Unlike shared tour boats or large party vessels, Go Sailing NYC operates on a strictly private basis — the entire sailboat is reserved exclusively for each group. Routes are fully customizable, with sailing past the Statue of Liberty, beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and along the Manhattan skyline among the most popular options.
The Vessel
The 40-foot Beneteau sailboat is equipped for both comfort and celebration. Amenities include a shaded outdoor cockpit with lounge seating for six, a bow sun pad with panoramic harbor views, a wood-paneled indoor cabin with table seating for six, a private bathroom, a full kitchenette, and a Bluetooth sound system. The layout offers three distinct areas for guests to relax, dine, and take in the scenery.
Occasions Served
Go Sailing NYC specializes in private charters for a wide range of occasions: engagement proposals and romantic boat rides, birthday celebrations, bachelorette and bachelor parties, sunset sails, anniversary cruises, corporate client entertainment, executive team offsites, private sightseeing and tourism, professional photoshoots and film productions, and memorial ash scattering services. Charters are available seven days a week, with morning, afternoon, and sunset departure times.
Premium Services
Catering and beverage packages are available, including champagne service, brunch menus, lunch menus, charcuterie and appetizer boards, open bar packages, and celebration cakes. Decoration packages for proposals, romantic occasions, and birthdays can be added to any charter. Professional photographer coordination is available for engagements and proposals.
The Captain
Every charter is led by a USCG-licensed captain with over 30 years of experience navigating New York Harbor. Background-checked and fully insured, the captain manages all navigation and onboard safety, allowing guests to focus entirely on the experience.

Departing from 59 Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011 — centrally located in Manhattan and easily accessible by car, taxi, rideshare, and subway.
