Take a step back in time on New York’s largest tall ship or classic schooner! From spacious main deck or raised quarter deck, you’ll enjoy the sailing experience of a lifetime aboard these majestic topsail schooners as they unfurl their canvas and set sail through the harbor toward the Statue of Liberty! Along the way you will enjoy spectacular, unobstructed views of the Manhattan and New Jersey skylines, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governor's Island, and much more.
Few people ever have the chance to sail aboard a tall ship. The newest (and by far the biggest) addition to the fleet, the topsail schooner CLIPPER CITY allows you to do just that. An imposing 158-ft. long, with masts and rigging reaching up 120 feet from the deck, New York’s largest and most elegant sailing vessel!
Be whisked back in time to the Roaring 20s aboard the beautifully restored 1929 sailing ship -- SHEARWATER Classic Schooner. With a length of 82 feet, larger than the Mayflower and a width of 16.5 feet, she's one of largest sailboats built in her era yet she provides an intimate experience with a yachting-feel for up for 49 passengers.
Cocktails available for purchase at on-deck bar.
