We enjoyed our cruise on an early fall.day. the weather was perfect. The narration was clear, although you don't get a very good view of the historic properties from the boat. Bring binoculars if you want to see anything. The beer was cold, popcorn tasty, staff courteous. I would go again.

Members of Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regt. Vietnam Veterans 1965-70 Reunion Association. Went on a cruise down the Hudson River on board the Rip Van Winkle. All 66 Members were delight with the beauty and Majesty of the Hudson River. We loved the Guided Tours by the Crew. Most of the Member had never been to New York State Before. And will come back again. It was a great trip. Lamont D. Taylor, President Golf Company 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regt. Vietnam Veterans 1965-70 Reunion Association.

My friend and I took the Hudson River Cruises Sunday afternoon 2 hour cruise out of Kingston, NY on the Rip Van Winkle. It was a warm, beautiful, sunny mid-September day.The Catskill mountains in the distance, the two lighthouses we passed, the beautiful Kingston- Rhineclif bridge, the various imposing estates lining the river, and even other boaters out enjoying the day, all made the trip a joy..You see things you just don't get to see driving around. We plan on doing this again several times next year, it was so much fun.
