Bryant was our captain, and he was an absolute delight. He went through the safety information and told us what to expect from our time on the water as well as some information about our boat before leading us to it right on time. The boat was at the end of the floating docks with a lockable storage container nearby in case anyone wanted to store purses or backpacks. We got a bit of a chuckle once we got on board, because we had never seen seats like this on a boat before! The seats were two across and you sat on one by straddling. Grab bars were at the front. (There aren't any seatbelts!) Captain Bryant told us the seats in the front were the "bounciest", so naturally, that's what we chose. We went slowly out of the marine before -- with a heads up -- our captain got us to what felt like a pretty high speed! My mom and I are both moderate adrenaline junkies and were pretty thrilled. It was a definite rush but never, ever felt unsafe. From there, Captain Bryant alternating between "hitting the gas" and stopping at multiple spots for absolutely stunning views of midtown, downtown, the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and more. He was super clear, easy to understand, and informative about each stop but never boring. He also took photos (with our own phones) at the stops whenever we wanted, which was very kind. He got us back after the hour -- again, right on time, and we chatted with him a bit about how enjoyable he finds this job. It's clear in the entire experience what a wonderful fit it is for him -- and he is for it. I wouldn't recommend this tour for someone with mobility or balance issues, or someone who would feel exposed and anxious in such a relatively small (but FAST) boat out on the rivers. But for me, it's one of my favorite boat tours I've ever taken anywhere. It was 1000% worth the money (with no upselling!).

It was an hour and a half. The bus arrived and we had to wait another 45 minutes before the bus moved. Arriving at the harbor we were told to wait out in the hot sun for another hour before boarding the boat. Some people just walked off totally disgusted. The experience was a nightmare! Don't waste your money. The staff would not answer questions. I asked to speak with the manager and was told they didn't know who the manger was; just another lie.

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!

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.

Downtown makes sense, since there are plenty of attractions surrounding the lower Hudson and East Rivers architecturally. NY Harbor Line maintains a small fleet of yachts, either sail (Schooner Adirondack) or motor yacht (Kingston or Full Moon) which can hold up to 40 - 50 people comfortably. Tours are very informative and some serve food and drinks. You can also bring your own food and non alcoholic beverages on-board. Definitely bring your camera for the many photo opportunities on the water! Prices are reasonable depending on the trip, some are an hour, 1 1/2 hours or 3 hours. You can also book a private party tour for a group rate. I definitely recommend seeing the sights of New York city on a yacht with Classic Harbor Line!

Fall foliage, boats, beer, cider, Bavarian food, and four hours on the water? Honestly, what more…read moredo you need? We did the fall foliage tour with an Oktoberfest theme and had such a fun time. It was a four-hour delightful ride with plenty of food, drinks, sightseeing, and fresh air. Our guide, Andy, was fantastic. He had SO many facts about the city and everything we were seeing--and he was hilarious. Honestly, I think Andy could probably carry an entire conversation by himself if you stopped responding. He just keeps going! But in the best possible way. The themed drinks were a lot of fun. I had an apple cider mimosa, which felt very appropriate for a fall boat ride. They also had a special Oktoberfest mug for $45 that came with FREE REFILLS. My friends took advantage of that for the beer and cider, because apparently they understood the assignment. Food-wise, we shared a HUGE Bavarian pretzel and an apple cider donut. There were also larger food plates available for $16.50 if you wanted to make a whole meal of it. When we went, the leaves were just starting to change, so I can only imagine how gorgeous this ride will be once the colors really come in. I'm guessing mid-November could be spectacular. And PLEASE get upstairs. Take in the fresh air, let the sun hit your face, and actually enjoy those views. It makes the whole experience. Dress warmly, though! I was in a sweater, leggings, and boots and was definitely feeling the chill. And now for the public service announcement nobody asked for but everyone needs: THE BATHROOMS AREN'T SCARY. They actually have multiple stalls. They automatically flush. You will survive. Happy boating, sightseeing, drinking, eating, and aggressively looking at leaves! Would absolutely do this again.

However, the experience did not fully live up to the advertised hype. I was a bit surprised with how old the boat was. It felt very dated for a modern vessel. Next, the seats are literally folding chairs. I found this not only dangerous but also uncomfortable as our entire day was 8hrs. For the price we paid ($89) not even a complimentary drink or treat was included. Every item of food had to be purchased on the boat. I found this really disappointing! I spent $16.50 on a disgusting plate of German food. However, the food sold in their concession stand was better albeit expensive. They let us off in Bear Mountain for what was supposed to be a three hour stop but turned into a two hour stop from them running behind. To our disappointment, the zoo featured in the park had barely any animals in it and we did not see one bear in the entire time. The highlight for me was the beautiful view of the fall foliage mountains near the middle of the park and lake. Although the amenities were lacking and we were packed in like sardines, I did have a wonderful day with my friends, but I honestly felt that this cruise was a bit overrated and would not recommend it.
