We booked this trip less than 24 hours before trip date . From moment I booked it the captain responded asap . On boarding the crew were welcoming. The boat was being cleaned down for us and then we set off . On route places where pointed out to us and captains son was on hand to take our photos .We enjoyed the trip very much as both hubby and myself love the sea . It was a different way to see New York and surrounding areas . I would highly recommend this trip to all ages .
