Great Day on the Water - We had a 2 hour sail in lower NYC harbor. Picked us up in Jersey City / Liberty Marina.
Capt Axel and Romeo did a great job: Smooth sail... read more and told us about the sites-they were the perfect hosts.

Magical experience - We had a small wedding ceremony on the Trident with Captain Paul and his wonderful crew.
To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. From the initial booking through... read more answering any questions to the trip itself, everything was seamless. I couldn't recommend this higher. We had the ceremony on the upper deck with Lady Liberty over our shoulder and Captain Paul maneuvered The Trident just so for us to get the perfect shot. Thank you again fro a magical day.
Cheers

Captain Axel and his shipmate (photographer & hostess) helped make the night perfect for everyone. Thank you so much!Posted on Kathleen O'DonnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked one of their boats to propose to my girlfriend. They hit it out of the park. They were responsive, helpful, and overall kind. I was so nervous about proposing and they put my mind at ease. Adam and Axel were extremely helpful about answering my questions. Food was great, boats were clean, and the photographer was a nice touch. 10/10 would recommendPosted on Chase DoyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was on the Julia yacht with Captain Duckie and Marcellus(cook) to celebrate my love’s birthday. They made my first time sailing out on a yacht experience very memorable. Captain Duckie shared with us that he has 40 years experience of being a captain. Which made me feel safe. Sailing in the water to celebrate my love’s birthday was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever encountered!!! I will recommend this to everyone I know! Thank you Captain Duckie and Marcellus!!!Posted on Jessica Johnson
