Watch the Manhattan Skyline drift by as you sail aboard the beautiful Schooner Adirondack or Adirondack III. Departing from Chelsea Piers on the Hudson River, this beautiful two hour sail in New York Harbor will treat you to a sightseeing adventure. 

The adventure begins when you board the 80-foot wooden replica of a classic turn of the century Pilot Schooner. You will be greeted by the friendly Captain and Crew, and once everyone has found their seats, the Captain will navigate the boat south down the Hudson to Battery Park providing you with amazing views of Manhattan. During your sail, you will pass by Ellis Island as you make your way to the Statue of Liberty. Wind and time permitting, you will also sail towards Governors Island and breeze by the Financial District as the Schooner teases her bow under the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River before heading back up the Hudson River.

Whether you are a native New Yorker, or this is your first visit to the Big Apple, this Five-Star rated sightseeing sail on the Hudson River and East Rivers is one of the best things to do in New York and makes an excellent unique gift for any occasion!
