Review the 90-minute Clipper City sunset jazz sail, with Statue of Liberty views, live music, drinks, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Sailing was cancelled by the provider (for safety) with a storm in the area in previous days. We totally understood this and they communicated early. However, all other providers still seemd to sail and when we were on a similar sailing with another provider we saw the Clipper City sailing on the East River with no apprarent problems, one hour before our "cancellation". Quite odd.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 3h 30m · from $143

Sail north from Chelsea Piers through autumn foliage, Manhattan views, and the Palisades on a classic Hudson River sailboat.

“So peaceful and scenic! There wasn't much narration of the sights or landmarks, but I'm guessing many folks don't want that anyway. This was a great group activity with friends and the crew was very friendly, they kept our cups full and made sure we had a good time. The morning sailing is a bit quieter from the afternoon sail from what I heard.”

14.New York City Lights Schooner Sail

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 1h 45m · from $67

Review the 105-minute New York City Lights Schooner Sail for skyline views, Lady Liberty, drinks, price, boarding tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The captain greeted the guests briefly, gave safety instructions and that was about all there there was in communication. There was no 'sailing' the crew did not even bother to raise all the sails. So, I would not call this a "sailing tour". The crew looked inexperienced in their activities and were not at all communicating with anyone. The 'champagne' was probably the cheapest money can buy. The band was mediocre and everything the girl said sounded more like a 'lets get it over with' attitude.... Overall, this was rather disappointing. The competitor does a much better job in making guests feel welcome on board.”
