Wow! We had an absolutely amazing time on our sailboat trip with Captain Dave. I proposed to my girlfriend during the sail, and Captain Dave made sure every detail was perfect for the moment. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out, making the experience even more special. We were treated to breathtaking views of Manhattan, the Hudson River, the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty. I can’t recommend Captain Dave highly enough—he made our day unforgettable!
My daughters humored my desire to get out on the water for my big birthday and were so thrilled we did! Dave’s warm, easy and expert manner as skipper was really lovely. He was communicative, flexible and cheerful. The boat is absolutely perfect for a small group too. After a week of rain and collective optimism we got the most perfect sailing weather and took advantage of it by sailing the full time rather than going around to East River. Best choice! I will not hesitate if I ever want to go out again!! Amazing!!
Great trip! We enjoyed it a lot! Dave is very gracious host, friendly and made sure we enjoyed our experience. My favourite part was sitting under the sail and watch sunset, Statue of Liberty in the fading lights. I was so happy we weren’t on one of these giant party boats..

Jump aboard a Sailo boat rental from the Big Apple and experience the thrill of the sea - and snap plenty of incredible pictures.
