Crew
Hi my name is Ian. I've lived in Brooklyn for over ten years and love to share my joy of sailing and nature with guests. I’m the owner of the vessel, a beautiful 1994 Catalina 34 sailboat. I have a USCG (United States Coast Guard) Master sailing license, I'm certified in CPR, and have spent years living and sailing around the Atlantic East Coast. I once solo sailed the Bahamas for a Winter and had friends visit me along the way. I look forward to meeting you and going out for a sail around NY Harbor! Hi my name is Andrew. I’ve been living in Brooklyn for over twenty years. My brother Ian introduced me to sailing in 2008 and since then I’ve sailed the Atlantic Coast, Bahamas, and New York Harbor. I have a USCG (United States Coast Guard) captain’s license as well as a sailing endorsement, and I’m certified in CPR. I have lots of information to share about New York City and its landmarks, just ask! I look forward to meeting your group and going out for a sail. :)

Reviews
We had a great time on Ian’s boat! Andrew was super welcoming and knowledgeable and the boat offers everything you need for a lovely sail.
This experience was a 10/10!!! We sailed shortly after I proposed to my partner. It was 100% the highlight of the day and nothing short of magical. I recommend taking the sailboat during the sundown. It was stunningly unreal!!!
We sailed with Ian's brother, Andrew, who is super chill, kind, respectful and just had all around good energy! He knew a ton about all of the surroundings - it was fascinating to learn some NYC history from him.
I can't recommend Brooklyn Sail enough. It's not just about the sailboat, which was beautiful, but more importantly who you travel with and the experience they give you. Andrew - you're AWESOME!!! :) Can't wait to sail again!

Location & Destination Guide
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.
