WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! - Portia and I had a great time sailing with Ian around NYC harbour. Popping the bottle of champagne in front of the Statue of Liberty was a moment we won't forget. Great communication along the way and easily found the location. Ian was very knowledgable and kind, he even let me sail the boat!! It is unique way of seeing the city and highly recommend booking with BKsail. Thanks again guys. Corbin & Portia

MUST DO TOUR!!! - What an AMAZING tour! If you can only take one tour in New York-pick this one!! Especially for days over 80*. You will not regret it one bit! I got some awesome photos you cannot get on foot or even on the ferry. It is so relaxing to be on the boat... Do this one!!! you cannot go wrong-and for the best picks, sit in the front! Just use a writ band for your phone so not to worry about that.

Excellent Views, Relaxing, Fun, and Ian is fantastic!! - My husband and I booked the 2.5 hour sailing trip with Ian back in 2019, and it was so great we wanted to bring our kids back and do it again. The views are amazing the entire time, it’s so relaxing to be out on the boat on a beautiful day, and both times we’ve booked, the small number of people that can fit on the boat allows you to connect with other people if you want, or you can go up on the front of the boat and relax and enjoy the views without talking to anyone. Ian is a great tour guide, knows so much about the local area and the history and all of the buildings, and he was also super patient with my ADHD 9yo boy asking him a million questions. Highly recommend booking this trip with Ian. We will likely make this a regular part of every NYC visit in the future!!

Don’t pass on this one! - Best value in Brooklyn! Ian was an amazing host for this 2+ hour sail with 6 maximum passengers. Honestly you don’t know what you are missing if you pass on this one.

A GREAT EXPERIENCE - On the occasion of a birthday gift, or everyone could enjoy it! An original way to discover NY through the waters and in small groups: we were 7 in total. Good value for money. An easy organization without any difficulty. Even if it was a little cold (April) , there were pleas to keep warm, it was great! and enough to make beautiful photos as well. Ian was able to give us information about the city and tell us anecdotes.I recommend And it was also an opportunity to discover Pier 5 in Brooklyn and its surroundings, again beautiful views
