    The plan was to charter a yacht for a cruise around NYC where I was going to pop the question and then get dropped off in Brooklyn, where all of our family and friends would be waiting for us. It was July 11, 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic and I could not find anyone who would accommodate any arrangements for my engagement idea. I reached out to Captain Dan and he came to the rescue. Captain saved the day and it was the perfect proposal! Not only did he accommodate all of my requests, he also arranged for everything to be taken care of so I didnโ€™t have to worry about anything (I was already nervous about the proposal, keeping it a secret and making sure everything was perfect). We got on the gorgeous and clean yacht and sailed off into the sunset. We stopped for some photos around the Statue of Liberty with the NYC skyline in the background and thatโ€™s when I popped the question. After she said yes, we popped some bubbly and off we went. We arrived at our destination and were greeted by family and friends. Captain Dan made it happen and everything was perfect. I highly recommend SailNYC and Captain Dan for anyone looking to rent a boat in NYC for any occasion! I canโ€™t wait to see the video of the proposal so we can show it to all of our guests at the wedding.

    Great time! Relaxing and enjoyable. Well worth it for a special occasion or day getaway. Captains Dan and Ed are very detail oriented, responsive and welcoming. Bring easy finger foods and drinks as it gets windy and there is limited service space above deck. Wear flats with light colored soles to avoid scuffing the deck.

    Unbelievable service and an amazing experience! I am so happy that I found you guys. We booked it to celebrate my husbandโ€™s birthday. They were super responsive and easy to deal with. The day that I booked turned out to be really bad weather and they made it super stress free to reschedule at my request. I will definitely be booking again! An unforgettable experience and amazing customer service! Captain Krista was very attentive and just awesome- Thank you!

    Captain Dan is one of a kind. I sailed with him in NY Harbor and Saint All the crew loves him, and he teaches us while sailing on one of his boats. I recommend him highly, he is fun but yet discrete. We definitely book our next sailing trip with him again and recommended him to all my collages and friends. Dr. Nick Van Ee

    Had an AMAZING night sailing with Captain Paul and his Wife Melissa. They were punctual, friendly and so hospitable. The Odette was immaculate, Melissa made sure we had a great time. The Music was great, they made sure we were entertained and took us to all the sights we wanted to see. They positioned the boat so that we had spectacular views and great photo opportunities. They took us to the Statue of Liberty, up the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge and made sure to point out view points for us to see. Overall we had 5 star service hands down. Grateful to Captain Paul and Melissa for ensuring our evening was special. Can't thank them enough for all the great memories.

    I am one of the captains at SAIL NYC and love sailing, our customers get a fantastic experience on our modern, clean, and comfortable boats.. The sightseeing tour is spectacular and the photos are amazing. Most rent a boat to celebrate a special occasion and many marriage proposals. Boating is amazing in NYC and renting a boat for a private tour is unique and unforgettable!

    Dan was mad chill, and since I was using his boat to shoot a music video he made sure to cut the engine and let us float in some good spots to get the best backgrounds. Very communicative and flexible as well about rescheduling because I had originally booked the tour for 2 weeks prior.

    I was unable to actually go out on the boat because my reservation was extremely poorly handled. It was some of the worst customer service I have ever received. Part of the issue was that they had 2 boats go out of commission in a very short timeframe, which makes me concerned these boats are not well maintained. The only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they did refund my deposit in a timely manner. Eventually, I was offered an apology for how it was handled, but nothing else to repair the experience.

    Very enjoyable boat rides, you will see the beautiful nyc landscape and feel the breeze of the ocean. The guy who drove the boat was nice and the prices are not to step. I highly recommend.

    We chartered the Imagine That! for an afternoon cruise for my wifeโ€™s 50th birthday at the end of August because we wanted to do something completely fun and different yet safe in the time of Covid - and it was honestly perfect. My wife is the type-A person in the relationship, but since it was her birthday, this was something I was organizing. They helped make sure that everything was covered and in the places where I needed to ask questions or make requests, they (Scott and Dan) were so responsive! This made my job so much easier. The day of the cruise both Scott (the owner) and Dan (the captain) met us and showed us around, went over safety features and made sure that we were all set to go. Captain Dan was great โ€“ he offered several options on where to cruise, and obliged when we said to just take the most scenic route he could in the 5 hours we had planned. He was gracious and accommodating to a โ€˜Tโ€™. The two young ladies who were on board to serve food and drinks were fun, helpful and made sure our glasses were never empty. The boat itself was magnificent โ€“ spacious, clean, and gorgeous both inside and out. Since it was a beautiful day we spent all of our time on deck, but it was great having two bathrooms as well as a full kitchen at our disposal. The boat was a perfect size for our party of ten โ€“ any more and it would have been crowded, but we were fine. We had full reign of the boat and we all really felt like it was ours for the day. The five hours we booked went by much too quickly โ€“ so much so that we even when we added an extra hour at the end. My wife and all of our guests said it was one of the best birthday celebrations ever, and we all will be chartering the boat again next summer.

    Phenomenal night with Captain Dirk. I highly recommend Captain Dirk and his services. It was an unforgettable experience and my daughters said โ€œit was the best night of their lives.โ€ Captain Dirk was unbelievable with my daughters. He let them drive the boat and was teaching them along the way. They had smiles from ear to ear the whole night. The boat is gorgeous. So well kept and spotless. It was a smooth ride and even though we were born and raised in NY, seeing the attractions from the boat was amazing. We were in awe that we were literally right in front of the Statute of Liberty and were able to take photos that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Captain Dirk and his services and we will definitely be back for more services real soon.

    Thank you sooo much to both Captain Dan and Captain Ed! I reserved the Water Music sail boat for a surprise birthday event and I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Everything from reserving the boat, to paying, to finding and boarding the boat was so easy. Captain Ed was so welcoming and attentive to all our needs while aboard. The boat was absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. Captain Ed even turned the boat so we could get pictures with the Statue of Liberty and the NYC skyline. SO GREAT! I could not recommend these guys more and we definitely plan to sail with them very soon.

    Captain Dan and Alessandro were welcoming and very warm throughout the whole sail and it was the best day to spend a day with friends on the water. The sailboat itself was beautiful and clean, we had a chance to try โ€œdrivingโ€ the boat. A great way to see the city in a different way, great for a special occasion with friends and family.

    Perfect Night and amazing service on the Manhattan II. Strongly recommend the Sunset cruise experience for locals & tourists alike. It is a beautiful way to experience Manhattan. Special mention to Shannon for being very accommodating, organizing a seat upgrade and providing us with excellent service.
