Itinerary
We will get as close as possible to the Statue of Liberty for one of the best photo opportunities and view on the Harbor. Your captain has all the knowledge about her history from construction to the beautiful statue you see today.
We will pass by the Brooklyn Bridge for a great photo opportunity. Your captain will give the history of the bridge including how it got its name. It is not as easy as it seems.
You will experience the view of Lower Manhattan from the water. A view you will never forget. We will explain the architecture and history of the buildings including some unique stories on construction.
Viewed from the water and your captain has wonderful commentary. We will explain the history of the architecture and the path immigrants took to get to America. The island is full of rich historical information that we will pass along. For example, no that is not graffiti on the building, we will explain as we glide by.
As we sail past the island we will explain the history and fun things to do! What is that round building? How did it get its name? What is that gray octagon building? Do people live there? So many questions and we have the answer. Governor’s island is a great place to visit for so many reasons.

We did the 2-hour private sail experience with Captain Dave. His directions to find the boat were impeccable, and I don't know how anyone could get lost. Not far from the 911 Memorial, the marina was very easy to find and had great views of the Jersey shoreline. Captain Dave is a native to the area, so he knows virtually everything about this area. He pointed out landmarks and took us right up to the Statue of Liberty while telling us about Ellis Island and the other buildings in that area. The views from the boat were astounding, especially of the Manhattan skyline. Dave was really friendly and we had a great time laughing and taking photos with him. My sister and I had the BEST time on his sailboat, Tara, and we will definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend!
Fantastic experience, great captain and a beautiful boat. A terrific way to see the manhattan skyline and do a little sailing
Very nice view of the Statue of Liberty, Excellent attention from the guide, I highly recommend it!
Perfectly relaxing, informative, and exciting cruise. I would highly recommend! It was exactly what we were looking for!
We had an amazing trip -- incredible night time views of the NY skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and more. Captain Clark is very capable, professional and welcoming and made us feel safe. Definitely recommend!
One of the most beautiful experience in NY. You will see NY skyline from the bests point of view with an amazing host who will describe the view. David is one of the best person you can meet, friendly and professional. Must To Do.
We have sailed with Tribeca Sailing and Captain David on more than one occasion. But this was our first time sailing with Captain Clark. Great time showing us some new sights! Thank you, Clark! The Tara is beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect size boat for a day on the water. It’s such a great way to see NYC from another perspective. The city truly does sparkle at night! We will most definitely sail with them again !
Wonderful boat but the driver deserves a note of merit for his kindness, hospitality and sympathy. A unique experience, you dive into the waters of the Hudson river and are transported between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Wow
Captain Matt took us out on a picture -perfect morning. He adeptly handled everything to give us a great ride through some gusty winds. I will definitely come back again and recommend it highly to friends and family.
What a glorious birthday I had sailing on the Hudson with family and Captain Dave of Tribeca Sailing! The NY and NJ harbor and skyline views were magnificent, and the sail for 6 family members aged from 9 to 78 was safe, relaxed, informative and uplifting, thanks in great part to our accomplished Captain Dave. Accessing the boat was easy. If you have an hour and a sense of adventure, definitely treat yourself and friends or family with this experience!
