Description

The yacht was built by Nathanael Herreshoff, arguably America’s greatest yacht designer. This is a Federally-documented, National Landmark sailing vessel. A true wooden ship, her hull is solid mahogany, decks are Indian teak and her hollow wooden mast is made of American spruce. The yacht is 72 feet long, weighs 22 tons and carries 30 guests. She was launched in 1921, and was originally owned by philanthropist George Baker (founder of today’s Citibank) as Mr. Bakers’ private duck hunting yacht!

The yacht still sails on her solid mahogany and teak hull. She boasts a finely varnished mast, making it stand out from other craft. Sailing from the spectacular North Cove Marina on the Hudson, this American beauty is perfect for lunch and dinner cruises with amazing views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn, and Manhattan Bridges Chrysler Building among other sights that define this city. Whatever unique requests you have, the yacht sailing crew will work with you to make your event a delight.

Our whole trip from booking to the actual event was great. Everyone had an amazing time. The staff on board, especially those serving and looking after our guests were fantastically attentive. James was very helpful, patient and accommodating, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

James and his crew were fantastic - everyone was attentive, social, and made sure our group had an enjoyable sail. Plus - we appreciated the food platters they created! I'd highly 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.
