Beautiful Sunday on the Hudson River

We had a beautiful ride with very friendly service. We had five full cups of beer and we heard information about each one which was very informative. The weather was great and the ride was smooth.

Very enjoyable sail. A few of the beers were a little heavy for my liking. Wish the Captain's microphone was on but other than that an enjoyable 2 hours.

Nice boat...not crowded...plentiful opportunity to taste, pleasant sail- would have like more of and out and back rather than staying mostly in harbour. Crew was very nice. Enjoyed the trip.

Great

Once we were on the ship it was great. The staff was friendly. The boat was beautiful. It was big with plenty of space for everyone to fit comfortably. It is a great idea for groups or couples. There was also plenty of beer to go around while sailing around the harbor.
