We had an excellent experience on the Classic Harbor Line AIA Architecture Tour. The boat is…read morebeautiful, very clean, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery throughout the cruise. 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.

The tour guide seemed like a nice guy and definitely knew his stuff, but honestly, he was kind of annoying and was putting me to sleep with the way he talked. The best part was the views of the Statue of Liberty. The boat was almost empty that day, so we had plenty of room on the deck and got some amazing, unobstructed pictures.

It was 25 degrees outside there was no boat in site at 8:30, the security kept saying they coming. It was now 9:05 no boat. We finally left at 9:15 after waiting in the cold for at least an hour. They had no regards to us all standing in the bitter cold. There was no contact saying they gonna be late. It was a horrible experience. It was so cold at least 5 couples left when we did. Totally unprofessional I will never do that again unless it's in the summer.

Arriving at the harbor we were told to wait out in the hot sun for another hour before boarding the boat. Some people just walked off totally disgusted. The experience was a nightmare! Don't waste your money. The staff would not answer questions. I asked to speak with the manager and was told they didn't know who the manger was; just another lie.

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!

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.

But we were very early so I don't expect them to have signs pointing the way so early. It would have made a more seamless check in experience. We were seated timely, the setting was beautiful. The live music was perfect. I loved that they played this type of jazzy relaxing dinner music and a bunch of great cover songs that I never expected. The dining area was air conditioned. Temp was perfect. The food was great. The drinks were good too. Very minor issue I had was they specifically said no sneakers, no sandals on our confirmation. I went through a lot to be sure we had the correct attire, went and bought new shoes, got dressed up etc....then people of course showed up wearing sneakers and sandals. I don't care what other people wear but it'd be nice if everyone followed the instructions. That being said....we were dressed to impress and that we did. It was a magical night. I highly recommend this dinner cruise.
