Our three classic yachts – the Schooner Adirondack and the Schooner Imagine (our sailboats), and the Luxury Yacht Manhattan (our motorized yacht) are reminiscent of the classic boats that cruised the NYC waters a hundred years ago. « less

I'm of type of person that avoids tourist sightseeing, but this one I'm glad to do it. The view it is amazing , the best tour starts in the afternoon and ends at night, so you can see the lights of NYC. In May/June it is a little could at night, bring your jacket.

My wife & I sailed on the America 2.0 for the City Lights Cruise on 5/18/12. We had a wonderful time. The city takes on a whole new look from the perspective offered by the cruise. The America 2.0 is a wonderful vessel, and her crew was very informative and entertaining without being overbearing. There wasn't much wind, so they... More

My friends and I enjoyed this very relaxing tour. Lovely views of the city skyline, statue of liberty and everything else were wonderful. Not to mention the cruise leaves from Pier 17 , which is an experience of it's own.

we always take a cruise around the island with either circle line or this company, i forget which. if this is the circle cruise. you get to see all that you want of New York and the commentary is witty and informative.

Easy online purchasing process. Beautiful boat, and wine tasting set up. The crew was very friendly and helpful. Wendy was knowledgeable and shared personal insight about the wines and cheeses. Wonderful mother's day present, the tasting showcased all women wine and cheese makers. I went with my mother, but it would be an excellent trip for a date/romance as well.... More

My wife and I booked the Campagne Sunset Cruse on Classic Harbor Line's Yacht "Manhattan." We couldn't have been more pleased. The staff was friendly and the boat itself, very comfortable. The complimentary wine/champagne/beer is a great added bonus. For the money, I can't think of a better way to travel around Manhattan.

This is a great way to get a different perspective on this great city. The tour is a lot of fun especially if you are from out of town or have visitors.

No better way to see the sights and enjoy the View of the Manhattan Skyline. The food is excellent, always fresh and the experience is over the top. Originally from Long Island and consider myself a NY girl.... Have cruised twice with them and it never fails to impress.
