See New York Like Never Before!
Toss out your old images you have of New York Harbor, the Hudson River, or the Brooklyn Waterfront. Sailing in these waters, whether on a warm mid-summer day, or a glorious sunset cruise, is one life's great pleasures. Perfect for any special occasion.
Boat Rental
Hudson River Cruise
NY Harbor Cruise
Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Open Harbor, Governor’s Island, The Brooklyn Shoreline, the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the Gleaming Towers of Lower Manhattan, the New Jersey Palisades and Mid-Town Manhattan as seen from the historic Hudson River. It’s all waiting for you.
Private Sunset Cruise
Sunset Sail NYC
My favorite time to sail. A great thing about sunsets is that no two are the same. You will have to make some difficult decisions, however. Where do you want to be at maximum color explosion? Enjoying the Statue of Liberty’s stately silhouette against the flaming sky? Heading straight towards the golden Towers of Manhattan? Sailing up the Hudson with the entire Skyline ablaze with the setting sun’s reflection? And most critical of all, what beverage will you be enjoying as you lounge in comfortable seats on the deck taking it all in?
Birthday Cruise
Boat Birthday Party Cruise
The birthday boy or girl will never forget this one. Do I really have to ask you if you think this experience would be head and shoulders better than sitting around the dining room table or in a crowded restaurant? A warning, don’t get frustrated if the warm harbor breeze blows out the candles a little prematurely.
Romantic Cruise
Wedding Proposal & Anniversary
Wedding proposals and anniversaries are a specialty of ours. The precise execution of this special experience will be carefully planned. We strive to make each moment special. Can we smuggle the cake and/or champagne aboard ahead of time? We coordinate the timing of the proposal. Where will the boat be positioned from a view perspective? What music will be playing? Will the sun be setting? The champagne bucket will be delivered at the proper moment. Photography will capture the key moments (Let us know if professional photography is desired).
Party Cruise
Family, Friend & Co-Worker Get-Togethers
For the price of a group dinner at a Manhattan restaurant, you could be experiencing New York from a spectacular perspective. Relax on the deck on comfortable seats or dine in the cockpit on a teak table while the skyline slips by you.
Photo Shoot Cruise
Yacht Rental For Photo Shoot
Bring your own photographer, or I can coordinate. Anyone can get a decent photo on a Manhattan or Brooklyn street. Visual memories from the water will be those you cherish for life. Professional photo shoots are supported, of course, a no-brainer.
July 4th
Fireworks Extravaganza
The absolute best seat in the house for the Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular. The evening starts with a sail out to the Statue of Liberty to kick off the party (photos, etc.). Before sunset we sail across the harbor and up the East River to the staging area where we’ll set up for the show. The fireworks are launched from barges virtually right in front of us (at a safe distance of course). No one on land has a better view (viewers on high rise balconies right on the river might argue
). The evening concludes with an exciting sail down the East River and across the harbor with hundreds of boats, all enjoying the nightly magic of the city.

Water Music is a semi-custom, beautifully maintained classic sailing yacht built by Passport Yachts of Annapolis.
Designed by the legendary Bob Perry, she is the last Passport 40 built in this popular line. This is clearly reflected in the modern deck design. Water Music is sleek, spacious, and comfortable. She is a joy to sail; stable and elegant as she moves through the water.

Value
There are 6 passenger yacht rentals that advertise a lower price. Read carefully. They will likely sail for 2 hours or less. I feel strongly that 3 hours is the ideal length to fully enjoy the sights, and enjoy quality sailing time. In addition, factor in the yacht quality and personalized service. You will not be disappointed!
