    Absolutely delightful day with Rick, who is a great captain and fine guy to share the day with, very likeable ! We had a variety of wind and seas on Long Island Sound during the day which made a great sailing experience. The boat is very comfortable and fully outfitted. CHOOSE this boat for your trip. Rick knows all the spots of interest up and down Long Island Sound and is sensitive to your requirements. We look forward to making another excursion with Rick in 2024. Book this boat with confidence.

    This was a truly wonderful experience and Captain Rick was extremely knowledgable, engaging and very accommodating. He provided us with some good options as to what we could do and we ended up being able to not only experience a wonderful boat trip across the Sound but also swim and have dinner at a fun restaurant on Long Island. I highly recommend this.

    This truly was one of the best experiences of my life! I chartered the sailboat alone - I just wanted a day to reflect and enjoy the beauty of my surroundings. Well from the first minute to the last - it was simply wonderful. Rick was the absolute best captain - kind, funny, professional and simply a joy to share the day with! I felt like we were friends by the end of the trip. Don’t miss out on this opportunity with Rick! A++++ all around!

    We had a wonderful day on the Long Island Sound with Captain Rick. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather and not that windy. Literally smooth sailing. The boat was clean, beautiful wood features it was a lovely all day cruise culminating into a beautiful sunset. Rick is a gifted story teller and we explored a parts of the coast and the mansions of Sands Point. Mostly we relaxed and enjoyed a day out with our party. We were three generations from age 13 to 76 and we all loved it. A great way to enjoy each other safely.

    I booked Rick for a half day sail as a present for my wife's 50th, along with our two young kids and family friend. Rick was the consummate host from start to finish. He was especially good with our very demanding kids (2.5 and 7.5) and incredibly patient and engaging with them. We had a great day and are already looking forward to booking Rick for another trip. I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend Rick to anyone. The boat was fantastic, everything went smoothly, safely and we were all talking about it for the rest of the day. Thank you Rick for a great day on the water.

    We had a great time on Rick’s boat. He was extremely quick in responding to inquiries prior to the trip. We started the trip with blue sky. But the weather turned stormy an hour+ later. Rick was very calm and experienced in dealing with the situation. He was also very nice and accommodating in responding to our requests. Thank you, Rick.

    Rick was incredible!! I can't say enough how amazing our trip out on Nirvana was for my father's 70th birthday. Something we will remember forever as a family. The sailboat was beyond beautiful and Rick is such a pro and super reliable in communication. He is also a great host! We hope to be able to board Nirvana again one day soon. Thank you Rick and Nirvana!

    Our trip far exceeded our expectations! Rick is an incredible captain and he made the experience fun and memorable! He was amazing with our kids, and my husband who I got the gift for described the trip as the best day of our summer. I cannot say enough good things about Rick and his boat! Anybody would be lucky to spend a day on board this boat!

Location and Destination Guide

Usually this boat operates around Mamaroneck, 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.

What could we do on a boat for a full day?

Answer:


0 votes
You determine the start and end times for this boat rental. On Friday’s the captain would suggest the following. We start at about 3:00 pm we sail across the Sound to a restaurant that has been very popular with my clients after dinner we sail up to Rye swimming and relaxing along the way. We reach Rye by 8:00 to get a good spot to view their extensive fireworks display. We leave Rye around 10:00 and get back to the dock around 11:00 pm. That’s just one suggested itinerary.
