About
For this charter, we sail close to the Statue of Liberty AND underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. We sail down the Hudson River to see the Statue of Liberty up close. In addition to seeing this glorious landmark up close, sailing to the Statue of Liberty also provides a mesmerizing landscape view of the Manhattan, Jersey City, and Brooklyn skylines, including the Brooklyn Bridge. We then sail around Battery Park (the southern tip of Manhattan) and up the East River so we can pass underneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
An afternoon charter is usually the warmest and provides the most wind to sail.
