Living in NYC my whole life, I thought I’d seen it all of the ways it could be seen, but I was wrong. I took Manhattan By Sail’s Sunset Jazz Sail, and I saw my home town in a new way. It was a truly special experience. The owner and crew made us feel welcome, and even invited us to help raise the sails. The owner created a custom non alcoholic cocktail for me, which was delicious. As the sun set over the harbor, jazz musician Mike set the mood while we enjoyed stunning views of the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island, Ellis Island, and lower Manhattan. We returned to shore as night fell, yesterday’s super moon reflected in the waters of the harbor. Whether you’re visiting NYC, or are local, Manhattan By Sail will show you the city in a way you’ll always remember. I will definitely be back.

Once In A Lifetime Amazing Experience October 2024 Honestly overwhelmed by how outrageously fabulous this experience was. Sailing by the Statue of Liberty with the sun setting behind it, sipping a Cabernet as splendid live Jazz floated through the harbor was a once in a lifetime experience —- both for locals like us and tourists. These are the moments you want to share with family and friends. This boat is AUTHENTIC and GORGEOUS. The sails are tremendous!!! If this wooden sailboat could talk we would be intrigued by its history. This is the real deal, To say the entire crew was extremely professional is an understatement. The staff makes you feel like you are in the World Cup - crisp Navy Blue uniforms impart the elegance of the yachting community. As the motor boats and ferries pass by you will feel a tremendous sense of gratitude for the boat you are on and the team that make such an awesome sailing adventure accessible to ordinary folk. This wooden Tall Ship is the most magical part of the South Street Seaport. Perfect.

Four of us decided to take the jazz sunset cruise. The two jazz musicians were, great the drinks on board were not inexpensive, but generous. The captain looked and spoke like a guy from an Adam Sandler movie, which made us laugh and a little nervous starting out. I was also concerned, I am prone to motion sickness, when I spotted how the ship was reacting to the wakes of passing boats. Those concerns were soon set aside, the crew is well trained, and I was even allowed to help raise the sail. My wife and I have taken numerous trips to New York and have done tons of things, but she called this cruise her favorite thing we have ever done in NYC. The sights were perfect, the cruise was relaxing and we had fun the whole time.
