We chose to do a boat with other people and luckily we were the first group there so we got to choose where we wanted to sit and sync our phone/playlist to the boat Bluetooth. BYOB- and they have coolers to keep your drinks cold, though it's just frozen packs in the cooler. The cycling is optional, the boat will still run, just a fun thing to do. We did go past Little Island, but unfortunately didn't make it all the way to the Statue of Liberty. A storm looked like it was headed our way, so the water was also very choppy. If you get sea sick, definitely take something ahead of time. It was 90 minutes and flew by. We had a great time!

You are given a timeframe and that will be your ride. Bring your own booze (no hard liquor though). A quick form needs to be filled out before getting on the boat for protocol reasons. Other than that, bring your own food and drinks.

They even have a cozy lounge area at the front of the boat where we could relax and take in the views. The boat also has a comfortable cabin with everything you need to spend the day feeling fresh and comfortable. We felt completely safe and so well taken care of throughout the trip. You can really tell how much they love sailing and sharing the experience with their guests. We'll always remember this as a true sailing adventure. If you're looking for a unique way to experience New York, I couldn't recommend it more highly.

This was one of the most shocking customer experiences I've ever had…read more My reservation was accepted months in advance. I received confirmation emails, booking numbers, check-in instructions, and multiple emails thanking me for my purchase. Like any reasonable customer, I believed I had a legitimate reservation. At no point during the booking process, in the confirmation emails, or on my reservation was I ever told that I was on a waiting list. In fact, everything I received indicated that my reservation was confirmed. Then, just FOUR DAYS before the event, I received an email informing me that there was no space unless I agreed to pay $1,200 PER PERSON. When I called customer service to understand what had happened, I was told that I had actually been on a waiting list all along. That was the first time I had ever heard those words. If customers are on a waiting list, they deserve to be told before they spend months planning flights, hotels, and an entire vacation--not after everything has already been booked. Think about that for a moment. A company advertises an event, accepts reservations, sends confirmation emails, provides booking numbers and check-in instructions, thanks customers for booking, and allows them to spend months planning their trip around what appears to be a confirmed reservation. Then, only days before the event, it announces that the reservation can only be honored if customers pay $1,200 per person. To me, this shifts 100% of the risk onto the customer while leaving the company with virtually none. The refund of my small deposit did not refund my flights, my hotel expenses, my vacation planning, my lost opportunities, or the trust I placed in this company. The strongest legal disclaimer in the world cannot manufacture trust once it has been broken. Fine print may protect a contract, but it can never repair a reputation. Businesses are remembered not for the loopholes they write, but for the promises they keep. A confirmed reservation should mean something. Customers should not spend months planning a trip only to face what feels like an ultimatum days before the event: pay an extraordinary amount of money or lose the experience they planned their vacation around. Whether this practice is ultimately permissible under the company's terms is for consumer protection authorities and the courts to decide. From a customer's perspective, however, it felt profoundly unfair and completely inconsistent with the trust people place in a confirmed booking. I will never trust this company again, and I strongly encourage anyone considering booking with them to think carefully before making travel plans around one of their "confirmed" reservations. Trust is earned over years and can be destroyed in a single email. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here.

I would give zero stars if I could…read more I booked this boat tour based on the advertised departure time, and after I paid, they changed the departure time to two hours earlier. That is a major change, not a minor schedule adjustment. Because of the new time, I could no longer make the tour. Instead of taking responsibility and refunding me for a service they were no longer providing as purchased, they refused to give me my money back. I did not simply change my mind -- they changed the terms of the booking after the sale. Extremely disappointing customer service and a very unfair way to treat customers. I would not book with this company again, and I would strongly caution others before buying tickets unless you are comfortable with them changing the time and still keeping your money.

It definitely felt "intimate". There were only a few seats strewn around the top deck which was tough for some folks w mobility issues. Just something to consider. You may be standing for 3 hours. Very small bar area downstairs - confusingly two bars set up but unclear if two separate lines (one for booze, one for food and booze? Unclear...)? Sound not the best but you're on a boat so c'mon... Bathrooms surprisingly clean and non-boat like. The ride itself is fun too! We got to see some pretty sights on a gorgeous summer night. I'd go again if another band I liked was playing (but hopefully on one of their bigger boats. Lol).

On our cruise we were aboard for the "The Sons and The Heirs" - A popular Smiths/Morrissey cover band. We liked it so much we did it twice (2014 and 2015). The Jewel itself is not a luxury yacht - the decor is fairly plain, but relatively clean vessel painted all white with a large area below deck with windows, bar and the band usually plays towards the front of the ship. The upper deck has a small light up dance floor (ala Saturday night Fever, but not quite) and this year has fake grass carpet along the front and side. There are plenty of chairs along the side and some outdoor furniture to sit upon in the front. There is another bar located on this level. Watch the bartenders and what they charge you for drinks - early in the evening for we were charged $9 a piece for Grey Goose and Club, a half hour later he tried to charge $12 - a bit shady, but it's not like you can just leave! haha Drinks are decent, but you may be better off sticking with beer. Although it may be a bit difficult to see the band you will be able to hear the music anywhere on the boat so what I often do is just hang on the upper deck taking in those, beautiful, impressive views. Perhaps dance a little if the mood strikes. Talk with some friendly passengers. Just have a generally great time on a beautiful NYC summer night! These cruises are well worth the price of admission for a unique NYC experience. BTW - Do you also hear "Empire State of Mind" whenever you see anything New York related or walking down her streets? Freaking Alicia Keys/Jay Z! Get out of my head!
