For this charter, there are many options. Most people prefer to sail to the Statue of Liberty, around Governors Island via the Buttermilk Channel, underneath the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and then around Battery Park before reentering the Hudson River. Essentially, it’s the three-hour charter plus the circumnavigation of Governors Island (and more time under sail). Another option is to sail to the Statue of Liberty and then explore the East River more by sailing underneath the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges.
Repeat customers of mine also enjoy different routes, such as sailing as far south towards the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge as the wind and currents allow (we usually get close to this bridge but not under it) or sailing up the Hudson River, slightly past the George Washington Bridge.
A morning charter usually provides calm conditions as there is typically less wind and less boat traffic.
