A perfect escape along the Hudson with beautiful views of [early] Fall Foliage aboard the Full Moon! - We had a lovely Sunday morning cruise along the Hudson River to catch the early part of the Fall Foliage in the Palisades aboard the Full Moon!

Great to go wether you are a local or a tourist! - My husband and I have been living in NYC for 10 years now. I have always loved wooden boats and when I saw the gorgeous Full Moon leaving Chelsea Piers one day, I decided to see what cruise I could go on.
It is a nice, small, and intimate boat. Sean made sure we stayed hydrated and had complimentary snacks. Captain Albert was lovely and gave lots of information about Manhattan as we were boating up the Hudson to view the Palisades. I even learned new things that I didn't know before even after living here for 10 years.
The vibe of the boat was exquisite. Very relaxed and mostly small groups of families and friends taking a nice excursion. My Oura ring thought I took a nap I was so relaxed and restored sitting on the bow of the boat, taking in the views.
My husband does get seasick, and the only time it was rough for him was right after we boarded/before we departed. Once the boat got going and we were permitted to go on the bow, he was fine and had an enjoyable time. He is even interested in taking other tours with this company! As am I :)
Thank you for the lovely cruise!

A native New Yorker's favorite boat line - Skip the mega-boats and enjoy the glorious foliage on the Palisades on the classy little Full Moon. Captain Conor will lend you his binocs if he spots a bald eagle, and Sean will keep you hydrated with hot tea or a glass of bubbly.
I was born in Manhattan and have lived here all my life. The other boat companies are OK .... but Classic Harbor Line is so much better than OK. I take a trip on one of their beautiful yachts at least once a year, and this is my favorite way to show NYC to out-of-town friends. It never gets old.

Always too far from the... - Always too far from the trees and foliage - a boat ride isn't the optimal way to view this. But great staff!
