Sail NYC's skyline aboard a classic sailboat!

We had the most amazing private sunset sail with Captain Eric! From the moment we stepped aboard, Eric made us feel incredibly welcome with his warm hospitality. His knowledge of New York City's history is impressive, and he shared fascinating stories and insights that made the experience even more memorable. The views of the skyline at sunset were breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend an evening in NYC. Thank you, Eric, for an unforgettable sail! Cheers!

Eric has a ton of experience !! If yup want to spend a great time and also learn about NYC def Eric is your captain!! ☀️💛

A great time was had by all. Thanks!

Captain Eric is the best!!! First, he has a wealth of knowledge. We were so lucky he shared his extremely beautiful and personal boat with us. It was an incredible experience. I grew up in NY and have lived here my whole life, but I never experienced NY and the Statue of Liberty from this perspective.
Thank you Thank you, ERIC!!
Our group had a WONDERFUL time.

Eric was outstanding. We had some threatening weather, and he communicated it all clearly and we were able to go out and have a magic day sailing on New York Harbor.

Just a perfect experience. The Bridges, then the statue, and then a gorgeous sunset. Amazing.

Thank you Eric!

10/10 couldn’t recommend Eric more!!!! My boyfriend loves to sail so for his birthday we did a 2 hour cruise and it was perfect. Eric was so knowledgeable but also didn’t force us to listen to anything if we didn’t want! He made sure we were taken care of the entire time and made us feel so comfortable! He had water, cups and a tray that didn’t slide for his wine! Blankets if we needed it and even took some amazing pictures we will forsure be framing one day! I came to work on Monday and told my all coworkers if you’re going to ever sail in the city please use Eric! You can tell he’s truly sharing a passion and it was a privilege to set sail with such a professional! We will be back!

I contacted Eric in advance of my girlfriend's birthday! We took a three hour evening cruise around southern Manhattan visiting both the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. Eric was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of New York and New Jersey, including the construction of the financial district, the Lincoln Tunnel, and Governor's Island. It was also so interesting to hear about Eric's sailing background and stories.

The boat was beautiful and well-maintained. Eric did a great job teaching us how to move around the boat safely, especially as I had never sailed before. Eric was also happy to be a photographer for us at any and all times during our sail. He was well-prepared with drinks, cupholders, and a speaker we could connect to. It's very easy to see that he loves his job and knows how to make sailing enjoyable for everyone! Overall, 10/10 experience! Can't wait to do it again!

The New York skyline is designed from an off the shoreline perspective…and we thought that a boat, especially a sail boat would be the best way to experience it.

Eric the owner of Narwhal Yacht Charters and the captain of the Sail Boat was an excellent host, guide and made us feel completely at home.

We chose the sunset cruise for 3 hours (6:30pm to 9:30pm) and it was magical !

The route charted by Eric was perfect..which also included going under the Brooklyn Bridge and sailing near the Statue of Liberty.

I would highly recommend this once in a lifetime treat !!

Obvious 5 stars for Eric and his boat the Genesis. Beautiful atmosphere on this incredibly well renovated boat. Eric know how to be here to make you feel safe and how to stay discrete when you want to spend some private time with your crew.

We're two families who do charters every summer. It's a great way to get away from city life without leaving the city.

This was our first sunset sail and we couldn't have asked for a better captain and better boat. Eric's classic sailboat is a labor of love for him. He restored it himself.

And he bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable on our 4 hour charter.

Would do it again!

Eric and his beautiful boat Genesis are absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend taking a trip with Eric enough and can’t wait to tell all my friends to go next time they are in NYC.

We had a great time aboard Eric's sailboat, celebrating my friend's 30th. He provided everything to make our trip comfortable and was a great New York City guide! The boat itself is also really beautiful and old.

Eric was awesome, and the boat was stunning! We had a magical sunset cruise, couldn't have asked for a better trip.

The sail was perfect in every way. Boat was clean and well maintained. Eric was ready and departure was exactly on time. He did safety protocols first which I very much appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture and landscapes we were looking at. I would absolutely take this sail again and will.

We had a great time sailing with Eric! The experience was excellent and we’d highly recommend it!

Amazing experience!!!

Eric was fantastic! Total professional, friendly and low key.

Myself and 5 friends had an awesome 4 hour sunset summer cruise . The boat was clean and well maintained. Eric gave us lots of interesting facts about what we were passing and the best places to take pictures. Eric was super communicative leading up the trip with any questions we had about what he provided, where to meet him etc. There was a chance of rain that luckily cleared up the morning of and he was clear about what his rain requirements were and that we'd hear from him throughout the day. The 6 of us fit by in the back with Eric by the wheel (covered) and then there was room toward the front for us to stand and sit. We all had a great time!

Eric is an incredible host, knowledgeable, witty and kind. The boat is charming and the views are breathtaking. This adventure was the highlight of our trip to NYC.

Eric was fantastic! Felt very safe given his extensive experience on the water and had everything we needed! We bought wine, snacks etc., and did not have to worry about many details as Eric had it all covered. Definitely returning for another trip!

Amazing night, Eric is the best.

Eric was a great host and captain to our sail ride. This was my second sail with Eric as I was showing my parents around New York city for their first vacation post-pandemic. As assured, Eric was safe, kind, communicative and very friendly on board. He shared some fun facts, history and insights during our sail. We got great family pics by the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline! I'll be back to sail with Eric soon again!

Eric is very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. He took a last min booking same day!

Eric made this experience SO easy and SO unforgettable. He was super friendly and helpful, genuinely happy to answer questions ahead of time and during, and extremely patient with all of us (even after a few glasses of champagne). Hands down one of the best experiences i’ve had, birthday or otherwise, and i’m already planning the next outing my friends and i will be taking with Eric. The boat was well-stocked and had everything we needed. In terms of pricing, Eric is very reasonable and provides way more bang for your buck. He’s also incredibly responsive and tries to work with your scheduling constraints.

We enjoyed the trip immensely. The yacht was beautiful and Eric was relaxed and accommodating. The trip itself was amazing from Hudson Yards to the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. It was a beautiful night and a great trip.
Thanks
Raushan and Jeff

Eric Puleio was the best host and captain! He had everything we needed, he was very friendly and accommodating! My friends and I really enjoyed our boating experience, so much fun! He also told us about his love for sailing and I think it’s amazing seeing people do what they love for living! Amazing experience 5/5.

Whether you're a tourist or a born and bred NYer, this trip is a treat. Captain Eric is professional, knowledgable and welcoming. The boat is a beauty, and extremely comfortable. Bring a picnic, and see NY like you've never seen it. Even if you're not lucky enough to get a sunset, seeing the city light up at night from the water is spectacular.
Eric was very responsive to all my needs and concerns before, and during, the sail, including keeping us updated on potential weather issues, and making sure we knew where to go and what to expect. We plan to make this an annual adventure.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a sunset cruise on Eric's boat. He was a great Captain and was incredibly welcoming and had all things we needed for a great sail. I would definitely book Eric again!

This was such a magical day! Eric was lovely, informative and so wonderful to sail with. He explained all the sights and was funny and easygoing. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

Captain Eric is phenomenal! The sunset cruise that he charted for myself and my girlfriend was breathtaking and truly memorable with beautiful views of the NYC skyline, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

Really very highly recommend it and will be back soon!

We had a fantasy trip with Eric. The consummate professional; made us feel welcome and safe. We knew it was a little risky with the weather but Eric navigated perfectly while providing the thrill of outracing the storm. Will definitely book him again.

Eric gave us an amazing sail. I think I gonna book his boat again in the future.

My clothing company booked The Genesis as our photo shoot location for a 3 hr sunset charter- Captain Eric was fantastic and made the experience so easy. He was helpful, hospitable, and The Genesis was so perfect for our shoot aesthetic. Will definitely be booking another charter with him for fun with friends sometime soon! Would highly recommend booking with Narwhal Yacht Charters!

I booked a sunset sail with Captain Eric for a group of girlfriends, and we had the best time! Eric's boat is an immaculate, beautiful classic sailboat, and sailing along the Hudson at sunset was absolutely magical! Captain Eric was super attentive to everyone's needs, and made sure that the group was comfortable and made recommendations on how where to sit on the boat to make the most of it.
The girls loved it, and we will definitely book with Captain Eric again soon!

My siblings and I surprised our mom with a sunset cruise of Manhattan's skyline as an early Mother's Day celebration. As jaded New Yorkers who love to be on the water, our ride on Captain Eric's gorgeous sailboat managed to exceed our expectations. He could not have been any warmer or passionate about sailing. He had fun facts to share about New York City and the environment. We lucked out with perfect weather and a view of a blood orange full moon. Capt. Eric also provides snacks/drinks and makes you feel at home on his actual floating home. I can't wait to go out on a longer day cruise with friends :) Definitely recommend!
