    Important details

    • Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, either a passport or US driver's license, matching the credit card used for booking; boarding requires it
    • Access to the dock begins 5 minutes before departure, and the vessel departs about 5 minutes after the scheduled time
    • Maximum 6 passengers are allowed onboard
    • Passengers under 18 require a parent or legal guardian, and ages 13 and under must wear a USCG-approved life jacket
    • Do not bring pets, glass, red wine, hard coolers, smoking or vaping items, open flames, illegal drugs, sharp objects, weapons, or pirate accessories; service animals are permitted
    • Routes and charter timing may change with wind, tide, and weather conditions
    • A credit card processing fee and captain gratuity are not included in the listed price
    • Unsafe alcohol consumption may result in limited alcohol service or an early return to the dock

    FAQs

    Yes. Bring a valid photo ID that matches the credit card used for booking. If you don’t provide a valid matching photo ID, you won’t be able to board.

    Wear flat shoes for walking safely on the floating dock and casual, comfortable clothes appropriate for the weather. Leave fancy footwear at home; in warm weather, the boat is barefoot.

    If rain is possible, the captain monitors the radar and decides about 2 hours before departure whether pockets of rain can be avoided. If not, the captain reschedules your charter.

    Sailing around Manhattan with this crew is one of those experiences that keeps coming up in conversation long after you've left the dock. Captains like Matt, Martin, and Gino have built a real reputation for knowing these waters inside and out, sharing stories about 9/11, Ellis Island, and the history of the boroughs that you simply can't get from a guidebook or a land-based tour. The Statue of Liberty hits differently from the water, and the crew seems to know exactly where to position the boat for the best views and photos. Special occasions are clearly a sweet spot here. Proposals, birthdays, and anniversaries show up repeatedly in reviews, with guests consistently praising how thoughtfully the crew sets things up, from decorated cabin spaces to catering packages. Even when the weather didn't cooperate, guests came away raving, which says a lot about how the crew handles the unexpected. If you're looking for a genuinely memorable way to experience New York City, this one earns its glowing reputation.

    I can’t recommend Go Sailing enough. We had the best 2 hours aboard on our trip to New York with friends. A truly unforgettable experience. The captain Matt and first-mate Jacob were absolutely spectacular: they were friendly, helpful, informative and just lots of fun. We had the champagne package and also got free soft drinks for the children. If anyone reading this is trying to decide whether or not to book, just BOOK IT! It’s the best thing we’ve done on any holiday. Thanks again to the team at Go Sailing for making our holiday so memorable.
