Fantastic voyage - We left the dock at sunset and had a beautiful ride thru the Hudson and East Rivers. The Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn bridge, Manhattan and Jersey City were magnificent to view from the water. Thanks Captain Andrew for a great night!

Already booking my next trip! - We did a private sail this past weekend with friends and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. By the end of it, we were already planning our next sail! Such a fun weekend outing to do with friends/family etc. Ian was our captain and such a pleasure to be with. Not to mention knowledgable and a great communicator before hand. The views were SURREAL especially nearing golden hour. Can't wait to do it again!

Best boating experience - This is one of the best ways you can spend a day in NYC! I cannot recommend this experience enough. You get to see the city in such a unique way and get so close to the Statue of Liberty! The boat is equipped with everything you need and our captain Andrew was great. 10/10 would recommend and cannot wait to go again!

A Perfect Sail - A perfect Adventure Day for me and my husband. Our captain, Andrew, was a delight. Kind, knowledgable, competent, and interesting. It felt like being out at "sea" with a good friend. Plus, we enjoyed beautiful weather, a fresh perspective on Manhattan, and a felt sense of connection with nature in the midst of urban chaos. Highly recommended!

Great Sailing Lesson - A casual and relaxed way to lear the basics of sailing in stunning NY Harbor. Our captain, Ian told us this was all we need to know to sail around the world. Well, at least to Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty. Highly recommended.

The most unique NYC Experience! - We had the most phenomenal time with BK Sail and highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an incredibly unique and fun experience. I surprised my boyfriend for his birthday and even for 2 people who have lived in the city for more than 7 years, this was still one of the best NYC experiences we've ever had. Captain Ian was so fantastic- helpful, informative, and so prepared (he has a kitchen, seating area and restroom downstairs, drinks you can purchase, and was fun to spend the afternoon with). We got to see stunning views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Governor's Island, Ellis Island and Liberty Island! We will absolutely be coming back with family and friends because it really is such a fun, creative and memorable experience. Thank you so much Ian!

Great way to spend an afternoon - Awesome way to experience Manhattan and see it from a different perspective. Our Captain Andrew made us feel welcome and helped our water nervous guest feel comfortable and unconcerned about the movement. We left from the Brooklyn Pier which gave us an opportunity to see another part of NY.
