Hey guys
So I took the 12:30 cruise.It was a picture perfect day. I would advise to bring a sweater as it does get windy. Full bar aboard as well.Bud Lights run about $5.50. All the guys on crew were very friendly. The captain you'll recognize immediately as he looks like Santa.No really. If Santa had a summer job, this would be it. There's plenty of seats but during most of the cruise hardly anyone was sitting,most roamed about taking pictures. They play music on the boat too. The bartender/DJ (LOL) played Bob marley which really set the tone I think. It was pretty awesome,even for a jaded native like myself.Would do it again in a heartbeat. No better way to spend a sunny afternoon then sailing,drinking ice cold beer,and listening to some Marley. Might wanna take some dollar bills along as they 'suggest' at the end that you tip the crew for their afforts. That's about it guys.Enjoy!

Was good fun and worth it for the discount price. Wouldn't be worth it if it was full price.

although it was rainy and cool we enjoyed a relaxing sail around New York. The crew was informative and friendly and made it an interactive experience, hoisting the sails. We would return on a sunny dry day.

Nothing will prepare you for the amazing sensation of being NYC’s largest sailing boat in commercial operation today...158' feet long, with masts rising 120` off the deck. Flying over 8,000 square feet of sail and weighing in at over 200 tons, the Clipper City is both the iconic newest addition to the NYC skyline and a stunning reminder of New York’s role in America’s 19th-century rise to prominence in global commerce.

Daytime Sail
Take a step back in time on New York’s only tall ship. From her spacious main deck or raised quarter deck, you’ll enjoy the sailing experience of a lifetime aboard this majestic topsail schooner as we unfurl her canvas and set sail through the harbor.

Twilight Sail
Watch night fall on the city as the sun sets behind the Statue of Liberty from the unbeatable vantage point of the harbor. Order a drink from our full bar as we drop canvas and leave Manhattan behind.
