    A nice, relaxing cruise around the city. Got to see some great architecture and see Manhattan from a different perspective. More of a fun/unique thing to do than an educational experience!

Question from Lisa F.
This sounds like fun, but what is the course component? What are the participants taught? With what skills/knowledge can participants expect to leave?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Lisa! There's not really a "class" component for this specific experience - it's more social. Guests onboard are welcome to ask questions about sailing and the city sights during the cruise and the crew is more than happy to talk with them, But we will not be teaching anything up front. This cruise is more leisurely and is meant for people looking for a relaxing experience on the water.
