North River Sailing: Experience NYC Harbor & Statue of Liberty on a Classic Racing Yacht

With Captain

  • Looks Good

    This date is available.

Are you ready to set sail on a one-of-a-kind tour of New York Harbor? We've got an unforgettable adventure waiting for you! Departing from Brooklyn Bridge Park against the breathtaking backdrop of Lower Manhattan, Tantara sails south, past Governors Island and right by the Statue of Liberty! You’ll get up close and personal with Lady Liberty, so make sure you've got your camera ready for some epic shots. For those new to the city, your captain can dish out some interesting facts about iconic landmarks you'll spot from the boat. And for you locals, well, you'll just have a cool guy to hang out with! Whether you take a private sail, or book a seat with other like-minded adventurers, you're sure to have a unique and unforgettable experience. Don't miss the boat - book your spot today! Our boat Tantara was designed and built right here in NYC. She's a true local, crafted by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and constructed at Minneford Yacht Yard on City Island. These guys were basically the rockstars of the sailing world - their next collaboration won the America's Cup. Tantara is a thoroughbred ocean racer - built to tackle anything the ocean could throw at her, she gives a very stable ride and will never meet anything she can't handle. She's also comfortable and spacious, boasting a generous 44 feet of open deck space to lounge and enjoy a relaxing cruise.

Sam has been sailing since he was 12, starting off on the Lake Michigan in Chicago. He went to college in Maine, but he's been in NYC for over a decade now, which makes him an official New Yorker (or so he claims!).   Sam's been a sailing instructor, coached high school and college racing teams, and got his captain's license back in 2015.  Before the pandemic hit, he had a "regular" job, but was still moonlighting as a charter captain. He enjoyed it so much he decided to come back to sailing full time, and started North River Sailing in 2022!   Sam has a 50 Ton USCG Masters License with a Sailing Endorsement, so you can trust that you're in good hands when you're out on the water with him.
