    Magical
    I just want to give a heartfelt thanks to your customer services in the booth. We managed to miss out Jazz Sail by a few minutes 😔, but they were kind enough to let us wait until the sunset cruise is ready to disembark to see if there is a table available, and there was. The experience itself was breathtaking, the beauty of the yacht, the skyline and the wine were just magical.

    The Perfect Voyage
    I can't imagine a better time. Perfect weather, perfect boat, and NYC at it's very best. We had a wonderful time talking to a couple from New Zealand. The boat has more than enough space for the passengers. Friendly and helpful crew. The whole thing felt like a real luxury. It is hard to find undiscovered gems in the city but this boat ride qualifies.

    Warning- it's meant to be a quite tour- no talking allowed!
    It was a beautiful boat and really kind service from the crew members and bar staff. One thing to note- there was no warning until we got there it was a "Quite cruise". We booked an outing for our team at work and no warning when we bought 9 tickets that we weren't going to be allowed to talk to each other. We were shushed and asked to sit outside by the tour guide. For something that was advertised as a group activity, there should have been a warning that this is a silent group activity.

    Lovely!!!
    Lovely experience, intimate, amazing crew! The food was pretty good considering ship environment. The mini-cheesecakes were not so good, but everything else very tasty. The crew was delightful, the captain entertaining. Just the right number of people and time.

    Evening cruise failed.
    Used Viator twice and both times they have failed. Purchased tickets for a San Siro tour only to be told two days before tour not available. Booked with someone else. Booked an evening New York cruise, only to arrive at the pier to be told there is a problem, cruise is cancelled. When asked to speak to anyone in. Charge was told to go away in a rude manner. When ringing the telephone number I explained the situation, explained it cost me $75 in taxi fares to get there and back and bearing in mind we were in New York only 4 days , this wasted one evening. Although I have received a refund , no talk of reimbursement of costs. I will not be using them again. I will place this on trip advisor and any other media sites I can. Do not get caught out like I did.

    Absolutely wonderful tour
    This is an outstanding tour. The architect who informed us for 3 hours was so knowledgeable. We learned, saw the beautiful island, had lovely surroundings on the boat and just loved it. recommend to anyone visiting the city who wishes to understand its growth and history.

    Beautiful, fun AND educational
    I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Being from the NY metro area, I was looking to plan an outdoor activity, something fun and different but not too “touristy” to anchor a weekday off in the summer. This cruise was visually pleasing, being out on the water in a lovely, uncrowded boat with spacious table seating and 360 degrees of windows. It was comfortably air conditioned, and there was additional open seating available outside for anyone who wanted. As we had a perfect not-too-hot summer day, my daughter and I tried both, and found both options pleasant. My favorite part was the narration of our architect guide. I had never circumnavigated the island of Manhattan - to do so with such expert insights into NY’s history and infrastructure was extremely informative. We didn’t just learn about Manhattan, we learned about Brooklyn and a little about the Bronx, as well as the islands that surround Manhattan. I highly recommend this cruise as an excellent “edutainment” opportunity. I would be willing to do it again! (We accompanied this with a walk across the High Line, late lunch at Chelsea Market and a visit to Little Island - altogether a great outdoor day in NYC!)

This cost pretty much exactly three times more than the cruise I’d originally booked, but when I saw that boat go racing by, crammed to the gills, I was even more grateful I’d actually read the reviews and canceled that one. This was worth every extra penny for a leisurely cruise along the Hudson and over to the Brooklyn Bridge, where we turned around, for my partner and me and our 10-year-old. Small, uncrowded, great service. Full bar is a superb touch. Probably would be nice if there were any sort of cancellation policy, because a lot else went awry on this trip, and the transit to Chelsea Piers could have too … but thankfully it did not!

We had a party of 8 spanning from age 3 to 86, and everyone loved it! It’s a small boat so a little rocky at times, but the captain is good in maneuvering the boat and letting you know that the boat is going to be rocky. The boat is very clean and beautiful. They give you one free drink and you can buy delicious appetizers if you would like. It’s a nicer experience than the usual Circle Line because it’s a smaller, more intimate experience, and much fancier boat! Highly recommended!

We booked the Classic Harbor Line as part of a recruiting event. It was a lovely cruise with stunning views, exceptional service, and friendly staff. We were extremely satisfied! The booking process was similarly smooth – despite having quite a few (last) minute changes, Adam was quick to respond and helped us run the event the exact way we’d wanted it too! Would highly recommend.

The boat and views and snacks and drinks are amazing. However, I could not hear a thing the tour guide was saying because the speaker system was so bad, which was a major reason we were taking the tour. That needs to be addressed to make this a great tourist option for those who actually want to learn things about the city.

Hello, Thank you for taking some time to review your cruise. We are happy to hear that you were able to enjoy the incredible views of the harbor in comfort, and we apologize that the sound system was not functioning as it is intended. We will pass along this feedback to the maintenance team to check on the sound system as we certainly do not want our guests to miss out on the commentary. We hope you will join us again in the future! Warmly, Classic Harbor Line

After paying $156 for my family my son unexpectedly got sick and I explained I couldn’t come because of that reason. I was offered a gift certificate instead of a refund which unfortunately my family and I are from California. This was a awful experience and I wouldn’t ever under any circumstance deal with this company again.

It was a very intimate setting, very comfortable, great views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty from inside and outside the boat. The narrating was limited but easy to understand. The boat is gorgeous. There was not the packed crowd of people and there was plenty of room to move around. They also provided one free alcohol or non-alcohol beverage, which was a nice touch. Lite snacks were available for purchase as well. We would highly recommend this tour.

It was a perfect trip. Clean comfortable boat with kind ship hands/guides. Not too crowded. Would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to see the Statue of Liberty but not have to deal with the crowds at the actual site.

Took my tween daughters for a mini excursion in the Manhattan Statue of Liberty and Skyline tour. The boat was super clean and the staff was were friendly! There was plenty of space and time to take pictures outside. The indoor seating area had light jazz music playing which made the morning activity super sophisticated!! We enjoyed and would highly recommend to families!

Whether you live in NYC or are visiting, this is a fantastic way to see the city and learn a little more about it’s skyline/history. The crew is always friendly and fantastic (and ready to snap a great picture to help you remember the day). Took an out-of-town friend this weekend and Captain Todd’s narration was great - loved that he mentioned iconic New Yorkers and culture associated with the sights along with historical facts!

The boat ride was awesome. It was a smaller boat which gave us a more intimate experience and wasn’t crowded. Seating is assigned which was nice. Not a bad seat on the boat. We were able to get up and go outside and get some amazing pictures. The crew were great and knowledgeable about the sights along the ride.
