Normally there are 75 to 90 people on board, we had a total of 14 and had the boat pretty much to ourselves.

This was a wonderful experience and delightful way to spend the afternoon drinking Spaten Oktoberfest and Kölsch while cruising down the Hudson. Thank you Diane for the inspiration!!!

Seating is available inside and on the top deck. A bar is located inside. The captain narrated the wonderful sites along the way-Bannerman's Island, Cold Spring, Storm King Mountain, Breakneck Mountain and West Point. The fall foliage was breathtaking. -Definitely bring binoculars for great viewing. The entire crew was wonderful. A shout out goes to Belinda. Parking is available in front of the dock. Just check-in with the crew to be sure you're in the "right parking". Please take any valuables with you. Pride of the Hudson is a wonderful experience!

The sail boat had a great kitchen setup with utensils available for us to use, which made everything super convenient. We cruised along the Hudson River and got to witness a breathtaking sunset--it was honestly the best experience I've had. The crew was not only warm and welcoming but also knowledgeable about the local history of the towns along the river and the different boats we passed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and great value for money. Highly recommended

Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.

These scouts overshot their intended stop and asked to stop at the Silver Canoe's landing so they could arrange a ride back up stream.

They do mention that there are "category 1" rapids but it's compared to maybe hitting a speed bump at 20mph. Be sure to stop along the way as the route is beyond beautiful and worthy of docking your kayak or raft for a quick swim. Staff is super helpful and know what they're doing - 10/10 im coming back here in the next few weeks Update: been coming here a few times every summer for the past 4 years and have become a huge fan of the 3 day overnight camping trips that they offer. It's a great way to connect w loved ones you decide to bring along and an even better way to avoid screen time since you won't have much signal throughout the trip

That is insulting and rude no matter what party affiliation. The woman who rented the kayaks to us was not only vague about the licenses and paperwork necessary but completely unclear about the directions to the kayaks. When we called her for clarification, she informed us that we just were very bad at following directions. It took us two hours winding through the hills to finally get on the water when the location was very close. Final note - the locks to the kayaks were rusty and almost impossible to open. However, the location is stunning and we had a wonderful time kayaking. Suggestion to PBT: since there is no cell service for a GPS a clear and descriptive map including mileage to the destination would be helpful. AND, get rid of the insults plastered on the door.
