If you are looking for an experience that will blow the minds of friends or family visiting NYC, this is the sailing experience for you. The views are unbeatable, even if you only have a little time for a 1/4 day, if feels much longer, and you get to see SO much on the Hudson. The captain and crew are unbelievably attentive, informative and super gracious. You can either have the trip catered or bring on your own wine and snacks. If you choose to bring on your own items the crew takes care of plating the provisions and keeping your glasses topped off the entire trip. The captain and the crew were also incredibly kind to our little one who got to spend some time piloting the boat with supervision. 10 out of 10!

Amazing experience. Captain Martin was responsive to my hundred questions before the trip, the boat was gorgeous, and he and Caleb did a perfect job of attending to our group of six while still letting us enjoy the ride and eachother.

Martin & Caleb were great!! They made my group of four feel very comfortable as we boarded and were very helpful in creating an enjoyable experience for us during our 2 hr trip. The boat was larger than I expected and they helped us make use of it by ensuring our safety as we sat in front of it closer to the water. Caleb came around periodically to check on our champagne glasses and even held it down with the photos. This experience was a first for the group and I'm glad we had such a great crew to expose us to the boat life!

I love to share the joy of sailing. Manhattan is where I learned to sail more than 25 years ago. It all started out with a daysail, and I was hooked. I love the thrill of raising the sails and the cutting through the water. I've sailed from Maine to St Lucia, through hurricanes and doldrums. I've seen the curvature of the earth and experienced the Bermuda Triangle.
I have a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain’s License and am a NYC architectural and history tour guide. Ask me anything! Or just sit back and enjoy the experience. Let's go sailing!

Location and Destination Guide
Usually this boat operates around New York, NY.
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.
