Sailing on the Hudson River was simply an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, our captain, with his professionalism and warmth, made the entire trip feel safe and special. Gliding along the river while the sun set behind the Statue of Liberty was pure magic—the sky and the water painted in golden and pink tones is something you’ll never forget. The night in the great New York City, with its lights gradually turning on and the skyline shining, made the sail even more breathtaking. It’s the perfect experience to share with your closest friends—toast, laugh, and create unforgettable memories. ✨ Don’t miss out on this, because more than just a sail, it’s a way to see New York from another perspective: elegant, intimate, and absolutely wonderful.

I had the best boat ride ever! I've lived in the USA for over five years now, and as a foreigner who loves New York City and its amazing views, I never thought about seeing it from a boat. It was definitely worth it! I can say it's even better than seeing it from the top of a building. It was a perfect day, and Bruce made us feel like part of the experience, which was so much fun. My friends and I enjoyed ourselves immensely! We brought some appetizers and drinks, and I will definitely do this again! THANK YOU CITY LIGHTS SAILING ⛵ We had an amazing time!
