Crew
Captain Andy fell in love with the water and gained a deep respect for nature while fishing with his beloved grandpa, David, in Louisiana.

He refurbished it and has now brought this rare gem to sail the greatest city in the world, New York.

Great time with Captain Adam on his beautifully restored boat. We had a group of 5 and it was the perfect size. We had the boat for 3 hours and that felt like the perfect amount of time to see all of lower Manhattan as well as circle the Statue.

Location and Destination Guide
Usually this boat operates around New York, NY.
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.
