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.

Two of my buddies and I went on the jazz cruise. The music was really great, the boat is beautiful (Manhattan II), and the staff were amazing. All of it combined with the views from the yacht make for an unforgettable experience. It was my first time to NYC, one of my buddies lives in Brooklyn, and the other flew out with me to visit him having been to NYC a few times - we all really enjoyed the experience, including the NYC resident, who had never seen the city this way. I can't think of a better way to take in the city and will likely try to do it again next time I'm out that way. Well worth the cost.

Many thanks to Captain Tom and his amazing crew for a fantastic sail! the captain and crew were very kind, charismatic, and knowledgeable. We had beautiful weather and the sailing conditions couldn't have been better. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the quintessential NYC sights from the water!

We've sailed on this line 3 times in one year. The first was on one of their sailboats, America 2.0. The 2nd and 3rd times were on our wedding day and anniversry, respectively. All 3 times we were treated to a beautiful tour of the island with wonderful, friendly service. I honestly can't think of a single thing to complain about.

Whether you're new in town or just looking for a relaxing weekend activity, I'd definitely recommend sailing on one of Classic Harbor's boats. Don't forget the sunscreen, if you're fair-skinned like me!

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.

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.

The perfect thing to do on a clear day. This was quite a refreshing view of the skyline and scenery of NYC and neighboring boroughs.

The architectural sail tour by the Classic Harbor Lines with the Met museum guide was amazing. Great crew was welcoming. The yacht was very comfortable with the clean toilets, drinks and snacks. The trip took us around Manhattan island with all the amazing building being pointed out by the guide. Live narration was very interesting. We learned a lot. Highly recommended!

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

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!
