Sailing NYC aboard 34' Catalina
Ian provided us with a fantastic sailing experience for our wedding anniversary. It was absolutely lovely—truly beyond our expectations. His communication and instructions were clear and outstanding from start to finish. On the day of our sail, Ian even reached out to offer an earlier time slot when one became available, which we appreciated. The boat was perfect, and we had an unforgettable time on the water. Thank you, Ian, for making our special day even more memorable!

NYC’s #1 Luxury Yacht. See NYC like never before! NO HIDDEN FEES!
Italo and Mariann were incredible hosts! Prior to departure, they were very responsive and communicative when I had questions. They easily accommodated my request for certain gluten free mixers due to one of the guests having a celiac allergy. We had a phenomenal night sailing on the Hudson while taking in the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline. The boat has a great party space with a fire table on the top deck and nice lounge area downstairs. Mariann and Italo were very attentive throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely book again!

Captain Andy is one of the best hosts and extremely skilled at what he does. I was planning a proposal for my girlfriend and he went above in beyond in helping us out. He gets back quickly regarding any queries and makes sure you have a memorable experience. I have nothing but good this to say about our experience. Definitely recommend Captain Andy if you are looking for a good time on a sail boat.

Wonderful experience with my 2 daughters! They jammed out to their favorite music while enjoying the sights and were given a chance to steer the boat! Ian was attentive and amiable throughout the booking and sailing experience.

Ian and Kim were fantastic hosts, captain and first mate! We used Ian’s vessel for a music video shoot, and not only were they helpful and accommodating, but happy to have us aboard and a part of our production. I highly recommend booking with Ian for a similar situation or if you just wanted a fun outing with some good friends!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you rent a boat in NJ without a license?
