Two guides from the American Institute of Architecture take turns telling you about the history of NYC's development, using the round-the-island trip as a chance to explain everything from commercial development to residential development to parks to bridges to the impacts (and lessons) of Super Storm Sandy. It was a 2 3/4 hour college level course with the city providing...

Owner description:
Dedicated to helping locals and visitors alike enjoy the unique wonders of New York City, Classic Harbor Line hopes for the privilege of escorting you on a relaxing, inspiring and breathtaking cruise through the waters we proudly call home. Our three classic yachts – the Schooner Adirondack and the Schooner America 2.0 (our sailboats), and the Luxury Yacht Manhattan (our motorized yacht) are reminiscent of the classic boats that cruised the NYC waters a hundred years ago.

Right to the point. The Cruise is a simple, no frills attraction. They take off from the pier, go south on the river to the lower end of Manhattan, then turn around and head back. It offers nice views of the Statue of Liberty, Freedom tower and, of course, lower Manhattan and the Jersey side cityscape. If you haven't done...

Our sunny afternoon sail out of Chelsea Pier 62 on the Schooner Adirondack was mesmerizing. The captain and crew were professional and personable. The views of the City, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Governors Island were spectacular. So nice to see the wind in the sails instead of the smell of diesel.

Thank you for coming out with us! We greatly appreciate your feedback. There is definitely something magical when the sails are up and you are sailing through NY Harbor on a Schooner. We hope to have you out again, and next time, you should try the Schooner America 2.0 as it also gives an unbelievable sailing experience!
Thank you again!...

The AIA Architectural Boat Tour around Manhattan may be the most interesting thing to do in New York when the weather is good.
Our tour was narrated by a native NYC AIA Architect with a thorough knowledge of the city's history, buildings and its famous people / events. The perspective from the water is beautiful, unique and scenic. This boat...

Took my wife and 16 year old son on this Brunch Sail on our first day (Sunday) in NYC on a visit from the UK. I had previously sailed with Classic Harbour Line before a couple of years ago so knew pretty much what to expect. However the weather was wet and windy this time so we ventured out with...

Just did the sunset cruise aboard the America 2.0 with my beloved and an aunt who was visiting from France. What a beautiful experience! Everything was perfect, boat, crew, captain, drinks, sights... A spectacular moment that I would like to share with more visitors. And I will!! Worth every penny!

The captain and the crew were serious about safety, but friendly with the passengers. The ship was comfortable and the tour of the harbor was well planned. Everybody who wanted to make pictures was able to get good shots and those of us who just wanted to look really had a good view of everything. Staff on shore and on...

What a wonderful way to spend two hours, on the Hudson River aboard the America 2.0. Great views of the city, Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. The crew were great - friendly, helpful and very hospitable. We enjoyed every minute and I would highly recommend it.
