    Highly recommended. The whole staff was great from beginning to end. It was very cold but they accommodated us well. The views at night were amazing. We will do this again, when it’s a lot warmer.

    I rented this Yacht for my birthday celebration with a few friends. The staff was very professional, accommodating & friendly. My guest & I had an amazing time. My husband & I generally travel for my birthday & due to the pandemic we were unable to travel. We decided to rent a yacht & celebrate with friends. It was the best decision. It was very memorable for all. Thanks to the crew!

    We rented this Yacht for my mom's 60th birthday. It was amazing. The yacht itself was luxurious and extremely nice. The crew was fantastic. Captain Paul and Daniel were both great. Stacy was amazing; she was nice, accommodating, and took great care of our whole party. I booked with Michael, who was responsive to all 10000 of my questions. I would highly recommend them!

    Our trip with Michael on the Justine was absolutely amazing! The yacht itself is immaculate and luxurious. We felt like royalty. The whole crew was incredibly helpful and accommodating. This was our first time renting a boat like this and it couldn't have gone better. We were renting it as part of a film shoot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for that as well as anyone looking for a special place to celebrate any occasion. Thank you Michael!

Location and Destination Guide

Sailing NYC on a Sailo Boat Rental

destination guide

Usually this boat operates around Jersey City, NJ.

New York City looks great from the ground, but that view from the water is something else! Jump aboard a Sailo boat rental from the Big Apple and experience the thrill of the sea - and snap plenty of incredible pictures. Sailing in NYC is a must on your summer bucket list, whether you are visiting or a New Yorker.

It might not be the first thing you think of when finding things to do in New York City, but renting a boat for a full day or just a few hours is a truly memorable experience.
