Hi! I love to share the joy of sailing. I have a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain’s License and I'm a NYC architectural and history tour guide. More than 25 years ago, I learned to sail here in the NY Harbor. Sailing this urban archipelago is always beautiful and interesting. It's what I live for. Let's go sailing!

About Martin

I love to share the joy of sailing. Manhattan is where I learned to sail more than 25 years ago. It all started out with a daysail, and I was hooked. I love the thrill of raising the sails and the cutting through the water. I've sailed from Maine to St Lucia, through hurricanes and doldrums. I've seen the curvature of the earth and experienced the Bermuda Triangle.

I have a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain’s License and am a NYC architectural and history tour guide. Ask me anything! Or just sit back and enjoy the experience. Let's go sailing!

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.
