Seller: SailNYC
(Classic Harbor Line LLC)
Seller Description:
The fastest resident sail vessels in the New York Harbor are the Schooners Adirondack and Imagine. They held the record finishes in the Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race for 14 consecutive seasons (1994 - 2007). Though they are light and lively sailing vessels, they are also quite comfortable, with ample deck space and seating for up to 49. They were built and designed for taking groups of people on spectacular sightsailing adventures by Scarano Boatbuilding of Albany, NY.
They are operated by Coast Guard certified captains and extremely friendly and talented crew.
Sailing these schooners is an absolute honor and a privilege. They move through the water so efficiently and beautifully, we take great pride in sharing them with you. Known for their amazing hospitality, our staff is all professionally trained and experienced on sailing our vessels well and safely. Do not hesitate to ask our crew about the boat or any of the NYC sites.

Activity Description
Join us for a magical evening as you sit with amazement and awe as colorful fireworks soar in the sky of New York City Harbor. Exhale your "ohs and ahs"! And watch as these electric volcanoes burst and fountains of sparkles fade into the open air above you as you glide through their reflections on the water.
Climb aboard one of our beautiful 80-foot schooners, the Adirondack or Imagine, and enjoy this peaceful, picturesque sail away from the concrete and noise of the city.
Some illuminated views along the way will include:
- A gorgeous display of fireworks
- The New York City skyline
- Battery Park, a 20 acre park at the southern tip of Manhattan, where artillery has been stationed over the centuries
- Ellis Island, the immigrant doorway to America from 1892 to 1954
- The Statue of Liberty, a French gift that arrived in New York harbor in 1885 and has come to represent our nation's freedom and ideals
Complimentary champagne, wine, beer and soda will be provided. (One quick note: we will serve a few rounds, but it is not an unlimited booze-cruise. We aim to create an elegant, relaxing, peaceful, and safe experience for all of our guests.)
We will be shutting off our engines and setting sail for as much of the trip as possible.
Climb aboard the Schooners Adirondack or Imagine and experience the city's beauty and elegance under a sparkling sky.
