I've booked this amazing new charter company twice now and I must say, there is no better way to…read morespend a day in New York City than on board this luxury sailboat! Nate, the extremely chill (and totally handsome) captain will take you anywhere you want to go while you sip rosé and admire the unparalleled views of the skyline. You feel like you've left the city and gone on vacation. The boat is beautiful and spotlessly clean with more than enough room for 6 people. Perfect to do with a group of friends or couples. There are all kinds of charters which is really cool: meditation sails, girlfriend getaways, romantic dinner sails, even a Fourth of July fireworks viewing from the water! If it's just a regular day, or if it's a special occasion True Sailing will be your favorite thing you've ever done in New York! For those scorcher summer days, being out on the water with the breeze is incredible! I've sailed with a few charters and this one is the absolute best! Can't recommend Nate and Elizabeth enough.

Whether…read moreyou're visiting nyc on holiday or you have lived in the city your whole life - this seriously is the best way to experience and see the city hands down. Nate is extremely knowledgeable and professional and goes above and beyond in making your trip truly unique and special! Sailed twice already with Nate and I'm from LA. If you are contemplating booking with True Sailing - book your trip already I promise you won't regret it! :)

Our group included lifelong New Yorkers as well as out-of-town guests experiencing New York for the first time, and everyone was equally impressed. Seeing the city from the water offers a whole new perspective, and Adam and his crew create such a welcoming, fun, and comfortable atmosphere. As a host, Adam makes everything easy and seamless.

I reached out to the owner, Frank, via yelp and he was very responsive from the beginning. He was happy to answer all my questions and even gave me a tour of the boat. We ended up hosting a company outing for a group of 20 and the feedback was great. The food, the crew, and the boat's history made for a memorable cruise around the harbor. The captain got us really close to the Statue of Liberty which made for some great photos. The group loved it so much that we are considering doing it again next summer. Thanks, Frank and staff!

He takes just as good of care with his boat as he does with his clients, and is super accommodating. *The boat was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Had a microwave and stove! Lots of space on the table and seating around it. *Location of the boat was VERY CONVENIENT!! Had a parking lot with lots of space and the marina also had ice (great when you have a cooler/in need of ice for drinks). TIP: Captain Steve was really kind in offering to help us with our cooler, and offered to bring a cart/wagon to put the cooler on to make it easier to bring on the walk to where the boat is docked. *Captain Steve: Not only was he informative about the areas, but he was also a pleasure to have a conversation with. My friends and I had a fantastic experience and enjoyed our time sailing and relaxing , and will definitely sail with captain Steve again this summer!

I specifically chose the JC port because it takes you around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (two attractions I don't visit too often). Whereas the Hoboken one takes you along the city skyline which I always see lol I will say if you get seasick please be sure to take your dramamine ahead of the trip to ease your nerves because it does get a bit wavey on the boat. The boat is BYOB (beer, wines, ciders, seltzers) nothing harder than that or you won't be able to board the boat. You can also bring on easy cleanable snacks. Overall really cool and different experience in the NYC area and I'd for sure do this again!

BEST WEDDING EVER!!!…read more I was all set up at another venue to get married on October 17th, 2020. Three weeks before my wedding, I was informed they were going to need to cancel. Frantic and ready to cancel, my now husband had suggested a boat. I googled party boats in Brooklyn, and the Atlantis came up, and to be very honest, I was skeptical, I called anyway. I spoke to a lovely woman, her name was Kelly and explained the situation, and she was very sympathetic to what was happening. She set me up with an appointment with Amanda to have a tour of the boat. My husband and I got to the boat and met with Amanda and knew immediately we were in good hands. This woman is amazing. Leading up to the event date, there were so many changes due to hot zones and what have you, and several times I was ready to give up, and it was her who told me, you deserve to be a bride and have the wedding of your dreams, and she and her awesome team delivered at every single turn. From Jamie in billing, which was so sweet, Captain Fred and his beautiful wife who oversaw every detail and cruised us around the city (some of my guests did not even know we left the dock until they were invited to the top deck to see the cake cutting by the Statue of Liberty). All the servers that none of my guests waited for a drink, the food was out promptly nobody was waiting, they were awesome, and the food was delicious (get the lamb chop ordures). Everybody on the Yacht was amazing. Amanda, we want to thank you for everything you did for us. We could not have pulled off the best wedding of all time, all the little details, the communication between vendors. It was like working with a best friend easy peasy. From the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Things happen for a reason. My husband and I are so happy the other place canceled on us; it would have been a nice event but nothing close to what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE all our guests and we had.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and the food was surprisingly good. The chicken and rice was delicious... honestly, I could've gone back for seconds, but it was one serving per person, which is totally understandable. The music at times was a little too loud where we couldn't hear ourselves talking. Even without sailing, the staff's attitude, hospitality, and effort really made the experience enjoyable. Would definitely consider booking again, just in the summer months.
