Owner
I have skippered boats in the Caribbean, Belize, Croatia, Italy, and various places in the US. My credential include a USCG 50 Ton Masters License, as well as ASA Instructor credential up to and including Advanced Coastal Cruising.
I have taught sailing and skippered charters in NY Harbor for over 18 years - it is a body of water of which I am very familiar. In addition, I have lived and worked in Manhattan since 1973, and can often provide interesting information about the sights we pass.
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.
