Your Boat.
Your Crew. Your Harbor.
Your 3–6 hour private charter departs from Liberty Harbor Marina in Jersey City and takes you through some of the most spectacular waterways on the East Coast. Whether you're celebrating, unwinding, or simply escaping the concrete jungle for an afternoon — we've got you covered.
New York Harbor is bigger than most people realize from the shore. Depending on the wind and the tides, your captain will chart a course through waters that could take you north to the towering span of the George Washington Bridge, east through the Buttermilk Channel along the Brooklyn waterfront, beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, out toward the Verrazano-Narrows at the mouth of the harbor, or alongside the dramatic basalt cliffs of the Palisades on the Jersey shore. No two charters sail the exact same course — the harbor decides, and the harbor never disappoints.
Liberty Harbor Marina sits just a 15-minute sail from the Statue of Liberty. She's been standing right there for 140 years — turns out she was just waiting for the right marina to open up nearby.
Where We Go
She hasn't sat down in 140 years — the least you can do is sail out and appreciate the effort. Your charter takes you right past Lady Liberty with no ferry, no tour group, and no one breathing down your neck. You can wave. She won't wave back. She's holding a torch.
Cross the Hudson for unobstructed views of Midtown and Lower Manhattan that no rooftop bar can match. This is the angle they put on postcards — and you'll be watching it from the deck of a 40-foot ocean cruiser.
Sail north up the Hudson and the GWB fills the horizon like something out of a dream — two decks, fourteen lanes, and a scale that simply doesn't register until you're looking up at it from the water. On a clear day the view stretches for miles in every direction.
⏱ Extended cruise — plan for 4–6 hours on the water.
The sheer basalt cliffs lining the western bank of the Hudson are one of the most dramatic geological features on the East Coast, and almost nobody sees them from the water. Rising up to 500 feet straight out of the river, they've been standing since the Triassic and have zero plans to move. Sailing alongside them at the base puts the whole harbor in a completely different perspective.
⏱ Extended cruise — plan for 4–6 hours on the water. May include some motoring depending on wind and tide conditions.
The narrow stretch of water running between Governors Island and the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn is one of those places that makes you feel like you've found a secret passage through the city. Sheltered, scenic, and a little off the tourist map — it's the kind of spot a 40-foot sailboat was made for.
People walk across it every day and barely look up. From the water it's a different story entirely. Sail under the Brooklyn Bridge and you're looking up at 140 years of granite, steel cable, and gothic arches framing a perfect slice of Lower Manhattan sky. One of the great views in the world, full stop.
Sail south toward the Verrazano and you feel the harbor open up around you — Lower Bay ahead, the Atlantic beyond, and one of the longest suspension bridges in the world stretched across the narrows overhead. It's the edge of New York Harbor in the best possible sense: the city behind you, the ocean in front, and a very good reason to turn around and do it all again.
Life Aboard
On deck, you'll find cushioned seating and bean bags to kick back in comfort — whether you're watching the skyline drift past or soaking up the sun between tacks.
