Description

Our goal is to introduce an unparalleled level of both luxury custom yacht and superior service at a truly affordable price point.

Compared to cruisers of the 90s-present, our restored 1970 classic Columbia yacht has character, charm, and pizzazz. An absolutely huge cockpit (due to its ocean racing pedigree), tastefully wrapped in varnished wood and accented with polished stainless steel. Plush cushions on deeply varnished slat benches. Wide walkways and a huge uncluttered foredeck allow everyone space to spread out. There’s simply more room to enjoy your adventure.

We really sail. Whenever wind conditions and safety permit, we turn off the motor and sail. If you have never experienced it before, it’s breathtaking. Silence and the feeling of the yacht surging powerfully forward with each knot of wind is truly unique. We also answer questions and teach to anyone interested.

Location, location, locations.
One15 Marina at Brooklyn Bridge Park is our Primary pickup location. We can also pick up from the West side of Manhattan and Jersey City. (additional dock fees apply for Tribeca in Manhattan and Jersey City.)

Local Small Business.
We are a Dad – Daughter team, a local small business. We spent years rebuilding the boat ourselves, and are proud of the level of effort, attention to detail and care we put into every charter.

– Your own private yacht. No other guests onboard.
– White glove, high-end level of service.
– USGC Licensed Captain.
– True motor-off sailing whenever it’s safe and there's wind
– Your choice of routes.
– Your personal choice of music. We have a large Bluetooth speaker with 2 Karaoke Microphones.
– Food plating and serving.
– Free Cooler loaded with ice.
– Free Bottled water.
– Free awesome photos by our crew. We post an online gallery on request for no additional charge.
– Maximum 6 guests.
- Child, Senior, Special Needs, and pet-friendly.

    Ian was an incredible host and captain. Faith is a beautiful boat and Ian was super accommodating of our schedule changes. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a high quality sailing experience in NY Harbor.

    I had a great time with my party on Ian's vessel. Ian and his first mate were very accommodating of our requests. Unfortunately, the wind wasn't great so weren't able to sail. However, that didn't take away from the experience. I would definitely book again!

    Very romantic! Captain was very pleasant and helpful. The sailboat is well kept and was easy to access. Highly recommend this experience anytime, but especially around sunset.

    Our family trip on the Faith was just wonderful and so memorable. Ian and his assistant are such lovely people, and they really made sure we were taken care of and enjoying ourselves every moment. We can't wait to return for another trip!!

    I had proposed to my girlfriend and took her on the boat afterwards. Ian and Tyler were just fantastic and couldn’t have been more accommodating and professional! We definitely want to do another trip again! Thank you so much!

Location and Destination Guide

Sailing NYC on a Sailo Boat Rental

destination guide

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. 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.
