It was really great. The jazz band was excellent, the ambiance was brilliant, and the sights were impressive.

— Carlos C | Sep 16, 2016

We had the perfect weather conditions when we experienced sailing on the tall ship cruise on the Hudson River in the evening hours. The ship was not crowded, so everyone had space to walk around and sit down. Looking at the NYC and NJ skylines at night, along with listening to great jazz music, just made the evening more special for us. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves.

— Pamela D | Aug 03, 2015

I received my Tall Ship Jazz Sail as a Christmas gift . It was an amazing time! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the smooth jazz band on a romantic trip on the harbor in NYC. The view of the city at night was spectacular. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for something different to do in the city other than the standard dinner and a show.
