What an Amazing Experience! - My husband surprised me for our 25th wedding anniversary with this beautiful 2-hour sunset trip on The Adirondack Schooner. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect day. Smooth sailing, adept crew, and the Captain was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the sights we passed going both south and north from Chelsea Piers to lower Manhattan - Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and various other places. If you want something a bit different than the usual sightseeing trips, please treat yourself to this. You won’t be disappointed!

A nice way to spend the evening in New York - avoid the very busy and crowded Sunset cruises on the much larger end, enclosed boats .It's much better to take America 2.0 schooner sailboat. It's quiet and you can feel the water, not rough, but very peaceful able to feel the air the smell, and just the wind blowing across the schooner. It is much more enjoyable than being among over 50 people with everyone vying for photos. The crew was very congenial and personable.

Heaven! - What a perfect way to begin our visit to New York City. The schooner, the crew, and the view at sunset were heavenly. This was our son-in-law's first visit to New York City.I can't imagine a better way to introduce him to the beauty of the city than this relaxed, uncrowded, beautiful, and quiet sail. Getting so close to the Statue of Liberty was an experience of a lifetime. The crew were so much fun and served our wine with delight, took pictures of our family , and were just all around great. I can't recommend this particular trip enough!
