Crew
Captain Andy fell in love with the water and gained a deep respect for nature while fishing with his beloved grandpa, David, in Louisiana. He has navigated the entire Western Hemisphere, becoming a seasoned professional sailor. He’s accumulated over 150,000 miles professionally, moving various boats up to 95 feet in size from Europe’s North Sea down to the Bay of Biscay and from North America to South America. In 2023 Captain Andy bought his dream boat; a hand-crafted Hinckley Bermuda 40, which he affectionately named after his mother. He refurbished it and has now brought this rare gem to sail the greatest city in the world, New York.
His achievements include :
A Certified US Coast Guard Master – highest official captain certification to sail a 100-ton vessel for paying customers.
Three transatlantic unassisted sails
Water Survival Instructor – including helicopter rescue training
Certified Dive Instructor – over 1,000 dives logged

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.
