New York City: Day Sail to Statue of Liberty on America 2.0 – New York City, New York

EXPERIENCE:

Offering a premium sailing experience, the Schooner America 2.0 is the newest, largest, most elegant ship designed for the fleet. Added in 2011, the America 2.0 provides the most exceptional day sailing one can find in New York Harbor.

Her design is influenced by the style of the late 1800s but incorporates technology of the 21st century, thus connecting the past and present beauty, history, and art of sailing in New York Harbor.

A day sail on this 105-foot schooner is perfect for family outings, dates, and entertaining guests from out of town. A sail on America 2.0 is guaranteed to be a memorable experience.

Within 5 minutes of leaving the dock, you’ll forget the mayhem and noise of Manhattan street life as you feel the relaxing breeze of the harbor.

Take in the famous Manhattan skyline as it was meant to be seen — from the water — plus spectacular views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

You’ll experience the following on your 2-hour sail:

• Heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooner will pass by Ellis Island and sail out to the Statue of Liberty
• Wind and time permitting, she will head toward Governors Island, breeze by the Financial District, and sail through the Buttermilk Channel
