Description:

Sail among the giants of New York City Harbor as you enjoy fine wines and a wide assortment of delicious cheeses and charcuterie. Your tour aboard the classic Shearwater yacht includes up-close views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governors Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Cast off from lower Manhattan’s North Cove in your elegant wooden schooner and let your experienced captain guide you into the calm waters of the mighty Hudson River. Within minutes of departing, you can see the distant silhouette of Lady Liberty. Head toward her as attentive staff begin uncorking a selection of vintages curated specifically for your voyage by expert sommeliers. Each week features a different theme, whether it’s mulled wine in the fall or a celebration of European styles in the summer.

Once you’re well underway, tuck into a variety of cheeses and cured meats chosen by acclaimed local shop Stinky Brooklyn. Cruise past Ellis Island and come about for a closer look at Governor’s Island, fringed with hickory and oak trees.

As the sun starts to ebb in the evening sky, turn to the west and catch a glimpse of the Brooklyn Bridge as its lights sparkle to life. Glass in hand, watch the colors of the water change from navy blue to dark gunmetal as the surf splashes against the hull. With the dazzling skyline of Manhattan to your right, steer a course back toward the marina and wait for the gentle bump of the bow slipping into its moorage to let you know you’ve returned.
