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!

Captain Eric is communicative, professional, easy-going and accommodating as to the sail experience we were looking for. It was thunderstorming on our originally scheduled sail, and we easily rescheduled our sail time via text. The Captain clearly is passionate about Genesis (his beautiful boat!) and sailing. We had a great time and would recommend for anyone looking for a laid back sail around New York.

The narration was informative, engaging, and easy to follow. We learned a great deal about New York City's architecture and history without it ever feeling overwhelming. It struck the perfect balance between being educational and enjoyable. The crew was friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. The tour includes one complimentary drink, with additional beverages available for purchase. Rather than having to keep going to the bar, the staff frequently came by our table to see if anyone wanted another drink or needed anything else, which made the experience feel relaxed and well cared for. The seating was comfortable, the facilities were clean, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable from beginning to end. This was one of the highlights of our visit to New York City, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the city from the water while learning about its remarkable architecture.

BEST WEDDING EVER!!!…read more I was all set up at another venue to get married on October 17th, 2020. Three weeks before my wedding, I was informed they were going to need to cancel. Frantic and ready to cancel, my now husband had suggested a boat. I googled party boats in Brooklyn, and the Atlantis came up, and to be very honest, I was skeptical, I called anyway. I spoke to a lovely woman, her name was Kelly and explained the situation, and she was very sympathetic to what was happening. She set me up with an appointment with Amanda to have a tour of the boat. My husband and I got to the boat and met with Amanda and knew immediately we were in good hands. This woman is amazing. Leading up to the event date, there were so many changes due to hot zones and what have you, and several times I was ready to give up, and it was her who told me, you deserve to be a bride and have the wedding of your dreams, and she and her awesome team delivered at every single turn. From Jamie in billing, which was so sweet, Captain Fred and his beautiful wife who oversaw every detail and cruised us around the city (some of my guests did not even know we left the dock until they were invited to the top deck to see the cake cutting by the Statue of Liberty). All the servers that none of my guests waited for a drink, the food was out promptly nobody was waiting, they were awesome, and the food was delicious (get the lamb chop ordures). Everybody on the Yacht was amazing. Amanda, we want to thank you for everything you did for us. We could not have pulled off the best wedding of all time, all the little details, the communication between vendors. It was like working with a best friend easy peasy. From the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Things happen for a reason. My husband and I are so happy the other place canceled on us; it would have been a nice event but nothing close to what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE all our guests and we had.
