The Best Sailboat Rentals in New York

Sail NYC's skyline aboard the Genesis, a beautiful classic sailboat!

We are still talking about our time aboard The Genesis! Eric was so welcoming to our family, ages 2 - 70! A true sailor, Eric took us on a two-hour sail from Chelsea Piers to the Statue of Liberty. He shared his endless knowledge about NYC as we passed spots of interest on the shoreline. Eric was super kind and patient with our 5-year-old grandson, allowing him to steer the boat. That experience was priceless. The Genesis is a wonderful sailboat that has been lovingly and meticulously cared for. Thank you, Eric, for helping us celebrate Nick's 70th birthday. It was perfect!

Affordable Yacht 27' Doral in Toronto

Had an amazing experience on the yacht — but honestly, the real highlight was the captain. Super friendly, very patient, and knew exactly where to go for the best views and photos. Even when we were running late, he didn’t rush us at all and made sure we still got the full experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving people a good time, not just finishing the trip. If you’re booking this, you’re in safe hands. Highly recommend.

We celebrated our 10th anniversary on Faith and couldn’t be happier. Captain Ian personalized the journey for us and guided us along the way. He was exuberant, caring, and checked in with us to make sure we were having a great time. He asked if we wanted to learn sailing and taught us a few things, which was so cool and unexpected. We are excited to sail again to learn more and see the beautiful sites NYC has offer!

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!
