Manhattan By Sail - Shearwater City Lights Sail



"Drift away from the noise aboard the historic Shearwater on the City Lights Tour"

Your cruise begins after the sun dips beneath the horizon and all of the shining lights of the city bring the New York skyline to life.  Just as you leave land behind, the captain cuts the engine and unfurls the sail so that you can enjoy the surprising tranquility of the Hudson River.  Watch as you silently float past the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and feel the fresh breeze blow through your hair while aboard the magnificent Shearwater. Tour includes one complimentary beverage, either a beer, wine, or soft drink.

  • Wet your whistle with the variety of cocktails and soft drinks that are made available to all guests.
  • Enjoy your cruise on the Shearwater, built by hand in the 1920’s.
  • You’ll have some one-of-a-kind opportunities to take pictures of the dazzling New York City skyline at night.
