Sail New York Harbor at sunset aboard Clipper City, with live jazz, skyline views, Lady Liberty, and a romantic 1-hour-45-minute outing.
“It was overall a beautiful trip on a beautiful evening. We met some very nice people, and the crew was very nice and accommodating . I do have two suggestions: 1) Although the space is tight, they need a third bartender behind the bar. All you need is one or two indecisive customers to back up the drink line. 2) The jazz duo was very good but they need a better sound system.”

Review the 90-minute Clipper City jazz sail for sunset views, Statue of Liberty photos, cocktails, value, meeting tips, and drawbacks.
“The view was excellent. Better communication on the included wine… and maybe if someone walked the ship with wine to serve instead of having couples split up to get the wine at the bar. Jazz band only played less than half the time. Staff was friendly, when we saw them. Boat was clean and looked well-kept. Beautiful views. Great date night.”
