Seller: SailNYC
(Classic Harbor Line LLC)
Seller Description:
Classic Harbor Line LLC of NYC, located at Chelsea Piers, currently operates three fabulous, classic vessels that run tours & excursions in the NY Harbor: the 1890's style pilot schooner, "Adirondack", the pilot schooner, "Imagine", and the 1920's-style luxury yacht, "Manhattan."
The Adirondack & Imagine are 78-ft sailboats. Pilot schooners patrolled the major New England Harbors of the 19th century, waiting for tall ships coming into port. Upon their arrival, the pilot schooner would sail up to meet them and deposit a "pilot" aboard these ships. The pilot would then assist in navigating the ship to safe harbor.
The Adirondack & Imagine are the fastest resident passenger sailing vessels in the New York Harbor. They are comfortable with ample deck space and were built and designed for taking groups of up to 49 on spectacular sight-sailing adventures. They are operated by US Coast Guard Certified Captains and extremely friendly and talented crew.
