Incredible wedding weekend experience - My husband and I have gone on Clipper City many times, always having a great, incredible experience. For that reason, we needed to incorporate our favorite NYC adventure as locals into our wedding weekend. This experience is the best way to see Manhattan, and the team goes above and beyond. Our friends & family LOVED the experience. When renting the boat, you have an amazing selection of food options. Tom is so flexible with different options that will make your trip unique to you. I thank the entire team for such an incredible day and look forward to our next trip.

This was so much fun! - The crew was fantastic, very personable and friendly. They answered questions for us curious people. They were very professional. They ask for volunteers to hoist the sails. It is more work than you think it is, but so much fun!

Enjoyable sailing trip...good enough for one time experience - PROS: The entire staff aboard were professional and friendly, and everyone knew their role on the ship and that made me feel safe. Everything from boarding to disembarking was very organized and well-run. It ended up being a gorgeous, sunny day and that made the sailing even more enjoyable for an early Mother's Day celebration. There are bathrooms to use if needed so not to worry. CONS: I fully expected a 90 minute sail that starts at 5:15PM but that was when they started checking in - we didn't start sailing until 5:30. Dunno if that was just a one off thing. There aren't enough proper seats for everyone so just be prepared to sit anywhere that you're allowed to (wasn't an issue for me but it might be for someone else). The biggest thing I didn't like was the non-refundable/ no rescheduling policy - I didn't need one but it's a reason I didn't book until the night before in case it rained, which had been in the forecast the entire week. Who likes to be cold and wet?

Nice walk to admire the structure of the city and the Brooklyn Bridge - The little ride went well, the sun was present, we enjoyed a glass of wine during the sail accompanied by a little mood music. On the other hand, we had to wait longer before boarding, and when you are not very young, waiting up is annoying especially since you arrived on time. Not enough benches on the boat. We sat on safes in the back. Nice crew.
