Great tour for our group of 9!

Great cruise, Great captains... we'll worth the money. If you are looking for a narrated sightseeing tour this is not the cruise for you. If you want beautiful scenery on a beautiful small yacht... this is the one! It was perfect for our group

Operator response

Krista, thank you for booking a tour with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that the cruise was a great experience for your group of nine. We appreciate you noting what kind of experience to expect — beautiful scenery aboard a lovely small yacht is one product that we aim to deliver, but we also have other options with professional narration that are great for those wanting the other type of experience. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon! - Classic Harbor Line

Would not recommend

Not a narrative cruise. It was great sailing around but as a tourist I had no idea what I was looking at. The captain did offer to take pictures of you but expressed he was only doing it because he had to and if you asked him for more than 1 picture- he rolled his eyes.

Operator response

Debi, thank you for booking a cruise with us and taking some time to provide your valuable feedback. We're sorry to hear that there were some disappointing aspects to your experience. We do offer some tours with extended professional narration that might have been a better fit, and we hope you will consider trying one of those on another occasion. Your comments about the customer service are very out of character for the crew on your trip, so we wonder if this might have been an attempt at a joke that did not land, or maybe it was an off day. Either way, it sounds like there was room for improvement, and we will be sure to connect with the crew about that. We appreciate your perspective and hope to be able to provide you with an all-around great experience another time! - Classic Harbor Line

Very pleasant cruise

Very pleasant cruise with soft music playlist. Onboard snacks not much but decent drinks for pay. One free champagne. Overall very nice experience and opportunity to meet people on a boat with a small number of passengers. Great view of Statue of Liberty.

Perfect New York experience!

Such a fun experience! We’ve done the big boats with huge crowds. This is NOT that. Beautiful boat, uncrowded, great service. No better way to see the Statue of Liberty

Exceeded expectations.

We were on a small boat with two crew and about 15 passengers - a nice size. We were taken past all the major sights on the Hudson and East River. The crew member who looked after us was constantly there to help with taking pictures- and supplying beer! It was an evening cruise and the sights were fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend this.
