We wanted a team event, and this turned out to be an incredible experience. Being outdoors on the water, away from the usual rat race, with close-up views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan’s skyline was unbeatable. What made it truly special, though, was the staff. We had to change dates due to a scheduling issue, and they couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Onboard, the crew was fantastic—answering questions, making sure we were comfortable, and even letting one of our colleagues help hoist the sails. The first drink was included, but we were having such a good time that we happily ordered another round. The weather was perfect, and since it was the off-season, the boat wasn’t at full capacity, so we had plenty of space to move around and enjoy the experience.

Our crew takes pride in being accommodating with scheduling changes and creating memorable moments; whether it's getting a great picture or inviting guests to help hoist the sails. We look forward to having the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Classic Harbor Line
Just awesome and lots of fun. Excellent service. Definitely would recommend every one I know to experience the sail.
My husband and I took the sunset sail from Chelsea Piers last week on the America 2 schooner. The boat was clean, the crew was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They were very accommodating and even took photos of us. Even though we were born and raised in New York watching the city light up is always a magical experience as was sailing close up to Lady Liberty. The sunset was magnificent. I would highly recommend this cruise to both natives and visitors alike.
The best time. It was perfect. The captain and 2 deck hands were absolutely the best. If you want a beautiful sailboat cruise with the best people then you should go. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.
What a fun afternoon! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and made the experience even better. Big thank you to Captain Sarah! Highly recommend this excursion!
Would highly recommend, we had great weather and it was a great way to be outside and celebrate July 4th. The crew were super friendly and my husband had a chance to be at the wheel which was fun!
The Guys are really nice and helpful....Zezo & Khaled 😀 The Life-Guards are all the time there...and help you in you need help...and we are getting friends :-) THANK FOR ALL GUYS...YOU ARE THE BEST :-)
One of my favorite things to do when I visit the city!! You see the magnificent city from the water, enjoy the Statue of Liberty and escape the madness of traffic and people for a few hours!!
Beautiful boat, very kind staff. Was awesome to watch the staff raise and lower the sails. Our family had a great time. Kids aged 6-16.
