Fantastic Experience with Captain Dave - We did the 2-hour private sail experience with Captain Dave. His directions to find the boat were impeccable, and I don't know how anyone could get lost. Not far from the 911 Memorial, the marina was very easy to find and had great views of the Jersey shoreline. Captain Dave is a native to the area, so he knows virtually everything about this area. He pointed out landmarks and took us right up to the Statue of Liberty while telling us about Ellis Island and the other buildings in that area. The views from the boat were astounding, especially of the Manhattan skyline. Dave was really friendly and we had a great time laughing and taking photos with him. My sister and I had the BEST time on his sailboat, Tara, and we will definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend!

Fun time on the evening cruise! - We have sailed with Tribeca Sailing and Captain David on more than one occasion. But this was our first time sailing with Captain Clark. Great time showing us some new sights! Thank you, Clark!
The Tara is beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect size boat for a day on the water. It’s such a great way to see NYC from another perspective. The city truly does sparkle at night! We will most definitely sail with them again !

Incredible experience - Wonderful boat but the driver deserves a note of merit for his kindness, hospitality and sympathy. A unique experience, you dive into the waters of the Hudson river and are transported between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Wow

It Was a Great Hudson River Birthday Adventure! - What a glorious birthday I had sailing on the Hudson with family and Captain Dave of Tribeca Sailing! The NY and NJ harbor and skyline views were magnificent, and the sail for 6 family members aged from 9 to 78 was safe, relaxed, informative and uplifting, thanks in great part to our accomplished Captain Dave. Accessing the boat was easy. If you have an hour and a sense of adventure, definitely treat yourself and friends or family with this experience!
