I went on an afternoon sail and got a great view of lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island, without having to stand in a long, long line. The ship is clean and comfortable. The crew is young and energetic, and will let you help raise the sails. There's a bar for refreshments. Could only be better if the trip was longer but def worth the price!! Easy to find--take the 1 train to South Ferry, turn right at the Staten Island Ferry terminal, and just look for the masts.
