Charter a private luxury yacht for a bespoke circumnavigation of Manhattan's glittering skyline, sailing past the Statue of Liberty and under the Brooklyn Bridge on your own schedule.
What to expect
Step aboard a beautifully appointed sailing vessel or motor yacht and glide out into New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty as your first landmark. Your captain narrates the skyline — the Art Deco needles of Midtown, the gleaming new towers of downtown, the historic bridges spanning the East River — as you carve a private wake through the same waters that welcomed immigrants for centuries. Champagne, canapés, and total privacy make this a floating salon with the world's greatest backdrop. As dusk approaches, the buildings begin to illuminate — an utterly magical sequence.
Good to know
Manhattan by Sail departs from North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place, lower Manhattan. Private charters require advance booking — contact them directly for bespoke pricing and availability. Confirm departure and return times carefully against your all-aboard deadline. This pairs superbly as a farewell to the city just before returning to the pier.
