The Experience
What your day looks like
Aboard America 2.0 - a modern tribute to the first boat that won the America's Cup in 1851 and see the city and the Statue lit up at night! You will sails past World One, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty whilst enjoying 1 complimentary beer, wine, Champagne or soda. Additional beverages are available for purchase by credit card. Board the 105-foot, 1851 revival, Schooner America 2.0 after dusk to view the famous Manhattan skyline. Bring your favorite companion or a group of friends to enjoy the lights as you sip on Champagne in the peaceful night breezes of the harbor. The city lights sail is exquisite for an after-dinner event or to finish any day in the city. Heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooner will pass by Ellis Island and sail out to the Statue of Liberty. Wind and time permitting, she will head toward Governors Island, breeze by the Financial District and sail through the Buttermilk Channel. While each sail may differ due to the wind and other conditions, we do try to follow the following route: heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooner passes by Ellis Island and sails out to the Statue of Liberty. There are fantastic views of the Financial District and the NYC skyline on the way back to Chelsea Piers. Our sails will end at the same pier from which they departed.
