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!

I've gone kayaking in the Hudson as well, and there are pros and cons to both. First you've got the location and backdrop for those cute pictures (if you want cute pics, just go to both). This place has dirty floors as you approach the water (on 72nd st, the floor is clean and the water is a mini jump below you). I almost fell while getting out of the kayak-the ground is slippery and filled with rocks. Other than that, both places have small boundaries, and a 20 min ride to go (honors system).
