Policies

Cancelation policy: Strict

Full refund if renter cancels 31 days or more before the trip start date.
No refund if renter cancels 30 days or less before the trip start date.

Boat rules

  • CANCELLATIONS: We strive to be as accommodating as possible. As a small business with a short season, once we take your booking we pass on all others for that slot- we cannot recapture that business.  We do understand things do change; therefore, we have policies that are fair. We try to accommodate requests that do not negatively impact business operations, however that is not always possible.
  • Charterer may cancel or reschedule to another date, ONLY if done so more than 30 days in advance, a refund, less 10% plus any fees incurred will apply. We do not cancel charters under 30 days for any reason. Rescheduling between 15-30 days in advance has a 25% rescheduling fee. Rescheduling and cancellation less than 15 days in advance will forfeit the charter fee. Any balance due will be charged to the charterer. All requests for cancellation and rescheduling must be submitted via email and are not considered received until we respond. You may transfer the booking to an eligible charterer if we are notified at least 48 hours ahead of time in writing to ensure our paperwork is in order.
  • Cancellations only occur if the USCG issues a small craft advisory or the captain deems it unsafe (usually decided just hours before departure). Rain is a land-weather concern; Wind and Sea State are marine-weather concerns. We follow the Coast Guard's lead to ensure your safety.
  • Custom orders and add on items such as banners, catering, etc., cannot be cancelled for any reason.
  • YOUR BOOKING SLOT: Your booking is set for 2 or 3 hours. We will board just prior to your start time and return about 15 minutes prior to your end time. We do not extend charters if you are late- it is your responsibility to make sure your group arrives about 15 minutes prior. Late departures will have a shorter on water experience.
  • FOOD AND DRINKS: Guests will eat and drink SIGNIFICANTLY LESS on a boat than on land. The sites are inspiring, the music is amazing and people like to move about and mingle as well as capture the moments with photos. We want you to have a hassle-free experience and planning appropriately helps. We suggest charcuterie and cheese boards, fruit platters and simple handheld items. We can arrange this for you so when you arrive everything is ready. You may bring your own boards and drinks. Basic boating guidelines- Nothing that stains or is difficult to clean (red wine, oils, sauces and items with dark pigments/coloring). If you are bringing your own items, please let us know ahead of time so we are prepared and can help guide you. We do not accept deliveries or drop offs prior to your boarding- being mindful of how much you bring will make the on water time longer.

Location & Destination Guide

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.

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! Read 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. Read 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.
