My wife and I had a blast on our celebratory private sail around Manhattan and to the Brooklyn Bridge with Captain Eric. From the get-go, Eric's cool demeanor and expert skills made us feel right at home. And get this, turns out we're neighbors in JC, which added an awesome personal touch. Sailing past the Brooklyn Bridge was epic. If you're up for an awesome sailing adventure in NYC, Captain Eric is your guy. Can't recommend him enough for his expertise, and all-around cool vibe.

Eric is the best!! I booked this trip last minute for my sister’s birthday and he was SUPER helpful and accommodating throughout the process. Every time someone from our group went back to the helm, Eric always asked if we needed anything. We felt very very safe sailing with him as he is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about boating and the waters we were in. If you love the water and are looking for a awesome way to experience NYC, book with him! Can’t wait to sail with Eric again!

We went out for a 9-11PM evening (night?) on a busy Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Eric is highly skilled, thoughtful, professional, and knowledgeable. He is well-attuned to adapting the cruise to what best fits conditions and his guests, making the experience a great pleasure.
I especially appreciated that Eric prefers raising sail, even on a night cruise.
The "Genesis" has a large foredeck, where guests can hang out.

Thank you Eric! - AlexisAlexis
AMAZING EXPERIENCE! 11/10 would recommend. Eric was a great host/captain. Very knowledgeable about NY and its landmarks along the Hudson. We had a great time. I did get a little sick so I recommend taking your Dramamine lol, but he was a gracious captain. We would 100% book with him again.
He also takes great photos, we got some really good shots with the Statue of Liberty behind us. Thank you Eric! - WarrenWarren

Eric is so nice and knowledgeable about his boat and the city. This was such an amazing experience. We live in the city but it was amazing to see the city from a different POV. We will definitely do this again.

Eric was an excellent captain and gave us a truly lovely afternoon. His passion for sailing and the history of New York made for great conversation combined with incredible views. He made us feel safe and we enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely be reaching out to him again for future celebrations on the Hudson.

Our charter aboard Eric’s sailboat was the experience of a lifetime. He was very attentive and provided regular weather updates as it was raining up until our sail. Luckily the rain held off and we were in our way. Eric was the perfect host - shared great info on the sights around NYC, took great pics, attentive to our needs, immaculate boat, ensured we were safely on and off. I would highly recommend!
