I can't believe I've been in NYC for 20+ years and I've never done this sailing before. Although…read moremaybe it's a good thing that I waited this long to do it with Eric who made the experience unbelievable. It was a perfect day for sailing (nice breeze, sunny but not hot, clear skies, and not choppy water). This is definitely an activity that I will come back for. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable about NYC's history and shares it all. His boat is gorgeously kept and is incredibly comfortable and modern with a traditional feel. More importantly you can tell he enjoys what he does, which makes it amazing for those sailing with him. It's also a very relaxing experience. We went out on the 4 hr tour and it went by so incredibly fast! If you have the time I definitely recommend doing the 4 hr as it's the perfect amount of time to enjoy the experience. However, if you don't have the time I very much encourage taking the shorter tour so you can experience a great time. A must-do in NYC!

We all have a blast - adults relaxing and taking in the views and the kids "riding" the waves on the bow and yelping for joy. Captain Eric is always professional, prioritizes safety and comfort of his guests, and has a wealth of knowledge about the area and NY sites. I highly recommend booking a sail - you will have a great time!

Nate, the extremely chill (and totally handsome) captain will take you anywhere you want to go while you sip rosé and admire the unparalleled views of the skyline. You feel like you've left the city and gone on vacation. The boat is beautiful and spotlessly clean with more than enough room for 6 people. Perfect to do with a group of friends or couples. There are all kinds of charters which is really cool: meditation sails, girlfriend getaways, romantic dinner sails, even a Fourth of July fireworks viewing from the water! If it's just a regular day, or if it's a special occasion True Sailing will be your favorite thing you've ever done in New York! For those scorcher summer days, being out on the water with the breeze is incredible! I've sailed with a few charters and this one is the absolute best! Can't recommend Nate and Elizabeth enough.

If you are contemplating booking with True Sailing - book your trip already I promise you won't regret it! :)

You don't always realize the beauty of the city standing so small in the midst of the concrete jungle, but being able to be out on the waters and looking at the expansive skyline was awe inspiring! Shout out to Captain Erin for showing us an AMAZING time and for being so hospitable. If you are able to request for a Captain, please ask for Captain Erin. She helped us get all the wonderful shots of the city and showed us gorgeous views in the time we had with her. She even helped us take some really cute photos - thank you for that! Thank you again for showing us the most magnificent views and for being our captain, Captain Erin!! So grateful for you and the experience! * Pro Tip: in order for us to not scuff the boat, we ordered silicon covers for our shoes - this helped a ton with maintaining cleanliness on our Captain's boat and also allowed us to keep our shoes on during the trip!

I was BLOWN away. The crew, especially first mate Jimmy, all the deck hands and captain were awesome. They had a NYC soundtrack ready to go, and since I reserved the whole space for buddies I was allowed to play my own music. They even kept my beers on ice on their cooler (but they had affordable beers / wine for purchase too) and were exceptionally friendly to all the guests. The boat holds about 30 people plus crew and for $60/70 pp it's a barging at twice the price. Highlights include: -educated exceptionally friendly crew that knows about boating and sailing around the world + history about NYC and the harbor -unreal views of the Statue of Liberty and coast -unique NYC activity for friends, great thing to take out of towners and way to show off the city -fun way to get liquored up.. Or enjoy 1 glass of wine like a "responsible" adult before going out for the evening -any and everything else You will not regret a trip on the Ventura and tell captain Pat Mitch sent you.

I have chartered many boats on Long Island over the years and none of the captains had the determination and willingness to put us on the fish as Captain Nick and his mate Robert. They came prepared with mojo's, plugs, live bait, and clams and after we caught our limit with plenty of throwbacks we steamed off to several of his blackfish honey holes to have the rods bend with some nice togs! Back at the dock Robert fillet and bagged our catch which made for a few very tasty dinners. Speaking with Nick, I found out that he actually won the Hudson Anglers Shark tournament in Freeport one year, so hoping to see him again once the waters warm up to see if we can catch the big one!!

The water was very choppy and the captain had to constantly move us back to our spot to get on the fish. The crew was patient and cool people to fish with. The morning and night crowd are typically the more experienced fisherman. The 2-6 pm time is more family oriented. Either way it was a great experience and will go fishing again next time in town.
