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.
