The most important considerations when hiring a boat and captain are the ability of the captain and the seaworthiness of the boat. If it's a sailboat, the captain's skills are even more important. I hired Captain Martin and his sailing vessel, SAGA, for a three hour cruise with my family down the Hudson River and around New York Harbor. Martin is an excellent skipper. His many years of training and experience show in the way he handles the boat and the decisions he makes. I felt comfortable and secure with him at the helm. His ability was most obvious when he was tacking down the Hudson in a strong wind. His boat, SAGA, is very seaworthy, making me feel totally safe. SAGA is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Martin's assistant is pleasant, polite, attentive, and does an excellent job caring for all your needs. Martin and his assistant create a relaxed and casual atmosphere onboard, which we enjoyed. Our cruise with Martin on SAGA was a wonderful experience. It created a happy memory for all of us that we will cherish for many, many years.
We had an absolute dream of a time on lovely Saga! We feel honored to have gotten the chance to ride her! This boat is immaculately cared for, and we felt luxurious the whole ride. Captain Matt and Gino took well care of our safety and needs and provided a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The NY brunch was a delicious addition! So glad I chose this boat and captain, and will def book again in the future!
Amazing boat! Amazing vibes! Booked with Captain Martin for my friend's surprise bridal shower. He was communicative and very accommodating. Our original date got rained out and Martin communicated with me efficiently and effectively to find a new date. We ended sailing with a his colleague Capt Malcolm on the new date. Malcolm was knowledgeable, fun, and overall had great vibes. He had extensive knowledge about the history of New York, architecture, and pointed out interesting landmarks as we sailed around the harbor. The first mate, Jayden was so helpful as well, helping us onto the boat, getting us drinks, making sure we were warm enough. Such a wonderful experience! Have been recommending Capt Martin, Capt Malcolm, and the whole crew to everyone!
Incredible time! Martin and his first mate were amazing hosts - offering us blankets and extra windbreakers in the cold, taking multiple photos for us, and making sure we knew we could play music during the trip. Truly great hosts that I couldn't recommend more!
Captain Martin was amazing from the moment we booked our trip to the moment our wonderful trip ended. He was so accommodating and had everything we needed on the boat. His first mate Caleb was the best as well. We cannot wait to set sail again soon on the Saga!!
Martin is a great captain. We enjoyed the trip with him and his boat SAGA. He explains everything and is always willing to answer any questions you have. The boat was amazing, in really great conditions and we had a really good time with him and his crew. With Martin you will get really amazing views of Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and all the most important venues!!
