    David was a terrific captain, he shared wonderful local knowledge. Took us right up to the Statue of Liberty, then around Governor's Island. Great trip, gained a ton of local knowledge from David.

    David was very communicative while booking and prior to the sail.

    We had great wind during our sail so my group opted to sail the entire time and had an absolute blast and felt very safe! David sailed us all around the tip of the island—from the Statue of Liberty to buttermilk channel. We enjoyed his humor and his great knowledge of city & its sights. Would highly recommend for a group just looking for a fun sail or even groups with sailing knowledge or experience like ours. David caters to whatever experience you are looking for!

    The Tara is beautiful and unique. Quite a bit of fun. Terrific for small groups. Captain Dave knows the boat and the waters very well , and is pretty gifted at finding a wind to sail on when everyone else appears becalmed. Great experience.

    David contacted me very quickly after I had email him. He is very attentive and friendly. His boat "TARA" is cozy and comfortable we had a very memorable sailing afternoon along lower Manhattan. The accommodations were great for our family. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in a sailing tour in NYC.

    My family is still talking about our "Black Friday" 2015 sailing excursion while they were visiting NYC for the holidays. Captain David was skilled not only at sailing, but offered us very interesting stories and history as we sailed the Hudson and East River. So fun. Also, the Hinckley boat was simply spectacular! Every aspect of our day was "ship-shape" start to finish! Glorious experience!

Location and Destination Guide

Sailing NYC on a Sailo Boat Rental

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.

The location of this boat is located at North Cove Marina at 225 Liberty Street. On the corner of Liberty and South End Ave you will find a ramp leading down to the marina behind a security barrier. You are in the right location when you see three large flag poles at the bottom of the ramp.

Question:

What happens if there is bad weather?

Answer:

Unless extremely adverse weather conditions prevent us from leaving the dock for safety reasons, we will sail in the rain, heat, cold, humidity, etc. It is obvious that your captain will not take you out if conditions are dangerous. That being said, please keep in mind that a few clouds, or a slight chance of rain will likely not be grounds for cancellation or rescheduling. On the day of your sail, if you have any questions regarding the weather, please do not hesitate to contact the captain.
