Clipper City (Sail Boat)

Few people ever have the chance to sail aboard a tall ship. The topsail schooner Clipper City allows you to do just that. An imposing 158-ft. long, with masts and rigging reaching up 135 feet from the water, New York’s largest and most elegant sailing vessel can accommodate up to 150 passengers.

A replica of the lumber-hauling schooners that drove America’s 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, a full bar amidships and a raised quarter deck back aft that allows for unparalleled views of the city and its harbor.

No matter what your personal or group needs, Manhattan by Sail’s full range of private charter packages can be tailored to meet them. From photo shoots to intimate weddings, from corporate outings or engaging team building sails, our diverse fleet and dedicated crews ensure your charter will be an experience you won’t soon forget.
