5.00Captain Steve's boat is impressive, meticulously maintained, and comfortable. The classic rock he had playing in the background was perfectly suited to the day. As for the Captain himself, he is a skilled sailor (of course), an expert historian of Great Neck and Manhasset Bay, and an easy conversationalist. The two hours we spent together on the water sailed by (pardon the pun) happily.

5.00The experience was very lovely. The weather was nice and Steve was super friendly. He was also a fantastic instructor when teaching/showing my brother how to sail, which I found exciting. I would/will definitely look forward to booking with him again.
Can’t go wrong with Captain Steve!

5.00Nice boat, nicer captain. Gave us lots of history about the house and islands as we passed. He even taught us about the boat and let us do some of the work at our request.
A wonderful way to celebrate

5.00I booked Captain Steve’s sunset cruise as a surprise activity for my wife’s 30th birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our ride out from Port Washington was beautiful despite some unexpected cloud cover. Capt. Steve is super friendly and knowledgeable telling all about the sights we cruised by and operating the boat. We absolutely loved our time out and will be booking again.
Treat yourself to this awesome experience.

5.00This was a five star experience all around. From the beautiful boat to the amazing views of Kings Point, City Island, Hart Island, New Rochelle and NYC. From the second we stepped on the boat Captain Steve greeted us with a warm welcome that made us feel instantly comfortable. He was so attentive throughout the entire trip and had both of my nieces involved with the sailing. He is one of the most friendly, chatty and chill guys I've ever met which definitely made our sailing experience so much fun and relaxed. The weather was perfect, a sunny afternoon on a beautiful boat with the friendliest captain in the world... life doesn't get much better. Fantastic experience. I will recommend it to everyone I know. I will definitely be going back. Thank you Captain Steve 👨✈️
Excellent guide and experience

5.00On a hot summer day, we booked with Captain Steve last minute - just 4 of us. It felt like luxury. Beautiful ship, smooth sailing (there was no wind so the motor powered it), great surroundings - multi million dollar houses along the water that Steve shared info about. Water was calm - we anchored and swam for a bit. Plenty of room for 6, we put our stuff below - there’s a bathroom, shower, kitchen, fridge. Felt wonderful to be out on the water.
