Join me on my 30-foot C&C 30 MK 1 sailboat departing from Jersey City, with the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline as your backdrop. This cruiser-racer has spent years sailing Long Island Sound and now offers a unique harbor experience just minutes from Manhattan. On hot summer days in July and August, there's no better way to beat the heat than getting out on the water—within minutes you're cruising past Lower Battery or heading toward the Atlantic, depending on your preference. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a graduation, or just looking for a memorable day on the water, I can help arrange something special for you or a loved one. The Boat: - 30-foot C&C 30 MK 1 cruising sailboat - Holds up to 6 guests comfortably - Equipped with berths, cabins, and a toilet - Sun protection available for comfortable sailing The Experience: - Sail with Captain Tom at the helm - Option for sailing lessons if interested - Depart from Jersey City harbor facing NYC - Choose between harbor waters or open Atlantic depending on time What to Expect: - Relaxed, real sailing experience on a well-maintained boat - Iconic views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan from the water - Flexible arrangements for special occasions and celebrations - A genuine local perspective on the harbor and surrounding waters


I have loved being on the water since the mid-1960s when I first sailed in Newport Beach, California. All my life I've looked for occasions to get on a boat whether my preference (a sailboat) or windsurf or powerboat. I've been sailing out of Western Long Island Sound (roughly 1 hour outside Manhattan) since 2019 and have really loved the mix of the best ocean-type sailing conditions near NYC with glorious views of sunsets and the Manhattan skyline in the background. Recently I sold the boat, but have entered into a partnership with Jonah Brown who owns the boat and who will serve as Crew. We are now based out of Jersey City, right next to the Statue of Liberty. Safety is a priority for us. We offer a combination of hands-on custom-tailored sailing outings and relaxing sun-and-swim events and other possibilities.

Planning for a sailing outing is hard because of the unpredictable behavior of the weather esp in July and August. Typically I book a customer with a range of 1-or-2 days so that we have some flexibility to choose the best date weather-wise before the final choice of sailing time. I like to keep my customers well informed of the weather forecast as we approach a date. The pricing is to book the outing, which usually last for 3-4 yours depending on the weather and the customers' preferences.
