Exceptional Sail - We had a lovely experience onboard! Tom, the owner, was especially exceptional and made our experience very memorable. I've already recommended the sail to friends and colleagues!

Great views while harnessing the wind - Great way to view the city and the Statue. We had a beautiful clear day and it’s always cooler on the water in the summer. There’s nothing like seeing the boat pulled along by those massive sails and the wind.

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.

Disappointing! - It was very disappointing. We had relatives from Arizona, and little kids (and their parents) who live in Queens, and ourselves, ALL of whom would have been interested to know what we were seeing.! What's on Governor's Island? What's that big building with blue at the top? Etc. AND to learn about sailing, the names of the sails, which one goes up first and why, the wind condition. Etc. AND about the boat itself, its design, what kind of people used it in the early days. Etc. etc. NOTHING from the crew. Really disappointing.

Decent Enough but Manage Expectations - The boat was fine - decently equipped, clean enough, nice bar and restrooms. The staff was fairly dismissive and not terribly friendly. Moreover, we would have really enjoyed some audio explanation of the sights we were seeing. It really was just a party boat with no context/history/explanation of anything.
