Sailing NYC with Brooklyn Sail

We had a great time! 10/10 would sail again.

Beautiful boat. Fabulous Captain - knowledgeable and friendly. The sail was just stunning and we hope to ride again, soon.

We had a wonderful two-hour sail with Ian's brother, Andrew. He was extremely considerate and responsive to the needs of his passengers, a skilled sailor, and just great company throughout.

He charted a route from Pier 5 in Brooklyn heading north up the East River and coming about under the Manhattan Bridge. From there we continued south through Buttermilk Channel passing close by Governor's Island, Liberty Island, Ellis Island, and then returned near the Battery back to the pier.

I cannot recommend this captain and boat more highly. It was a wonderful to be on the water and see the islands from this unique perspective.

So much fun! Brought my parents who were visiting, the trip was so special! Would definitely recommend a trip with Ian. Boat is great, captain is knowledgeable and it's just great fun sailing around Manhattan

Great experience. Would definitely recommend and hope to do again soon!

Ian was a delightful captain. He was friendly and knowledgeable which was helpful to my guests who have various sailing skills and interest.
Ian was timely and courteous, ensuring we started promptly and also enjoyed a nice long sail.
Ian's boat is comfortable, clean and well sized for a group of 6.
I recommend you book with Ian for a lovely, leisurely time.

We had the best time on the boat! The captain was great. We felt welcomed and safe. So much fun. We'll definitely do it again.

We took a perfect trip over the holiday weekend. We are all local and all agreed it was one of our favorite NYC days, ever. Beautiful, easy, chill and a different way to enjoy our gorgeous city. Both Ian and Andrew are great to work with and captain the boat. We will 100% do it again.

Fantastic trip. Ian is an awesome captain. Very knowledgeable and the boat was great. Clean and very nice. We will absolutely be using him again, Highly recommend!

We sailed with Ian's brother Andrew, and he was a pleasure to be around. The boat was clean and stocked with ice and water. We brought our own food and drinks, and it was a wonderful day sailing on a beautiful boat.

Great ride around NYC. Ian was so quiet the whole time we forgot he was there, which was perfect. He was happy to take some photos of us as a group when we asked as well. Always in a good mood and just wanted us to enjoy ourselves safely on the boat. The excursion was 2.5 hours, an extra half hour than other were offering, and left from an ideal location out of Brooklyn. 5 stars

Ian was amazing! Proposal to my gf went extremely well. Ian was very accommodating and understanding! Will definitely book again! 5 *

Ian was very flexible about scheduling when a thunderstorm threw off our plans! My friends were able to use the reservation at a later date and even brought another person— very happy with the value of this booking! They had a great evening with city views, saw the Statue of Liberty up close, hopefully I’ll be able to join next time!! Communication was great as well!

We were planning to sail during sunset time but thanks to Ian who was very responsible about our safety, moved the sailing date to another day because a storm just showed up.

Then we we sailed at 9am which was a very good idea since the weather was beautiful out there.

We met Andrew, he was our captain and he explained everything we needed to know about our safety.

Then we sailed and everything went smoothly. Andrew was so kind and he took some pictures of us.

We enjoyed so much. We were 4 people. The boat is neat and equipped with all you can need to expend our time out there.

Great experience Ian was great!

The trip was amazing! I highly recommend it for everyone.

It was great! Thank you so much ,Ian!

Ian was wonderful! We had a great boat ride! If you’re thinking about booking but haven’t yet, just do it! Definitely worth it and such a cool experience with friends!

The boat ride was lovely and could not have gone better!

My family and I had an amazing time enjoying all of the great information Ian shared. He was very kind and is very passionate about sailing. The boat was clean and had all sorts of amenities to keep his passengers comfortable. Would 100% recommend going and I will personally be booking again!!!

We sailed with Ian to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday and it couldn't have been better! A beautiful sunset sail around lower manhattan and the statue of liberty was the perfect way to celebrate with friends. Also very covid safe since it was just our group on the boat! Ian was great and we had a blast. Now I just need to find anther excuse to sail again! Highly recommend.

Highly recommend!!

Everything was UUHMAZING ! I cannot eait to book again. I am so happy i booked Ian!

It was an amazing trip!! Thank you very much Ian for all!
We will come back for sure!!

Excellent day trip.. Ian was great and kept us nice and dry
Would do it again.

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.

Highly recommend Ian and this trip!!

Ian is a super safe and wonderful captain and his sailboat is pristine and beautiful. He was waiting for us and made this birthday trip unforgetable.

He will sail around and highlight NYC in a way you will never forget. Thank you, Ian!

Had the absolute best birthday boat trip. Ian is safe, knowledgeable and fun and his boat is the perfect size and layout for 6 people. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to get back on board. Thank you!

Had a great time on Ian’s boat! He was a great captain and the boat was perfect!

We had the most fantastic afternoon on the water! Ian was wonderful and the boat was truly stunning. Incredible way to celebrate a birthday and I will absolutely be coming back for another trip!

I couldn't recommend Ian more. Everything was perfect. Best birthday ever!

Our sail with Ian was beautiful, relaxing, and really fun.
Ian was quick to respond and really accommodating to me and my group. We definitely look forward to sailing with Ian 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!

Ian was helpful, timely and responsive and we all had a great evening aboard the Enchantress! Thank you!

Ian gave us the most perfect farewell to NYC. His boat is beautiful and spacious. He was extremely professional and we had a pleasant time.

Ian was a fantastic Captain! He drove smoothly, was very accommodating & made sure we had a great time. His boat was clean and well kept. I would definitely book with Ian again. Great experience! :)

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!

Great boat ride Ian was very patient and made us very comfortable. Definitely booking again

Ian was an amazing captain. Filled with interesting stories and very professional, we enjoyed the sail to celebrate our anniversary. We will do it again!

We had a great sail with Ian on Father’s Day. There were 5 of us and there was plenty of space. The weather was perfect and the harbor was beautiful for a sunset sail. The boat is in great shape and Ian is a terrific captain. Highly recommend. Best charter out of Brooklyn Bridge Park.

thank you so much for having us me and my husband had a great time the smile on my husband face was priceless. Ian was super cool i’m going to do it again and I’m gonna to book it with him Definitely Made us feel comfortable and safe Thank you again😌

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!!

My family and I had a great time. Ian was awesome he answered all of our questions. He informed us on where we located when sailing around. It was a really great Father’s Day surprise for my husband. The trip was very relaxing.

My kids and I had a great time! Captain Ian is a pro!

What an AMAZING time!!! Ian is the best captain!! He was easygoing and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. The boat is beautiful and clean. Definitely will be taking another trip with Ian soon!!

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.
