Really funMy friends and I took a sail on the Shearwater because we were in the mood to try something different. (Weve all been to Manhattan before.) We ended up having a really good time. We opted for the open bar package and we were not disappointed. The views were terrific, but this is Manhattan were talking about, so youd expect nothing less. Also, the staff was great and the boat itself was really cool, so all in all, it made for a fun experience for all of us.

It was the most surreal experience to be hot, sweaty and miserable in the middle of New York City one minute and then experience the serene pleasure of cool breezes and salt air of the sea only 5 minutes from my office on lower Broadway. Its hard to believe something like this exists here in NYC.The crew was friendly (real sailors), the waitress was so friendly, it was like stepping into a different world... they raised the sails & turned off the engine. It was so cool, it was like taking a week long vacation in 2 hours. I had no idea how beautiful the water surrounding Manhattan is... I went with my work buddies, but I am definitely going to come back with a date. The beer was icy cold.... What a great way to relax.. The $45 plus the open bar package for $15 was a great value.
