Andrew is the best! Handles the biat through all kinds of chop and you never feel tossed around. He is knowledgable about NYC and a Brooklyn native. Helpful and kind. We will do this again. 34 ft Catalina

We had a great time
It was a great experience. Andrew, the captain, was very friendly and generously shared his sailing experience and knowledge with us. I also appreciated that we were a small group, which made the experience feel much more personal, relaxed, and enjoyable

Fantastic Trip!!!
Originally had booked the trip for early May, we get out and 10 mins later - the weather had other ideas. Captain Ian rebooked us for this past Saturday. The sail was better than expected. Views were great, boat was comfortable, insights to what we were seeing was very interesting. I would HIGHLY recommend this trip, and look forward to another!!!
