New York Fall Foliage Sail up the Hudson River

the crew and captain were very courteous, timely and accommodating. we had a beautiful day with blue skies and calm water. the foliage wasn’t really out yet, no fault of the line. a drink (many choice’s available both alcohol and soft) and were very good. off we go. saw the skyline, and up the hudson. this is not narrated so if you want to know what something is, you ask. the captain should wear a mike because you could not hear any answers and we were only 4 people away from her at the wheel. once we reached the GW bridge we then just sat in the same place for an hour. they offered some cookies and/or chips but if wanted anything more to drink, you had to pay. it got cold. real cold. and this was not a morning cruise. they did have blankets but it was so cold, some guests and the captain wearing hats, gloves and some winter jackets. be prepared. after just floating in same place for more than an hour, we headed back. if i had to do again, i’d do the Manhattan boat, which is enclosed, vintage, small group and comfy. i think it shows you the architecture etc. probably goes right up the hudson. next time…

Wonderful cruise, attentive, expert crew and captain. Time on board was long enough to see the sights and travel above the George Washington Bridge to the Palisades. Thoughtful for the crew to offer lap blankets. Appreciated the complimentary drink and snack. Highly recommend.

The brunch cruise was sold out. We opted for the brunch less cruise We purchased some snacks, they supply you with drinks(alcohol /non alcohol) and chips It was a relatively small ground. Our Captain Felix was personable , professional and just a delight. He kept us abreast of the on coming sights. Their significance, etc. The interior of the vessel is well equipped . Once we set sail , you can move around. Sarah G ( thank you !) came around offering drinks. A personal shout out to her, I was getting a little nauseous ( always happens when I’m on boat).. She supplied with these anti nausea Wristlets. They really Helped. This was our third trip on these Classic Harbor sails. Viewing NYC from a whole different perspective. It’s buildings, bridges, it’s history These are the moments in life that you’re happy you made time for.. Till our next.. Bon Voyage

Great crew, friendly and helpful. Blankets kept us cosy and warm. Beautiful views of NYC skyline. Trip quite long enough.

I was initially imagining going farther upriver but obviously being under sail power it took us more than half the time just to get a short ways past the GWB. Still a very pleasant trip. I was very impressed by the crew, they were not only good at their jobs but pleasant to be around.

It was a nice ride.but forc3.5 hrs they should go further up in the Hudson River. The boat stopped n zip zag too much at the same place

My wife and I spent a lovely Fall day onboard the schooner Adirondack with our Captain Kat and Becks. They and the crew were friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about our sailing experience on the Hudson. We recommend them highly!!! 😃

The boat was beautiful and the crew friendly but unfortunately there just wasn’t enough wind and we motored for a lot of the trip. While the journey was long we didn’t cover much actual distance and barely made it out of the city to view any actual foliage. I would recommend but you have to set expectations.

We actually booked last year and had to cancel due to rain. We got a gift certificate and scheduled for this year. We were on the Schooner Adirondack and it was a beautiful sailboat. The crew were friendly and personable. It was reduced capacity due to covid and everyone wore masks. You get one free beverage both alcohol or non alcoholic then u may purchase more. It was a beautiful day and a perfect sailing experience. Great safe covid activity.

This was a fascinating tour on a beautiful boat (Manhattan II). The American Institute od Architects provided a knowledgeable and engaging speaker which added so much to the experience - helped by serving of wines and canapes! Highly recommended and vastly superior to the previous round island tour we did 20 years ago. In particular the boat is a beautifully finished (modern) replica of 1920's elegance; spacious, with comfortable seating and high quality furnishings. Air conditioned and heated indoor space with open deck space for warmer days.
