Description
Welcome to New York City's top rated sailing charter company on the harbor!
This is Captain Eric, at your service! My standard offer is a 4 hour sail along NYC's skyline for up to six passengers aboard my classic sailboat, which is a seaworthy Tayana 37. I also offer sails for different lengths of time. Pricing for private charters are as follows:
Two hours:
$540 for four or less people
$670 for five people
$805 for six people
Three hours:
$630 for four or less people
$785 for five people
$945 for six people
Four hours:
$725 for four or less people
$905 for five people
$1,085 for six people
Eight hours:
$1,445 for four or less people
$1,805 for five people
$2,165 for six people
Due to high demand, my SATURDAY sunset charters only are the full boat (6 person) prices mentioned above, regardless of group size (you group can be up to six passengers). All Sunday through Friday sunset charters start at the minimum of $630, which is the 3 hour rate for four or less people.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: I never force my customers to sail in the rain but if you still do want to sail, I have a cabin and a bimini to take cover under so you’ll remain dry. If you decide not to sail, we can try to reschedule and if we can’t find a date that works, I will give a full refund. I also don’t force people to sail when the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I will call the sail off if there is a strong threat of lightning or winds are in excess of 30 miles per hour. We need to wait until 2 hours prior to the sail to make the final determination on weather so I can interpret accurate radar data.
Q: What is the typical route?
A: For my four hour charters, I sail as close to the Statue of Liberty as permitted, around Governor’s Island via the Buttermilk Channel, up the East River underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge and usually past the Williamsburg Bridge (conditions have to be favorable), back down the East River to round Battery Park, and the finally head up the Hudson River to about the equivalent of the Holland Tunnel. If you have a private charter with me, you can customize the route.
Q: Is there a bathroom aboard?
A: Yes.
Q: What does the charter come with?
A: Bottled waters, sodas, ice, cups, plates, cutlery, napkins, etc. You are more than welcomed to bring food aboard.
Q: Can I bring alcohol?
A: Yes, but I don’t provide alcohol. I have the appropriate bottle openers and nice plastic wine glasses and plastic champagne flutes on board.
Q: Will I get seasick?
A: My sailboat has a full keel which makes her more stable than most boats. However, all boats rock. I suggest that you take a motion sickness pill before boarding the boat if you are afraid of getting seasick as the pill takes time to work.
Q: Do you allow children aboard?
A: Of course! I’ve been sailing since in my mother’s womb so it would be hypocritical of me to not allow children aboard the Genesis! Children under 12 years of age are required to wear a life jacket, which I provide.
Q: Do you have a refrigerator?
A: Yes, but it’s not a full sized refrigerator like you would find in a home. It’s large enough to hold drinks for a charter.
Q: Do you have a stereo?
A: Yes and I have bluetooth speakers as well. I have an auxiliary cord that you can use to plug into the stereo to play music from your phone. You can also bring your charging cord to plug into the stereo’s USB port to keep your phone charged.
Q: Do you have Wi-Fi?
A: No but phones do get reception out on the water.

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.

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!

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.

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.
