Afternoon sail was incredible. Cruises along lower manhattan with close up viewing of the skyline, Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty. The crew was really friendly and invited us to help raise the sail boom. This was my third trip I highly recommend the clipper city crew
An absolutely amazing experience! The ship was quaint and comfortable. Plenty of space, and not overly crowded. We took our 2 year old and 1 year old - they both loved it! The ship was immaculately clean. The bar had a wide variety of drinks. The crew was kind and welcoming, very helpful and friendly. 10/10 recommend! We’ve done a few different skyline/Statue of Liberty cruises and this is by far our favorite.
Terrible communication. They don’t answer calls or respond to emails. There are much better options available AVOID AT ALL COSTS
The sail was good, the crew seemed to have trouble when getting the sail up and down and so it took them a long time. There is nobody on the tour that tells you something about what you are passing by.
Dear Debra, Thank you for your feedback. The experience of sailing aboard our replica Clipper ship from 1854 juxtaposed against the fantastic and iconic New York skyline and her landmarks, — Ellis Island, Governors Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, & Statue of Liberty — are the primary reasons why you would come aboard our vessel. We do not offer a narrated tour, because the majority of our clientele are New Yorkers and their guests — we are not a “tour” and don’t advertise ourselves that way. Our crew is knowledgeable and friendly and we always invite guests to engage if they have any questions about what they are seeing during the cruise.
Lovely! Live jazz music, great crew. Would do again. They even partner with KCBC for 2 beers unique to manhattan sail!
We accidentally only bought 2 tickets instead of 4. Elizabeth was so wonderful. The boat was beautiful. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day.
it was a perfect way to end my stay in New York on a beautiful summer's evening - I was a little disappointed that only 2 sails went up so we were still using engine power but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of the trip. There was a lovely atmosphere as a group on board were celebrating a couple's wedding day - plenty of room to walk around the whole yacht or take a seat.
