This was, by far, the highlight of our trip. The crew was very helpful, and not bashful at all, when pouring our complementary drinks ;) the weather was beautiful, and provided a stunning sunset as a backdrop for the cityscape, and Statue of Liberty .

My son and I were punctually 30 minutes before departure time at the agreed meeting point. Unfortunately, we were not noticed at all, although we were standing directly at the jetty and several people were on / in the ship. This was not very customer-oriented and service-oriented. Only shortly before departure our harbour security guard informed the owner (thank you!) and we were invited into the boat.
From that point on, however, it was a great experience! We travelled in a beautiful boat and also for a sufficiently long time first to under the Brooklyn Bridge, then back and up to directly in front of the Statue of Liberty. We stood there until everyone had enough opportunity to photograph it. Then we drove back to about the height of Colgate Clock New Jersey. There, too, we slowed down to take enough photos of the now illuminated skyline before finally heading back to the site. The timing was perfect, as we drove back from the Statue of Liberty we experienced the perfect sunset, at the same time the first lights came on in Manhattan. Thank you for this unique experience!
Except for the beginning, it was an unforgettable beautiful experience, gladly again!

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!

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

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.

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
