Set Sail for an Unforgettable Hudson River Experience: Adventure, Education, and Relaxation!
Come Sailing on America’s Environmental Flagship!
Join us for an unforgettable experience aboard Clearwater and explore the beauty of the Hudson River. After raising the mainsail, the time is yours to relax, enjoy the company of fellow passengers, and reconnect with the river. Whether you're admiring the stunning vistas of the Hudson Valley or the New York City skyline, your journey aboard will be one to remember.
Don’t miss the chance to visit our crew at the fish tank to meet some Hudson River critters, or stop by the helm to take a turn on the tiller with the Captain. We also honor the traditional moment of silence, broken by song, as we return to the dock.
Each sail is a journey of discovery—appreciating the beauty of the Hudson River, experiencing Tall Ship sailing, and learning about local environmental concerns.
