Had an awesome time! Took a really nice day cruise along the Hudson with family and friends. Captain Scott is super fun and even pointed out some cool landmarks along the way. He even was able to drive around the Statue of Liberty which was just an awesome sight to see close up. The boat was immaculate inside and out, even has bathrooms, bedrooms, and a living room downstairs. Kid-friendly and a very relaxing and fun day all around. I will definitely hop aboard the "Imagine" again and maybe bring the fishing gear next time. - Dave Cooper, Parsippany, NJ
We loved the unreal Views of New York! The ship was smooth and second to none. The "IMAGINE" team was very friendly and did everything they could to make sure we were well looked after and had a great experience. - Mark Alexander, Saint Charles, MO
I did a lot of research until I found Imagine Yacht Charters and it definitely was as good as the reviews said. This was our first time to New York and we did a sunset cruise and we were blown away!! The Captain and crew were outstanding and so accommodating and pointed out many landmarks around the harbor.. We got up close to the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge and saw Manhattan lights by night. The weather was perfect and this cruise was the best highlight of our whole trip to New York!! Just want to say thank you again to Captain Scott and the Crew as you two were awesome!! We will certainly recommend you to all of our friends and family!! Hope you guys enjoy the song we made!!
-The Gilligan Island group
Captain Scott and his crew made it a fantastic afternoon. We were celebrating a group of birthdays among old friends, and the Imagine did not disappoint. A beautiful afternoon, a fantastic boat, and wonderful service made it a really special day. All of us had spent a lot of time in NYC, but seeing the skyline, Statue of Liberty, bridges and other sites from the water was unique, and made for a very memorable trip.
The crew of the Imagine were flawless hosts. Incredible setup on the boat with multiple locations at which to hang out, and the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, NJ and up and down the river are spectacular. But the highlight is certainly the proximity you can get to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Just two straight hours of smiles, laughs and good times. Could not recommend it more.
-Mike M, Manhattan, NYC
After 30 years of sailboat racing, I hate stinkpots. But Capt. Scott and "Imagine" turned me around. Within the radius of the boat's own length. No mean feat. I detailed a custom cruise of some NYC harbor highlights but also the seldom seen sewered inlets in Brooklyn: The Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn Navy Yard and Newtown Creek. With minimal navigation info available, he got us into every one, where we discovered exactly what I hoped to see: historic NYC. Like a grain elevator in Brooklyn from the 19th century?!? Even took a swim near Riker's Island -- the western end of Long Island Sound -- and enjoyed the terrific (and air-conditioned!!) owner's stateroom with separate shower. Can't get any of that on a sailboat. Great trip.
-Bill K., Westport, CT
My friends and I had a wonderful time upon Captain Scott's yacht! We filmed a music video, and they we're very helpful throughout, especially with their fantastic sound system!
They supplied food and beverage, which was much appreciated, and we truly felt as if the boat was our own.
Captain Scott and his crew were very kind and accommodating throughout the entire trip, and I would highly recommend chartering his beautiful yacht.
Best,
Joel Ronson, Manhattan, NYC
