Come and join the Clipper City Tall Ship for the sailing experience of a lifetime! A full bar amidships and a raised quarter deck back aft allows for unparalleled views of the city and its harbor as they set sail, drop canvas, cut the engines and ply the harbor like they did more than a century ago.

A replica of the lumber-hauling schooners that drove Americas industry more than a century ago, Clipper City was built in the mid-1980s using plans purchased from the Smithsonian. Designed with her new cargo in mind (i.e. you), her decks are spacious and comfortable, with ample seating.

Few people ever have the chance to sail aboard a tall ship. The newest (and by far the biggest) addition to the fleet, the topsail schooner Clipper City allows you to do just that. An imposing 158-ft. long, with masts and rigging reaching up 120 feet from the deck, New York's largest and most elegant sailing vessel can accommodate up to 150 passengers.

Sailing is an all-weather activity, and the Clipper City leaves the dock rain or shine. Summer thundershowers are part of life in New York and you'll see that braving the elements with it's safe and reliable crew is all part of the fun! As soon as you climb aboard, the crew will tell everything you need to know about the particulars of a sailing vessel.

New York Harbor is one of the most protected waterways in the world, so generally speaking seasickness isn't much of a concern. However, some people are more susceptible to it.
The boats are handicap accessible. Wheelchairs can come right aboard. Dress comfortably and in layers. It is usually cooler out on the water than on shore, especially in the evening.
