I booked a sunset sail with Captain Eric for a group of girlfriends, and we had the best time! Eric's boat is an immaculate, beautiful classic sailboat, and sailing along the Hudson at sunset was absolutely magical! Captain Eric was super attentive to everyone's needs, and made sure that the group was comfortable and made recommendations on how where to sit on the boat to make the most of it.
The girls loved it, and we will definitely book with Captain Eric again soon!
The owner, Chuck, called me ahead of time to arrange meeting location. Was courteous and friendly. The day of our sailing cruise weather was VERY windy, water choppy. I suggested a 'rain check' since it was impossible to put the sails up in the ocean nor on the intercoastal. But to my disappointment Chuck did not want to and said we'll have a nice time on the intercoastal. It was a pleasant 2.5 hour ride however, NOT what I had wanted. I wanted to SAIL not go on a motor boat.
My siblings and I surprised our mom with a sunset cruise of Manhattan's skyline as an early Mother's Day celebration. As jaded New Yorkers who love to be on the water, our ride on Captain Eric's gorgeous sailboat managed to exceed our expectations. He could not have been any warmer or passionate about sailing. He had fun facts to share about New York City and the environment. We lucked out with perfect weather and a view of a blood orange full moon. Capt. Eric also provides snacks/drinks and makes you feel at home on his actual floating home. I can't wait to go out on a longer day cruise with friends :) Definitely recommend!
Lindsay and her family were a blast to sail with! Thanks for sailing with me, Lindsay!
Our full-day trip on the Catamaran was the highlight of the vacation. 6 of us went (though you could fit double), and everything went smooth. The captain was not only nice and accommodating, but extremely knowledgable and helped us with our full itinerary. Sailo also did a great job of helping to coordinate extra activities (jet packs!) and lunch!
Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a special experience.
