New York City Sailboat Day Cruise to the Statue of Liberty

Thank you for such an amazing 90-minute sailing experience! Everything was incredibly smooth, safe, and comfortable from start to finish. Check-in was clear and easy to navigate, and the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout. We enjoyed completely unobstructed views of both the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The sailboat itself was spotless, and watching the mast go up and down in person was a real highlight—something I’d never seen before and found fun to watch. Unlike those crowded boats where you’re packed in with too many people, we were a relaxed group of about 20, and the atmosphere felt easygoing and spacious the entire time. There was plenty of opportunity to capture videos of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty without feeling rushed. The crew was attentive the whole way, regularly checking in to offer water, beer, mimosas—or anything else we needed. We never had to ask twice. We’ll definitely be recommending this to friends and family. Highly recommended!

Very enjoyable and great experience for the cost. Very knowledgeable and friendly crew!

Amazing skipper and crew. Got very close to Lady Liberty. Very skilled handling of sails. Terrific experience on the water

It give you a view and experience off the city you can get no other way. This was my Third time taking this tour

Highly recommend Classic Harbor Line & their staff! Easy to book & an easy process upon arrival. The staff on our boat was accommodating, professional, and overall made sure everyone had a wonderful experience. We will 100% book with them again.

Totally different way to sail the Hudson. Good for locals who need more than the skyline.

Crew was friendly and cruise was enjoyable, particularly because it was a smaller more intimate experience. They had rain slickers if needed. Definitely recommend.

Had a great time. Staff was very kind. Made us feel welcomed and made the trip very enjoyable. We were able to get some nice pictures. Everything went great. Would definitely recommend and do again.

The whole team were welcoming and without being overwhelming It was inclusive and safe The yatch was immaculate and we saw an Osprey

If you’re looking for an experience that will leave a lasting memory, Classic Harbor Line is it. And I don’t just mean something you remember—I mean the kind of experience you can almost feel again when you think back: the wind on your face, the breathtaking New York City skyline, and the peaceful feeling of sailing away from it all. On this particular day, we sailed aboard America 2.0 with Captain Amber, and what a fantastic experience it was. Amber is charismatic, friendly, informative, and simply an all-around wonderful captain. We laughed, learned so much, and came away knowing things about sailing and New York Harbor that we never knew before. Thank you, Captain Amber, for the laughter, the knowledge, and a truly unforgettable day on the water. We’ve sailed with Classic Harbor Line many times, and somehow, it never gets old. Every sail feels like a new experience. If they ever offer a year-round membership, buy it—it would be worth every penny! Otherwise, book one of their beautiful sailing yachts or motor yachts and enjoy the food, the wonderful captains and crew, the service, the views, and, most of all, that incredible sense of peace you find out on the water. It’s one of those New York experiences that stays with you long after you’re back on land.
