The Adirondack carries about 2,000 square feet of sail, and on this two-hour evening trip the crew shuts off the engines and lets the wind take you past One World Trade Center, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty as the sun drops behind New Jersey. It is quiet, unhurried and a classic date-night move. If you want to see the harbor at golden hour from a real sailboat, sail over the long weekend.
What to expect
Board at Pier 62 and sail south along the Hudson toward the harbor, with each party assigned its own zone on deck. Drinks are available on board, and the return trip brings the lit-up skyline.
Good to know
- Eat before or after; the sail does not serve meals
- One beer, wine, Champagne or soft drink is included
- Bring a jacket, since evenings on the harbor get cold in the fall
- Every party gets a designated zone on board
- Board at Chelsea Piers, Pier 62, at West 22nd Street and the Hudson
- A popular pick for date nights and out-of-town guests
