Amazing Sailing Trip in NYC !!! The Most beautiful Sailboat in NYC
Captain Paul and his wife, Melissa, were absolutely wonderful. I spent my birthday on their gorgeous sailboat with a group of friends, and we had the best day! The boat itself was stunning and Paul and Melissa went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

Charter 31ft Crownline Bowrider In Wildwood, NJ / Cape May, NJ
Our trip with Commodore Steve was terrific! He was so nice and even taught us some local history (but not too much). He was very concerned for our safety and comfort and was very accommodating when one of our party became concerned due to the waves. He quickly changed course and made it a great trip for everyone. The bathroom was a huge bonus. We cant wait to take another trip! Highly recommend

Beautiful boat and the overall experience was outstanding. First time sailing as a family with a 3 year old and captain Gino went above and beyond to help us celebrate my wife’s birthday and make us all comfortable. I am lost of words on the experience and the captain and his partners hospitality. Will surely book them again!
