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.

Not far from the 911 Memorial, the marina was very easy to find and had great views of the Jersey shoreline. Captain Dave is a native to the area, so he knows virtually everything about this area. He pointed out landmarks and took us right up to the Statue of Liberty while telling us about Ellis Island and the other buildings in that area. The views from the boat were astounding, especially of the Manhattan skyline. Dave was really friendly and we had a great time laughing and taking photos with him. My sister and I had the BEST time on his sailboat, Tara, and we will definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend!

From the moment we stepped aboard the beautiful luxury yacht, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was perfect, with classic Yacht Rock playing softly in the background as we set off to circumnavigate Manhattan, passing beneath twenty bridges and taking in breathtaking views around every corner. Every few minutes another iconic New York landmark appeared, and it genuinely felt like seeing the city for the first time all over again. The food was outstanding -- quite honestly the best food we enjoyed during our entire three-week trip through the United States. The smoked salmon, capers and cream cheese bagels were delicious, the fresh fruit platter was refreshing, and the pastries, banana bread, croissants and apple tea cake were all beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The chicken and waffles were the perfect brunch dish and every course was thoughtfully prepared. A special thank you to the talented chefs whose attention to detail elevated what could have been a simple brunch into a truly memorable dining experience. Equally impressive was the service. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming, professional and genuinely passionate about ensuring guests had a wonderful experience. The hospitality was flawless from beginning to end. It is rare to encounter a team that delivers such consistently high standards while still making everything feel relaxed and effortless. What struck me most was the incredible quality of the entire experience. The yacht was immaculate, the food exceptional, the service outstanding and the views simply unforgettable. Standing on the bow with the Manhattan skyline surrounding us is a memory I will treasure for years to come. As visitors from Australia, this was our final activity before leaving New York, and it could not have been a more perfect way to conclude our trip. We arrived expecting a nice brunch cruise and left feeling genuinely grateful to everyone involved for creating such a special experience. Thank you to the crew, the chefs and the entire team for delivering excellence in every possible way. This is New York at its absolute best.

Our host organized a Manhattan architecture cruise tour for us on a gorgeous summer day. We all boarded the boat and peered out the large windows surrounding almost every section of the vessel. Our tour guide explained that while we would need to be seated for the beginning, we were welcome to head out the doors to the front once we were on our way, as the speakers would allow us to hear her narration from the outside. She was extremely knowledgeable and directed our attention with information and history as we moved through the waterways. A beverage is included on the tour, and they have a broad selection from still and sparking water to wines and beers. You can also bring your drinks outside. Most people didn't choose to come outside until later in the tour, so it was a great ride soaking up the sunshine with a breeze from the water. One of the highlights was definitely begin up close with the Statue of Liberty. There was plenty of time there for photos as we turned around before heading back. Getting to sail through the swing bridges was also pretty need. I definitely have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the architecture of the city, and we all had a really enjoyable afternoon!

Dave is such an enjoyable Captain, as he chatted with us and provided smooth sailing the entire time we ventured around the Brooklyn and NYC waterfronts. The weather was perfect, we were able to play some music, and enjoyed wine and snacks as we relaxed on the water. It was such a delightful experience. I'd highly recommend embarking on one of Captain Dave's adventures!

The boat itself is clean and has enough room to move around while you're riding out to where you'll see sea life. The crew has clearly been doing this for a very long time and is incredibly knowledgeable. We had perfect weather and saw many dolphins and even saw some whales! It's a group activity for the whole ship to keep an eye out for some movement but it's so exciting when you do spot a whale tail pop out of the water. The whales were very active and we saw a few different ones before the ship was starting to turn back to head toward Brooklyn. As we were heading home we saw a two whale breeches so the captain turned the ship back around so we could see as much as possible. I was able to ask whatever questions I had about the whales to the crew and they always had answers. You can bring food aboard, and I believe on the lower level there is a little concession stand (I sat up top and stayed up there the whole time). Highly recommend a jacket or sweater as once you're out on open water the breeze kicks in.
