We acknowledge the anticipation and dedication involved in orchestrating a celebration on the water. As seasoned professionals, your safety and enjoyment are paramount to us. Weather remains unpredictable until your departure time. Forecasts change frequently, often deviating from predicted rainfall. Showers may be forecasted in the area, but not necessarily along our cruising route. Should rain approach, we can swiftly enclose the cockpit. Our new 8K custom-made enclosure, crafted with top-tier Eisenglass, ensures unobstructed views. Regardless of weather forecasts, we proceed with our plans. Cancellations only occur if the USCG issues a small marine craft advisory or if safety concerns arise, a rare occurrence. In such cases, we'll explore alternatives, including rescheduling or upgrading to a larger yacht if feasible. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in timing can make all the difference.
Cancellations more than 30 days in advance will receive a refund, less any fees, including credit card and booking fees incurred. We do not cancel charters under 30 days. You may reschedule to another date, within the current season only, if done so more than 14 days in advance. There is a 20% rescheduling fee. Rescheduling is not permitted less than 14 days in advance. Cancellations and rescheduling under 14 days will forfeit the entire charter fee. Any balance due is the responsibility of the charterer and will be charged in full. Holiday bookings and charters over 4 hours have a 50% non-refundable fee for rescheduling 30 days in advance. All requests for cancellation and rescheduling must be submitted via email and are not considered received until we respond. We do our best to accommodate our guests whenever possible, please understand we are a small business and once we accept your booking, we pass on all others, and we cannot regain that. - Amal

We had a great time celebrating my birthday on this boat. Amal’s communication was great throughout the entire process — what to bring, booking a captain, and where to meet. Looking forward to trying another route next time!

Captain Mark and Captain Vanessa made me feel safe, secure, special and welcome on board. Amal is an absolute badass at what she does, she made my booking and boating experience amazing. The best birthday gift was being able to explore the Hudson River through this experience. Couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable, professional and exciting experience from Amal and the Captain. If you are reading this, please do not hesitate and book with them. 100/10 would definitely recommend!

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.
