Experience New York City lights like you never have on this sail along the bright and beautiful borough of Manhattan.

Stepping aboard Adirondack, our 80-foot wooden pilot schooner, you will quickly forget the mayhem and noise of Manhattan street life. You'll take in the famous Manhattan skyline as it was meant to be seen — from the water. You will also enjoy views of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Some of the night's beautifully lit highlights will include:

• Chelsea Piers, a famous stretch of docks on the Hudson
• Battery park, a green haven resting on the southern tip of Manhattan
• Ellis Island, the immigrant doorway to America from 1892 to 1954
• The Statue of Liberty, bearing the torch of America's freedom

We will be shutting off our engines and setting sail for as much of the trip as possible.

About

Schooner Adirondack

Classic Harbor Line of Chelsea Piers operates one of the most exceptional resident sail vessels in the New York Harbor: the Schooner Adirondack. It held record finishes in the Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race for 14 consecutive seasons (1994 - 2007). Though it is a light and lively sailing vessel, it is also quite comfortable, with ample deck space and seating for up to 49. It was designed and built by Scarano Boat Building of Albany, NY for taking groups of people on spectacular sightseeing adventures.

Sailing in this schooner is a dream. She moves through the water efficiently and beautifully; we take great pride in sharing her with you.

The Adirondack is operated by Coast Guard-certified captains and extremely friendly and talented crew. Our crew is known for their amazing hospitality, and are 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.
