Overall, we had a wonderful time. The staff was extremely affable, answered questions, and were highly professional. The wines were unique and quite enjoyable. My only suggestion, would be to obtain higher quality crackers to for the cheese platter, and there also weren't enough crackers. I would suggest some higher quality breads rather than sleeves of crackers.

Glad you enjoyed your time. Thanks for sharing with us. Best, Brooke

What a great time we had! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Richard passed out the wine and was friendly and joked right along with us. He was also very knowledgeable about the wines he was serving. Snacks were perfect. It absolutely helped that we had people on board that were there for a fun time. Only reason I did not give it five stars is because our email said to be there by 3:30 and that we'd leave promptly at 4:00. We didn't begin boarding until almost 4:00. Turns out someone had called that they'd be late. Wonderful to accommodate them but passing the info along would have been helpful to the rest of us. Boarding the boat and waiting would have bee preferable to just standing there. Overall, though, it did nothing to diminish from our experience. Fantastic time!

Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you had a lovely evening, despite waiting a while to board. That's a great thought to try and pass along delays to everyone as a head's up. I'll speak with our crew. You've got to love an experience with great wine, snacks, and fun people! Thanks again for your time. Best, Brooke

Such a great time on this wine-tasting sail around Manhattan! Great variety of wines paired with delicious snacks. Knowledgeable crew and beautiful views made it a perfect experience!

Thank you for the review. Sounds like a lovely evening! I'm glad to hear you got to experience it. Best, Brooke

Was a great time! Beautiful boat, delish cheeses and meats that are self-serve, excellent crew and explanations of the wine. All the wines tasted great. Looks like they try to max out the boat with passengers but we all fit really well. Don’t bring too much on board. Sit back, relax and enjoy the views and hopefully meet some new friends while on board.

Thanks for the review. What a wonderful, relaxing evening you had! If wine and cheese are around, how can one not be happy?! Best, Brooke

It was great--very relaxing and comfortable. We had a great time!!

Great experience!

— Chantel F | Aug 07, 2018

This was a birthday present from my family. The weather was perfect and it was a good way to relax for two hours. They are generous with the wine and the time, and will stay out sailing for the full two hours before heading back. We stopped at the tip of Manhattan and in front of the Statue of Liberty.

— Teija G | Jul 10, 2018

Beautiful views and lots of wine, for the amount of people on the boat there wasn’t enough cheese and charcuterie. The sommelier was very knowledgeable.

— Teysha P | Jun 27, 2018

The staff and entire event was great! I highly recommend it for any occasion!

— James C | Aug 21, 2018

My boyfriend and I absolutely enjoyed our evening on the Schooner, we loved the variety of cheeses paired with the wines and most importantly the views! Every crew member was super friendly and very informational and helpful. We did the 4pm wine tasting this past Saturday but would love to try the other sails they offer!
