“What a wonderful day on the water! We booked this excursion for our daughter’s birthday. Captain Jarad met us and brought us out to this gorgeous sailboat/schooner. We don’t sail much, so we were briefed on protocols and we were then off into Jamaica Bay. Serene, beautiful, and amazing sights. We got to swim, toasted some champagne and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
