This was such a great experience! The guide told us about the stuff on the river for about 45 minutes. And, then for the other 45 minutes they played great music at a mellow sound. Captain FRANK is AWESOME! Very few people would scan your ticket, and then make an effort to pronounce each person's name as they got on the boat, but he did! Give him a raise!
The staff was extremely pleasant and polite, got to see a bunch of eagles! overall great experience.
Thanks for cruise with us! We appreciate the feedback and review.
Fabulous way to spend an afternoon in the sun on the river. I learned a bit of Hudson River history too! Excellent time.
Thank you for your patronage!!
A great way to learn about Albany during a heat wave, or any other time! We loved that there was easy, free parking right onsite. Easy boarding and a marvelous narrator/guide. Was challenging to hear occasionally due to people that were not as invested in the narration or history. We could have moved but the breeze from the water and the great vantage point made it worth trying to listen thru folks. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Excellent and informative tour with lots of historical facts about Albany and the Hudson River. Peter, our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area.
Great time with my hubby celebrating his 50th birthday. Never knew how much history was in our area. Everyone that works there are friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. We are probably going to go back again with the kiddos. Highly recommend 😃
A very pleasant experience on a comfortable boat. Guide was informative, but could have more to say about the history of the River and its wildlife. Saw Bald Eagles fishing, which was a thrill. The cruise provided an opportunity to see the area from this historical perspective of the Hudson River. Easy/free parking was also appreciated.
Well run, clean vessel, as advertised. Nice overview of the area.
I highly recommend taking a cruise with Dutch Apple! It was the perfect length, we learned a lot, the boat is gorgeous and the staff amazing. We brought our dog and they were very welcoming of her! (They even brought her treats!).
Very nice chill experience. There is not much to see, but it's fine, relaxing. Narration ok. Friendly crew. good music. I saw 3 eagles! Bring binoculars or you can rent on the boat.
