Incredible Private Sailboat Tour of NYC via The Hudson River! - Having read that 2024 is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Dutch to New York, I was intrigued to learn more about the place where I lived and even raised my kids. This sailboat ride and historical tour turned out to be the perfect solution – part History Channel and part Comedy Central, Dave, the captain and sightseeing guide was like the “Mike Rowe” of tour guides – informative, lighthearted, entertaining, and funny. I learned great historical information, and now will win if I can find a Bar Trivia Night, with a New York history theme. The private sailboat ride was luxurious and far better than some group trip, with a snack bar (we brought along our own cheeses, sandwiches, veggies and “adult beverages” that were restaurant quality presented and then served to us). Dave did exactly what we asked – focused on the Dutch influence and left us some “alone” time to socialize amongst ourselves and take pics. I’m going to return when next time friends/family come to town and I need to show them New York.

New York City seen from its harbor - best guided tour so far! - A couple of friends and I wanted to experience the view and learn the history of New York City from New York harbor. Our Guide, Dave, offered us a unique private tour on their upscale Beneteau sailboat, which allowed us to sail close to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Governors Island for most outstanding views! Dave is an experienced sailor, who was delighted to share his extensive knowledge of the history around the Harbor with a humorous tone, which made learning the history much more fun. We really enjoyed this instructive and insightful trip (full of small details), on a fun and restful private sail. Living in NY, I would definitely recommend to both locals (even those who think they "have seen it" and "know it already") and tourists to charter Captain Dave’s boat for a unique tour of the Harbor. This tour made our day a memorable one - Triple thumbs up!

Sailing the Hudson: Discover the untold history of the New York Harbor - I can’t stop sharing photos of my sail along the Hudson River and around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with my friends. I’m a bit of a history nerd, and the captain of the boat, Dave, exceeded my expectations, and I walked away with a wealth of new knowledge about the New York Harbor's maritime history. I live full-time in New York and would recommend this to a local and tourists alike.

New York Harbor at it's best - My husband and I love being on the water and love history, so this New York Harbor sail was the perfect way to spend a summer morning. We live in New Jersey but we rarely take the time to go sightseeing in NYC. We loved every minute of this informative and unique tour, with Captain Dave telling stories and giving the history of famous sights as we sailed. The boat was beautiful and the crew was amazing. Highly recommend!
