LOVE LOVE LOVE Classic Harbor Line! I'm a New Yorker and once in a while I like to hop on one of their perfectly kept vessels just to leave the city for a couple of hours. It's always a calming and soul refreshing experience. The fact that you can have a glass of vino and snacks makes it all the more delightful. I'll be back very soon :)

Had a wonderful time on this tour last weekend with Conor and Sean. They were the perfect hosts. The boat is extremely comfortable; we had wonderful weather and spent most of the time on the front deck, but even if we hadn't been so lucky it still would have been worthwhile.

We went on the Fall Foliage tour on an absolutely beautiful day. We spent time on the deck as well as at the table (which since there are four of us and shared a table in the corner with another couple felt a little cramped). The guide, Gabriel Willow, is excellent. He was very knowledgeable as well as friendly and approachable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!
