Private Yacht Charters

A perfect out-and-back sail that gives you a taste of everything. On a typical two hour charter, you can sail past the Statue of Liberty, or cruise around Governor's Island, up the East River and under the Brooklyn Bridge. Or you can sail up the Hudson River for close-up views of Manhattan's dazzling downtown skyline.

Our three hour sail is our most popular. It affords enough time see all the sights of New York Harbor at a leisurely pace—you are on a sailboat after all! See the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governor's Island, and Brooklyn Bridge in the harbor, or sail north to the quieter, verdant Upper West Side in Manhattan. A three hour cruise also allows you enough time for a full meal aboard, plated and served by our attentive and friendly crew.

Charter Options

Most of our private sailboat charters are 2, 3, or 4 hours long, and can be scheduled at any time of day or night.

Once you leave the dock, the boat is yours – you may direct your captain to sail where you please.*

Sail north up the river to get an up-close view of the iconic Manhattan skyline, while sailing south into the harbor immerses you in beautiful vistas and historic landmarks.

* While we do our best to provide an authentic sailing experience, we are at the mercy of mother nature. If wind conditions do not cooperate, our modern sailing yacht features a quiet inboard motor that can be used to reach your destination in most circumstances. Final cruising itinerary remains at the sole discretion of the captain at the time of sail.

What Our Customers Say

Our Charter last night was an absolute DREAM! In addition to being expert sailors, Jonathan and Kyle were consummate hosts - they pleasantly refilled drinks, played great tunes, and made sure everyone was having a nice time. It was a very relaxed 2 hours, and they occasionally "interrupted" conversation (in quotes because it was welcome) to point out particularly beautiful views, special features, and fun architectural highlights. We can't wait to get out on the water again!

We chartered a sailboat from Atlantic Yachting to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday and we had a fantastic time. Logan (the captain) was the best. Really interesting and fun to spend a couple hours with. We sailed down the Hudson and back - a 2 hour trip. It was a little cold so we were given blankets to cozy up in. We brought lunch and everything was served to us. It felt so special. We would definitely take a trip with Atlantic Yachting and have already told lots of friends!! Thanks AY for making the day so special for us!!

The best birthday present of all time! The crew was very friendly and welcoming. They gave us the choice between sailing and using the motor. Sailing without the motor was extremely peaceful. I will definitely use Atlantic Yachting for any future sailing trips and lessons!

It was an awesome experience. Logan, Dave and Thomas were extremely professional and made the experience memorable for our family.

Incredible experience. We had a group of 6 in NYC for the weekend. This sail was especially important to us because I was proposing to my girlfriend mid-sail. Throughout all emails leading up, they were very responsive and helpful. Day of operations were also extremely smooth. We showed up with lots of beverages and food and the crew did a great job of plating, pouring and taking care of us. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Great experience! We booked this trip to celebrate a birthday and the whole thing was absolutely amazing! It is a really clean and lovely boat and the experience is super classy! We did a night sail which was such a great way to see the city. The service was great and our captain knew all the sites to point out along the way. It was really just so great, we plan to do it again next summer!

I recently took the ASA 101 lesson with Jonathan at Atlantic Yachting and it was a fantastic experience. Jonathan is a very patient and thorough instructor. He explained every concept clearly and concisely, gave useful guidance and demonstrations on the boat, and made sure everyone had enough time and opportunities to learn and practice the key skills required by the certification. Highly recommended!
