Sail Sunset is a New York-based charter business offering private sailing experiences on the Hudson and in New York Harbor. The company operates two primary trip options — a Two Hour Charter and a Three Hour Charter — each designed for private groups of up to six guests. Both charters include close views of lower Manhattan and a near approach to the Statue of Liberty. The Two Hour Charter provides a concise, customizable sailing option suited to quick escapes, short sightseeing, and casual gatherings. Guests may bring their own food and drinks on board, allowing for a personalized picnic or light refreshments during the outing. The Three Hour Charter extends time on the water and is well suited to celebrations or sunset sails while maintaining the same private, up-to-six-guest capacity. Trip summaries for Sail Sunset list duration, guest limits, and the option to bring personal provisions. Specific departure points, booking details, and availability are published on The Adventure Collective profile for the business. Sail Sunset serves both visitors and local residents seeking a private, small-group sailing experience in New York Harbor, with clear charter options to match different plans and occasions.
