What you'll do: Step aboard a private sailboat charter and glide through New York Harbor as the Manhattan skyline lights up around you.

• Set Sail From the Harbor – Board your private sailboat with up to six guests and head out for a two-hour private sail on New York Harbor.

• Pass the Statue of Liberty – Watch Lady Liberty come into view as you cruise by Ellis Island.

• Cross Under the Brooklyn Bridge – Take in the bridge's cables and skyline framing as your captain guides the route.

• Sail Past Governors Island – See the island's shoreline and Lower Manhattan's skyline from the water.

• Set Your Own Soundtrack – Connect your phone to the onboard Bluetooth speaker and play what fits your group's mood.

No lines, no rush, and no one else's itinerary — just you, your people, and the NYC skyline in front of you.

Why we love it for your party:

• Private Sailboat Charter – A dedicated boat for your group only, so nobody else's schedule shapes your night.

• Two-Hour Private Sail for Six – Enough time to relax on the water without the trip feeling rushed.

• Bluetooth Sound System – Bring your own playlist and set the tone for the sail.

• BYO Drinks & Snacks – Bring what your group likes; the boat comes stocked with a cooler, ice, and cups.

• Blankets & Onboard Restroom – Stay comfortable through the ride with easy access to a restroom.
