In all of planet Earth, there is no other skyline quite like that of New York City. Whether by air or by land , the Big Apple’s skyscrapers and landmarks are iconic. But there’s one way of touring NYC that beats out the rest, hands down—by boat.  Whether from the upper deck of a yacht or hunkered down on a speedboat, views from the harbor show NYC at its absolute finest. From the Statue of Liberty to the One World Trade Center, you can take in all the biggest sights without dealing with packed subway cars and endless traffic jams. Below are some of the Big Apple’s biggest and best boat tours.

Don't miss: The stunning panoramas of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.

10.  New York City: Sunset Sail Aboard a Schooner

Sit back and relax as the crew guides this 1800s style sailboat out into the harbor while deep gold light wraps up the city.

In fact, the ride can get so intense that guides recommend wearing wetsuits.

Don't miss : The ride is accompanied by a thumping soundtrack to really kick things into high gear.

12.  NYC: Statue of Liberty Day Sail with Onboard Bar

NYC: Statue of Liberty Day Sail with Onboard Bar

This historic experience will have you feeling like you've just stepped into the heart of  The Great Gatsby— or really any other seafaring period drama. Sail Manhattan has two vessels for this experience—the 1920s restored Shearwater sailing boat, and The Clipper, a majestic tall ship with billowing sails. You’ll sail down the Hudson River on one of these spectacular ships, with the aim of the 1.5-hour sail to give you an awe-inspiring (and crowd-free) view of NYC’s biggest landmark hits. 

Don't miss : The open bar that's slinging drinks all hour long.

Rebuilt and refurbished from the original plans which were borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution, at 158 feet, the Clipper City is an epic venue to host up to 149 guests on a sailing adventure around New York Harbor. Parties and events on our historic tall ships are absolutely breathtaking.

The Shearwater is a graceful Newport-style schooner built in 1929, perfect for groups up to 49 passengers . Have your wedding, birthday, or corporate event on board this classic, Gatsby-era sailing ship as she makes her way to the Statue of Liberty and around Manhattan, taking in the sights and sounds of the harbor. If your party is larger than 49, consider our larger boat, the tall ship Clipper City.

Your Manhattan By Sail Experience Includes

Sailing is about prevailing..

At Manhattan By Sail, we’re your venue… and so much more. Today, aboard the Shearwater  and  Clipper City , we share the joy of sailing our beautiful harbor with visitors and New Yorkers alike. Offering an incomparable setting for your outing, we’ve developed into a world-class venue. On board during our specialty sails, you can enjoy the sweetness of live jazz music , local craft beers , spicy performances from some of NYC’s premier burlesque performers, and much more. But some things have remained the same since the beginning: our passion, commitment, and our caring, enthusiastic crew who sail each day with their whole hearts.

At Manhattan By Sail, we welcome you aboard to share in our joyful culture and to join us in falling in love with NYC, over and over again.

This is an experience I highly recommend and I'll definitely do again with friends. I booked this for a corporate group outing. It was a great summer Friday excursion with the best view of the city and statue of liberty you won't get on land. Drinks, lite bites, and the Hudson. If you're visiting NYC - Add this to your Things to Do list. If you live in the city, do yourself a favor and experience it in a new way. You'll leave feeling happy to live in such a majestic city.

Absolutely brilliant. Booked the shearwater lady liberty cruise through my New York Explorer pass so wasn't sure what to expect. When we got there was greeted by informative staff and the boat is truly beautiful a restored 1920s schooner. When on board the staff are lovely, gave us blankets and ponchos as it was slightly chilly and the odd spot of rain. Pointed things of interest out to us while on board and kept the great selection of drinks flowing. Brilliant, would recommend.

If you’re going to do a boat trip to see the Statue of Liberty why wouldn’t you choose a historic sailing vessel rather than one of the uninspiring motor boats? Being on a sailing ship with the sails up really adds to the experience. The crew are friendly and engaging and will encourage you to get involved in raising the sails, if you want to.

What a perfect way to enjoy the Upper New York Bay. Great company and both my girlfriend and myself were amazed that all the other boats were so over crowded and ours was perfect. Best way to see the bay and Statue of Liberty. No horrid motor sounds nice music played and drinks on hand friendly staff. Trust us go with this company and you won’t regret it. All the other boats had a frantic experience but ours was heavenly.

Both the ship and the crew were awesome! We especially liked the freedom to move around the entire ship from start to finish. Also not having it narrated turned out to be a plus - it was much nicer to just have informal talks with any of the crew members - they were all very nice and very knowledgeable. They engage volunteers to help and my son really had a great time helping to hoist the sail!

This boat was recommended by some friends & they were spot-on. Loved every aspect of the cruise & enjoyed having a chat with one of the crew members. Had a few cold beers on board too. By far the best value of anything we did in New York, which we found a very expensive city.

Despite being in the nearby area for the past three years this was my first time doing a sail around NYC. I bought tickets on a whim to surprise my boyfriend on a romantic excursion and it was honestly so much fun. The day was really cloudy and cold, but they provide blankets, which is convenient for those who didn’t come prepared. We purchased tickets for the cider tasting/sail, the drinks were good and we were also provided food. The staff were friendly and accommodating and we got really amazing views of the city, I was very happy with our experience.

This has to be the best way to have an enjoyable sail past Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. You can take the incredibly cost-effective Staten Island ferry which zooms past or the organized and rammed tourist boats from Battery Park, which aren’t much slower. Only the clipper yacht passes closely in a duration which gives everyone plenty of time to stare in amazement and get all the photos you need. Our next visit will be with these guys on another one of their sailing tours. A must-do.

Excellent, relaxing cruise around the harbor including a great view of the Statue of Liberty! The weather was perfect and it was a fantastic way to end a hectic day of traveling. My daughter and I enjoyed wine as we sat on the deck and let the gentle breeze overtake us!

We've been on the Shearwater Brunch Cruise 3 times, & once on the Clipper City Beer/Lobster Roll Cruise. Excellent quality food & beverages, friendly & professional staff. I prefer sailing on the Shearwater since it's smaller & I like the more "intimate" experience. Can't say enough good things about Manhattan by Sail & I can't wait to go on another sail!

The Clipper City schooner cruise should be on every NYC visitor's list! We four travelers took a leisurely, exciting, and informative sail around the Statue of Liberty and can't wait to do it again. The captain and crew were personable, professional, and took excellent care of their passengers. It's also really easy to find. What a great experience and it was my 16 year old grandson's very favorite activity during our July trip! It's tops in customer service, communication, and it's TOPS on my to-do list for our next NYC trip!

A friend of ours suggested we try this and it did not disappoint! We had taken a ferry trip last time we were in New York and I have to say the sail boat is definitely the way to go! The staff were all so friendly and work SO hard. Views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan were incredible! A really super experience!

Timberlake to push papers in community service plea deal for pop star

Justin Timberlake's cushy community service assignment revealed

Obnoxious youtubers, little privacy and all-you-can-eat lobster – what life is really like on a nine-month world cruise.

People left their homes, quit their jobs and cashed in living inheritances for the adventure of a lifetime.

Around 650 travelers ponied up between $59,999 and $117,599 for a nine-month-long around the world cruise of a lifetime, with stops in more than 150 destinations .

Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise featured amazing sites and custom-made cuisine – including Subway sandwiches and Cincinnati-style chili – for the homesick; but also bouts of nausea, a fire, a flood a couple of rude social media posts and plenty of drama aboard the 962-foot Serenade of the Seas ocean-liner.

Through all 276 days, sources interviewed by The Post had a swimmingly good time.

Cruisers took off in December 2023 and finally docked for good this past week – though not everyone made it home – two customers perished at sea.

Serenade of the Seas cruise ship floating in the ocean

“The average age on this trip was pretty high,” Joe Martucci, 67, who was so proud of his seven-continent voyage he found himself irked by those who hopped on for just a segment but still swanned around in World Cruise tee shirts, told The Post. “So we’re going to have people who died.”

A woman, he remembered, “was with her daughter, son and husband. She stood up from going to the bathroom and just [collapsed].” Her passing lowered the head count by one.

Another passenger, Andrew Kenney, 27, pegged the average age on board as “like in their 70s.”

While plenty of locations were must-sees – Martucci was particularly taken with the Antarctic, of which he said, “The pureness was just amazing” – even the most enviable site-seeing can turn into a grind.

Andrew and Ale Kenney at a Disney theme park

“When we got to Europe, after about five-and-a-half months, it started to feel like a job … leaving the boat at 8:00 in the morning and returning at 5:00,” said Martucci who took the mega voyage, along with his wife Audrey, as a retirement present to himself.

“It was 20 days without a sea day, so every day you were in a port and felt like you had to see what was there.”

Adding to the travel fatigue, some of the stops felt forced. “We’d get off the boat and wonder why we were there,” he said, recalling a less-than-memorable city in Spain. “We were there on a Monday – but Monday is the day when everything is closed.”

A Royal Caribbean spokesperson told The Post they do not comment on specific issues relating to their cruises.

The Martuccis enjoying a cocktail on board

Then there was a delay caused by protestors in Amsterdam – “They chained themselves to a bridge,” said Kenney, “protesting over-tourism and [damage to] the environment” – and a rerouting due to conflicts in the Middle East.

Remaining boat-bound for bum excursions, of course, was an option. But Martucci felt compelled to not miss out on things he had paid for. “You spent the money, you planned on seeing things, so you went. But some ports were disappointing.”

Besides, extended periods of time on the ship did not always feel like a pleasure cruise.

While closing in on the Antarctic, temperatures were too frigid for passengers to spend much time on deck. So most of them gravitated to the Centrum, the central space on the boat.

Wall of souvenir magnets in the room of Andrew and Ale Kenney

“Normally we were spread out in different locations,” Kenney, a professional videographer , told The Post. “But for those days, most of us were in the same place. So, you’d have people wanting to quietly drink morning coffee while other were doing loud Zumba. Then there would be an egg drop competition and guitar music.”

For Kenney, retreating to his cabin was not always an option: “If your room is at the front of the ship, then you are most susceptible to movement from rough seas. We had that room. I got pretty sick at the beginning, and there were a couple days when I walked in the room and I was, like, ‘I have to get out. I can’t stay here.’”

Being jammed up with souvenirs might not have helped. Magnets from various places were stuck to the metal walls, and, according to Andrew’s wife Ale Kenney, 30, “we’re big Disney fans. We hit every park on the trip – Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris. Of course we bought [Disney’s] specialty popcorn containers and souvenirs from the Olympics in France. Then there was the sound-bath equipment from India. It just grows.”

One thing that did not expand was Martucci’s love of lobster. Prior to shoving off, it ranked among his favorite delicacies. “I probably had lobster 20 times on the cruise; it was just too much,” he said, acknowledging that he’s not sure when he will crack crustacean shells again.

The Curacao Cosmo, one of the drinks offered on the cruise

Getting frisky with other passengers might have been an option – upside down pineapples, a cruise symbol to signify a cabin’s occupants are open to swinging, were apparently affixed to some of the doors – but a desire to get soused while aboard only got passengers so far.

“We had a term called ‘getting watered,’” said Andrew. “Basically [when passengers were becoming overly tipsy], the bartenders would stop giving them drinks and start giving them bottles of water. They were very polite with it; and it was not a hard cut off. But we all took care of each other.”

At least most of them did. It was not long into the trip before the public became curious about the super cruise and what went on aboard the boat. While a few dozen of the passengers innocently took to posting on social media – Martucci’s tongue-in-cheek handle: Spendingourkidsmoney – there were at least two who got carried away in the name of bulking up their followings.

Brandee Lake on an excursion from the cruise ship

One, Martucci remembered, tried to take advantage of the on-board deaths. “A social media person dramatized the whole thing,” he said. “She posted that she walked down the hallway and saw [the deceased lady] being taken out of a cabin. That was not true. Her TikTok [about the incident] was taken down.”

That may have been forgivable, but another TikTok rip was not. Despite best watering efforts, one passenger managed to get what Andrew characterized as “very drunk” and made a TikTok post in which he “said a lot of racist things about minorities. I don’t think he had a very good time on the boat after that.”

On the other hand, Brandee Lake , cruising with her sister Shannon and their parents, was unstoppable in her quest for good times. Brandee – who cashed in her living inheritance so she could join the family on Serenade of the Seas – rode a train to the Taj Mahal, got her hair braided in an African beauty parlor, ran with the bulls in Pamplona and took pasta making lessons in Tuscany.

“This trip was a dream come true,” Brandee, who quit her advertising-agency job right before shoving off and gave up her apartment in Los Angeles, told The Post.

“My favorite part is that this was a family trip and that my parents are both in good enough health for it to happen.”

While Lake says she’s game to hop another trip around the world, not everyone feels that same. “Nine months is way too long,” said Martucci, leaving the impression that his days as a deep sea marathoner are over.

That said, however, none of the passengers interviewed by The Post are turned off on cruising as a concept. In fact, they can’t wait to do it again. “As soon as they announced the reunion cruise,” said Kenney, “we booked!”
