Activity Description
Experience New York like you never have on this 2 hour sail aboard the Adirondack & the Imagine, two wooden 80-foot pilot schooners.

Within five minutes of leaving the dock, you'll forget the mayhem and noise of Manhattan street life, and you'll feel the relaxing breeze of New York Harbor.

You'll take in the famous Manhattan skyline as it was meant to be seen, from the water - plus spectacular views of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

You'll experience the following on your 2 hour sail:

  • Heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooners pass by Ellis Island and sail out to the Statue of Liberty.
  • Wind and time permitting, they will head toward Governors Island, breeze by the Financial District and tease her bow under the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River.
  • Complimentary beer, soda, and water 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.

Join us on the Schooners Adirondack & Imagine as we sail the harbors of the most famous island in the world!
