Classic Harbor Line

We had an incredible experience on our schooner cruise along the Hudson River! The sights were breathtaking, and the service was nothing short of amazing. The crew provided drinks and attended to our every need with fabulous service. It was a truly wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable outing.

I rented the Yacht Kingston for a private event for a group of 20 people. Yacht Kingston is the BEST boat and exceeded expectations. The boat is very spacious, and the front of the boat (outside portion) fits a good number of people despite what you may see in photos. There are 2 benches in the front and plenty of standing room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We purchased the premium bar package and some food for our 2-hour boat ride. I would highly recommend the pinwheel sandwiches and fruit platter. The sound system was also great and hooked up to our phones to play music. A huge thanks to Adam Miller, Sales Manager of Classic Harbor Line for the quick responses of all my questions via email and phone. Classic Harbor has so many great boats to choose from, but Yacht Kingston is now my favorite. Thank you!!

Everything was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The crew on the boat were super sweet and helpful to make sure your experience was memorable and great. The food was delicious and the scenery was incredible. The price was reasonable for the amount of things you see and experience. I would love to come back again and I highly recommend.

Highly recommend this boating tour. The lecturer was extremely knowledgeable. The boat is not overcrowded. There is plenty of room inside and on deck.

I have done the cheaper trip out to Lady Liberty with the loud music.

It's worth the price difference. This trip goes by Statue of Liberty AND all the way around the island.

A girlfriend and I took the brunch cruise around Manhattan and it was one of the highlights of the trip! Can't beat the water line views and tasty snacks. Highly recommend! Bring sunglasses on a sunny day.

Enjoyed an Evening Jazz Cruise Aboard Manhattan in August. The boat is not big (perfect size), and very clean. Jazz was subtle. All the crew members were very nice, respecting customers' privacy and showed the willingness to help if any. Enjoyed very much and recommending this to everyone.

The ladies that took care of us on Classic Harbor Line were absolutely fantastic. They were kind, professional, and courteous in making sure we were constantly replenished on our drinks, taking quality photos of us, and overall taking care of us. When we told the staff it was me and my girlfriends birthdays this month, she provided us 2 desserts for each of us. We were stunned by the beautiful voyage that allowed us to see the stunning city that is New York and admire lady liberty from close up. Highly recommend this to locals and tourists alike to give this tour a chance - you won't be disappointed

Wish I wasn't giving such a low score because staff was amazing and overall we had a lovely time ! But there are some things we really didn't like/were aware of.

1. The boat we were on was not the one on the photos with the green booths to the side. We were on a much larger boat with A LOT of other people and our seats were just regular tables/chairs.

2. We were sharing our table with another family. This was not mentioned ANYWHERE in our reservation. This really upset me because the way that they word their tickets is that you pay more for 2-3 people because "A premium for smaller bookings due to the defined private seating spaces," yet our table was NOT private.

3. I know the weather is out of their control, however, this is a sightseeing cruise, if its foggy outside and we aren't able to see the sights, then we aren't seeing anything ! Additionally, the top deck was closed because it was slippery/raining. It would have been nice if they would have offered to reschedule our cruise for a better day. Their email confirmation does say it is a rain or shine event so I guess I'll give them that, but I honestly think offering to rebook for foggy/rainy days when you know your customers wont be able to see anything from the boat is the right thing to do!

I had a white cosmo and it was really good, the bartender was amazing! My partner had a "spiked" cocoa, but we didn't really taste any of the baileys. We ordered the cheese tray and it was really good as well, our baby really enjoyed it, a bit overpriced for three cheeses but whatever. Cookies were good too, and they brought a cake out for my partner's birthday, the buttercream was delicious ! But the cake itself was dry.

We might give this another try in the spring/summertime see if its any better. So far we left with a sour taste in our mouth.

Did the Sunset Sparkling Wine tour.

Fantastic experience. A must do if you're visiting. They took us out on the Hudson River where we got a fabulous view of the famed Manhattan skyline and NYC in general. Once we got near the Statue of Liberty, they slowed down and allowed everyone to do photo ops.

We got 2 wines per ticket then it's open bar.
The ride is a little bumpy in the beginning but once the boat accelerated, it became smoother. It's a little pricier than some of the other tour boats but you're not packed in like sardines. In fact you get your own table like in a dining room. Once the boat got moving, they allowed us to walk and cruise outside in the bow. Which was really fun! Ladies, just make sure you dress appropriately for windy conditions. I saw one young lady in a nightcluby dress and she spent most of her time holding it down.

The golden hour lighting during the sunset tour was perfect for photos. Especially when it shimmered and reflected off the tall glass buildings.

The crew was great! They walked around, answered questions helped us with photos . Of course we left them a nice tip.

Would do this tour again in a New York heartbeat on our next visit!

Happy Traveling!

My group of 6 did a sunset tour and it did not disappoint!! Everything was perfect!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The views were incredible!! I definitely recommend this to anybody and everybody!
