      Perfect City Escape
      Wow! We just had such a relaxing sail. After all the craziness, this is better than a spa. We went at the end of sunset and sailed into the night. Beautiful views. Totally dreamy. So peaceful out on the water. Love the privacy. Nice to be on your own boat with your friends. Everything about the sailboat is really top of the line. You got to go.

      Loved the Sundeck
      You are in for a treat! Great experience. Sailboat has really nice touches. Loved the sundeck. I could have stayed there all day. Definitely recommend sailing with them. Book through their website because they have lots more options and it's less expensive.

      Great Sailboat Charter Experience
      What a great way to spend a birthday! We rented the yacht for 6 of us. Had a blast! It's probably the best time I've had in the city. Felt like we were at a luxury resort. Beautiful sailboat. Everything is clean and spotless. Great food and drinks. Great service. Amazing views!!! Best way to really see the city. Highly recommend!!

      Well Done & Professional
      We had a great time. There were 6 of us and lots of room. I really liked being at the front of the sailboat. There's a sun lounge with a big cushion. The first mate was very attentive and kept our wine glasses full. The whole experience went so smoothly from start to finish. Very professional. Booking was easy and I could get the captain on the phone without a problem. He made sure we had everything needed before departing and gave us a Google Maps link so we knew exactly where to go even though I've never been to Chelsea Piers before. Great way to relax in the city. Really looking forward to doing this again.

      Native New Yorker Here! Awesome Experience!!!!
      This is an absolute NYC must do. Our group was half New Yorkers and half from elsewhere, and ALL agreed this is one of the coolest experiences we've had in NYC. The sailboat is gorgeous. Views of the Statue of Liberty and the city are amazing. Captain Martin is a great host - very knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun. Crew service is a must-have on a boat. It's not easy to pour wine on a moving boat, and the crew took care of everything for us. Everything was so comfortable. We'll definitely bring more friends on the next trip and ask for the same crew. Thank you Martin, Caleb, and Go Sailing NYC for an amazing experience!

      Birthday Boat Ride
      Such a great night! The perfect little change-up from sidewalk dining. Highly recommend the charcuterie board, probably the best I've ever had. They also have a good selection of champagne, rose, and wines. Loved having the boat all to ourselves. We booked this for my friend's birthday and she said it was the best birthday she's ever had. Captain Martin was amazing, special shout out to him! Highly recommend!!

      Luxury Tour
      Beautiful boat with all these nice touches. There's a sun lounge at the front of the boat. Definite plus. I could have stayed there all day. Bluetooth speakers. We stayed out late and they had cozy blankets when it got a little colder. Even had personal hand towels in the bathroom. I've never experienced a private tour before and it's better than a spa. I felt totally pampered. Definitely doing this again.

      Best night out!!!!
      My husband and I spent the afternoon onboard as part of his 50th birthday celebration. We were so happy to be back in NYC and see the city from the water. Such a different perspective. Captain Martin was so knowledgeable about the city and shared with us so many interesting stories about its architecture and history. We couldn't have had a better experience.

      Best Family Activity
      First time ever my kids put away their phones! Our 2 teenagers (12 and 15 ) LOVED being out on the water. Sailing was such an adventure for them. Can't believe we've never done this before as a family. My husband had a chance to relax and enjoy the views. Captain and crew took such good care of us. Our wine glasses were never empty. Highly recommend!

      Sailboat Is A Secret Jewel of NYC
      Such an amazing sunset cruise of NYC! We're long time New Yorkers and this is by far the best of the NYC boat tours. I've been on boats before but this is the first time I really felt like I got to sail. The sailboat has 2 steering wheels and the captain let us steer the boat. Loved that and sitting up at the front of boat. There's also an outdoor lounge that's really comfortable. Downstairs is spotless. It's a jewel. Great service. We bought a bottle of champagne onboard and our glasses were never empty. Sunset cruise was just as amazing as we expected. The best surprise was coming back. Night sailing with the city lights is amazing! Highly recommend this great little boat company. 5 stars!!!!

      Amazing Sunset Sail
      The world is closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I wanted to do something for my girlfriend within the CDC guidelines. So I decided to I make a reservation with Go Sailing NYC for her birthday and invited our 4 friends! The Captain and first mate were friendly, respectful and made our stay on the boat a memorable one. They made us feel like we were at home. The sights were amazing and the vibes were energetic. I would recommend Go Sailing NYC to everyone!

      BEST Private Boat
      I highly recommend Captain Martin’s boat—it’s very clean and beautiful! He was also very cautious and safe— he even moved up our reservation because of the possibility of a thunderstorm later in the day. Captain Martin and his wife were extremely kind and responsive. I booked super last minute due to a trip cancellation because of COVID. They definitely helped make my boyfriends 30th birthday a memorable experience. I would 100% book again in the future.

      Great For Locals & Tourists
      We took a private sail to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The evening was perfect. It was just the two us with the captain and we had SUCH a nice time. He gave us some fun facts about the sights in the harbor. I live in NYC so it was so nice to see the city from a different perspective. A refreshing way to escape without leaving the city. It's a great idea for both locals and tourists. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

      So Relaxing. 5 Stars
      Relaxing way to see New York City. I loved having our own private sailing party. I've never done this before and it's so much better than a general tour. We left at 7pm and by the time we reached the Statue of Liberty, the sunset was in full bloom. Sailing back at dusk was breathtaking. The skyscrapers and buildings created their own light show. We had 5 in our group and everyone enjoyed. Lovely boat. 5 stars for the great experience.

    My family had a blast on our sailboat charter of NYC. It was a very personal boat tour and made the big city feel so welcoming for my cousins!! They loved talking to the captain about architecture and history. He's an encyclopedia of information about all things NY. This tour was so refreshing. Loved touring without crowds. Loved seeing the Statue of Liberty up close. Loved being out on the water. Will do this again with friends. Thank you for everything we really look forward to sailing with you again !! Much love, Hailey

    I've done a bit of sailing in my time and I was impressed. The boat is very well kept. New York Harbor is North America's busiest harbor so best to go with someone capable. I recommend Captain Martin to everyone. My whole family enjoyed this sailing experience. Kids spent most of the time at the bow riding the waves. My wife enjoyed relaxing in the cockpit. We all enjoyed the views. Great to get out on the water again. Thanks Captain!

    I booked the yacht for my girlfriend's birthday. We walked onboard and they had everything ready. Champagne and great catering spread. Crew brought out the birthday cake at the perfect moment. She was so surprised. Just an all around great experience. Couldn't ask for better views of the city or the Statue of Liberty.

    My boyfriend REALLY wanted to go sailing and see the Statue of Liberty. We booked half day on their website and really got to see the city. And sail. I've never been sailing before and this was thrilling. The perfect day trip. Had wine and lunch onboard -- charcuterie was a full meal by itself. Loved every minute. Sailing is really transformative. I felt like I had visited another world. And it's such an easy city escape. Will definitely do this again.

    Blissful afternoon. Loved every minute of it! Great way to come back to the city after a long time away. This was my first time chartering a private boat and so glad we did. We ordered shrimp cocktail and charcuterie board. Highly recommend! Food is better than a restaurant. I was also surprised how much space there is on board. We were 2 couples and easily could have brought more. Best spot is on the deck cushions at the front of the boat. Amazing views! Can I give them 10 stars?

    What a fun night out! We were at Little Island and saw boats sailing by. Found them docked next door at Chelsea Piers. We got lucky and booked the last sail. Really great to just walk on. You don't have to bring anything with you. They have champagne and wine. Seeing NYC from the water is really special. The lights. The skyline. Best night out!
