Our sail with Capt Andy was nothing short of wonderful! A great guy that made our day extra special!

I highly recommend chartering Captain Andy's sail boat! Everything in the listing was exactly as described and his boat was perfect for a day on the water. He answered all of our (admittedly dumb) questions about NYC and was super friendly and took plenty of photos of us when asked. I have no complaints and would definitely charter Captain Andy's boat again!

My group and I had an incredible experience with Captain Andy. He was warm, accommodating, and an excellent captain throughout the entire trip. He truly made the day unforgettable for all of us, and we can’t wait to set sail with him again. The sailboat, Nanette Marie, was stunning so comfortable and perfect for capturing beautiful photos.
