My wife and I just disembarked from an awesome Classic Harbor Line cruise aboard the Full Moon yacht to see the fall colors along the Palisades. Sarah proved to be a knowledgeable, skilled, personable Captain, ably assisted by Sean, her First Mate. Blessed with a beautiful, sunny day, Captain Sarah sailed us upstream to a point beyond the George Washington Bridge and beneath the colorful Palisades, while pointing out interesting landmarks. Pauses in her narration allowed for quiet conversation. Sean made sure all the guests were comfortable, distributing blankets to those who were chilly and drinks to the thirsty, all with a smile. The Full Moon is a beautiful boat with comfortable seating inside and out, and good sight lines in all directions. Check in was a breeze. Lots of park bench seating along the pier. A five star experience all around! Do consider it!

This was so much fan. It was so relaxing and the crew is outstanding. They asked if we needed drinks/food, and even asked if we wanted pictures! Very professional, cannot recommend this enough.

Excellent temperate morning for seeing foliage. Uri and Jesse did a great job narrating the trip and keeping us in drinks. My only complaint is that it was all too short, I would have loved to keep going up the river for another 30 minutes to an hour.
