A beautiful experience and authentic boat just the right size. Crew where terrific and views amazing.

Awesome!

Patricia_W, Aug 2023

I surprised my husband with the sunset Manhattan cruise for a milestone birthday of his. The eve was absolutely perfect. The boat is immaculate. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable, & accommodating. We were fortunate to catch a magnificent sunset behind the Statue of Liberty and saw several other landmarks. We got great photos of the experience. My family highly recommends this excursion. Don’t miss it. Thank you!

Loved it!!

Diane_B, Aug 2023

Really enjoyed the fact that it was just a few people. No crowds! Very enjoyable and relaxing. It had been raining all afternoon but by 7:00 pm the rain was letting up and we got some great views

Great night out

WOJCIECHDAN_J, July 2023

The yacht , the crew and atmosphere were great. Felt almost as a privet cruise. Crew was very accommodating , views were stunning. Great choice of music , we had a blast. Definitely recommend for trip with friends. Great location, Marina has lots of restaurants and places to hang out.

Fraudulent Company

Gregory_H, July 2023

Your company is a fraud. You sent me a QR code with the location and time. I showed and there was no such cruise. In fact, the attendant at the doc, said that even he has told you to stop using their location. I asked for a refund and you refused. I will be sending this to my bank as fraud and reporting you to the Better Business Bureau.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello Gregory, We are very sorry that you had issues with your booking and were not able to join the original cruise. It turns out that a third party booking affiliate of ours reset the meeting location of this tour to our alternate location without our knowledge. Once we discovered this glitch, a message was sent to all impacted customers to let them know where to go well in advance of the trip. We have confirmed that you have been fully refunded for this tour due to the location mistake, and it appears that you were able to attend at a later date. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope that you were able to get a satisfactory result in the end. If you have any remaining issues to discuss, please contact caleb@classicharborline.com. Warmly, Classic Harbor Line

Perfect evening

Terrie_B, June 2023

Wonderful Crew with Mark and Conor making it a great experience. Relaxing personal experience with a small group of people was amazing. Great views of the city and relaxing music.

Well worth it! Fun boat!

Rick_S, June 2023

Great evening on the water. Crew was great. Directions in the add (specific address) was troublesome. But everything was great.

Wonderful views of NYC!...

Megan_P, June 2023

Wonderful views of NYC! Marc and Han were excellent captains. They made sure we were taken care of, and had a great music playlist!

The overall experience...

james_w, June 2023

The overall experience was great. From the crew to the cruise itself. It felt very personal and like i was on a boat with friends.

Fun way to view the city!

Glen_C, Dec 2022

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise. We lived on a vintage 62-foot yacht for almost 8 years so touring Lower Manhattan from a similar boat was a really fun reminder of those years. Great views of Statue of Liberty and the skyline.

Perfect boat tour with beautiful skyline

Therese_W, Sept 2022

The trip was amazing as was the captain and staff ! Definitely will do this again on my next visit. It was perfect size boat and not to many people which was perfect. Thanks again for a wonderful experience !!

Perfect sunset cruise

Ellyse_D, Sept 2022

We did this to celebrate our anniversary. This was such an amazing sunset cruise. The boat was not over crowded and had very comfortable seating. Beer, wine and champagne were available. I just wish it was 2 hours instead of 90 minutes.

Wonderful experience

Mary_M, Sept 2022

Loved it. 5 girl friends celebrating a 50th birthday party. Our crew was fabulous, efficient and fun. Just long enough so we got to see the sun set and the full moon rise.

Smooth and no hang ups.

Brian_R, Aug 2022

Captain and his mate were very accommodating to all passengers The weather and sight seeing couldn't have been much better!

Relaxing cruise at sunset

Paula_G, Aug 2022

Lovely relaxing cruise, limited people on board which made it most enjoyable to see the sights. Connor and Kate were lovely hosts. Drinks were good. A hour and half was enough time on the water.

Recommended to my friends already!

Irene_J, July 2022

Great tour! Beautiful experience. Coupled and families, not a party vibe. The capitán and crew were friendly and fostered a great atmosphere.

An Excellent Idea!

Daniel_G, Sept 2020

The crew was kind and attentive. I would definitely do this again! We departed and arrived on time. The marina and boat were easy to find. We had a blast!

Expérience incroyable

Marion_T, Aug 2023

Après un mois passé à New York, nous avons pu découvrir la ville d’une autre façon et c’était incroyable ! Nous n’étions que 8, ce qui nous a permis de profiter à 100% de l’expérience, et l’équipage a été formidable. Je recommande vraiment !!!
