One of America's largest sailing boats still in commercial operation today

Do you really think that you know New York City? Unless you've seen it from the Hudson or East River by sail, think again. Get ready to hoist your main, set your sails and point your imagination toward the horizon and get riverbound with Manhattan by Sail (formerly Shearwater Sailing) to experience New York City from a whole new perspective.

Our fleet of classic historic schooners are changing the landscape of the Manhattan skyline. Shearwater, the first schooner in our fleet, is a casually classic 48-passenger vessel who made her debut in New York harbor almost 80 years ago. Having just received her national landmark status, she is the "wise woman" of the harbor

Her sister, the Clipper City, one of America's largest operating tall ships, is the newest addition to our fleet and to New York Harbor. From water to sky she is 120' high and from stern to bow she's 158' of grace, spectacle, style and personality.

Once aboard let Clipper City be your guide to breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan skyline and other gems of the harbor. Breathe in the unexpectedly salty air and bask in the sunshine while being entertained by a chorus of seagulls, foghorns and a random egret in flight only blocks away from the hustle of Wall Street and the bustle of Times Square.

Our 6-passenger sloop-rigged sailboats are an intimate way to cruise the Hudson in total privacy.
