About

Schooner America 2.0

Past meets present when sailing aboard the elegant and swift Schooner America 2.0. America 2.0 is designed after the famous Schooner America that was built in 1851 in New York harbor. That same year, America won the international race that is now known as the America's Cup, thus showcasing American skill in building fast, elegant, and efficient ships.

Fast forward to 2011 and Scarano Boat Building in Albany, NY takes classic American values of craftsmanship and efficient design and adds in 21st century concepts--modern materials and eco-friendly propulsion-- and creates the most prestigious state-of-the-art ship of our time, America 2.0.

Sailing on the Schooner America 2.0 is a privilege. She moves through the water effortlessly and beautifully, and we take great pride in sharing her with you. Our staff is known for their amazing hospitality, and are all professionally trained and experienced on sailing our vessels well and safely. Do not hesitate to ask our crew about the boat or any of the NYC sites.
