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've gone kayaking in the Hudson as well, and there are pros and cons to both. First you've got the location and backdrop for those cute pictures (if you want cute pics, just go to both). This place has dirty floors as you approach the water (on 72nd st, the floor is clean and the water is a mini jump below you). I almost fell while getting out of the kayak-the ground is slippery and filled with rocks. Other than that, both places have small boundaries, and a 20 min ride to go (honors system). It's a great way to enjoy your summer weekends!

Cheese board was delicious (wish I would've taken photos) and so were the cocktails. It was a gorgeous day out on the River and the Schooner moves at such a leisurely pace that you can take photos constantly. The air-conditioning was very much appreciated as it was a hot muggy day but beautiful breeze out on the water and the Captain did have a steady bit of dialogue as we passed by landmarks but honestly I was just chill with the music and the sites... the water wasn't very choppy so it was a nice boat ride. We parked on the Pier... and YES it was quite pricey $60.00 for the Mini-Van (oversized vehicle price) but we didn't want to walk far in the heat with the kids. I highly recommend this tour it wasn't congested on the boat and the service was friendly and accommodating.

Also PLEASE don't forget to tip the staff! especially at the bar... I was shocked at how many people didn't tip the on this boat ride. Respectfully Reviewed.
