Description
There is nothing like sailing on New York Harbor. You will enjoy breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the New York City skyline. Sit back and relax, or work the sails and take the helm. Whether you're an experienced sailor, or trying it for the first time, you will have an unforgettable experience.
The boat is a 38 foot Ericson sloop designed by Bruce King and built in 1988. She has been beautifully maintained and upgraded with safety and comfort in mind. The large cockpit and spacious decks provide plenty of room for relaxing while the crew tends the sails. Down below is a complete galley with refrigeration, seating for six at the dinette and a fully enclosed head. Two private staterooms and berths in the saloon provide comfortable overnight accommodations.

My daughters humored my desire to get out on the water for my big birthday and were so thrilled we did! Dave’s warm, easy and expert manner as skipper was really lovely. He was communicative, flexible and cheerful. The boat is absolutely perfect for a small group too. After a week of rain and col

Great trip! We enjoyed it a lot! Dave is very gracious host, friendly and made sure we enjoyed our experience. My favourite part was sitting under the sail and watch sunset, Statue of Liberty in the fading lights. I was so happy we weren’t on one of these giant party boats..

Location and 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.
