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.

Activity Description
Experience New York City lights like you never have on this sail past the bright and beautiful borough of Manhattan.

Climbing aboard Adirondack or Imagine, our 80-foot wooden pilot schooners, you will quickly forget the mayhem and noise of Manhattan street life as the colors before you paint a picture of the most famous city in the world. You'll take in the famous Manhattan skyline as it was meant to be seen -- from the water. You will also enjoy spectacular views of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Some of the night's beautifully lit highlights will include:

  • Chelsea Piers, a famous stretch of docks on the Hudson
  • Battery park, a green haven resting on the southern tip of Manhattan
  • Ellis Island, the immigrant doorway to America from 1892 to 1954
  • The Statue of Liberty, bearing the torch of America's freedom
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 our schooners and experience the splendor of New York City's nighttime skyline .
