Crew

Hi my name is Ian. I've lived in Brooklyn for nine years and love to share my joy of sailing and nature with guests. I’m the owner of Enchantress, 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!

    Ian was the absolute BEST. I had tried to find a few places to rent a tour last minute (literally 1-2 day notice) to surprise my older brother for his birthday! Everyone was a bust. But the universe led me to Ian. He was so kind enough to be flexible and create a time slot that he didn’t have originally to help with the timing of us having an engagement after our ride. That meant the world to me because I was trying SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to make it work with a boat tour for my brother birthday. The ride itself was so cool! It was a first for me being on any type of boat. But Ian was super nice, professional, chill, funny and cool. He was extremely knowledgeable about the sea and landmarks. He answered all million of my questions with no problem! He made this a memorable experience for my whole family. I would book with him again in a heart beat! Thank you sooooo much again.

    Ian was an excellent steward for the private sail afternoon trip around Manhattan, nothing short of spectacular. I surprised my partner with a private tour of NYC for our anniversary and this incredible experience exceeded my already high expectations. I will definitely be back to enjoy the marvelous views of this beautiful city again!

    We are so grateful to Captain Ian! He truly made our day. We had a small party of 4 (3 adults, 1 toddler) and had the best time during the sunset cruise around Manhattan, Governor's Island, Statue of liberty and up the Hudson. Captain Ian was very kind, professional, accommodating, and has a great sense of humor. Being able to use his blue tooth speaker was a plus as we were able to curate our own vibe. We truly had the best time and hope to book him again soon!

    Highly, highly recommend Ian and his beautiful sailboat! I surprised my husband with a sailboat ride around downtown NYC, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governor's Island, etc for Father's Day and it was such a perfect, fun afternoon. Ian was so easy to book with and he was so professional - we felt incredibly safe while also having the freedom to explore the boat as we pleased. We brought our one-year-old son and Ian had a special infant life-jacket for him. He loved it. We are definitely going to book again with Ian. Thank you!!

    You will absolutely enjoy the trip around the NYC Harbor with Ian.

    I chartered him for a private trip to create a magical evening under the gorgeous summer sunset. He was kind enough to take a few photos as I proposed to my girlfriend under the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Definitely take advantage of laying down at the front of the ship to really feel the boat's movement. Ian even let us steer the ship for a minute, to get a sense of the boat.

    Fantastic new way to see the Statue of Liberty, lower Manhattan, Governor's and Ellis Island for natives and tourists alike.

Usually this boat operates around Brooklyn, 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.

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.

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?

No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! more...

What should I bring?

Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. more...

How long does a rental last?

The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests. more...
