Our goal is to introduce an unparalleled level of both yacht and service at an affordable price point. There are cheaper boats but none matches our exquiste level of service, attention to detail and beautifully restored classic yacht. Compared to cruisers of the 90s-present, our stylishly restored 1970 classic Columbia yacht has character, charm, and pizzazz. An absolutely huge cockpit (due to its ocean racing pedigree), tastefully wrapped in varnished wood and accented with polished stainless steel. Plush cushions on varnished slat benches. Wide walkways and a huge uncluttered foredeck allow everyone space to spread out. There’s simply more room to enjoy your adventure. We really sail. Whenever wind conditions and safety permit, we turn off the motor and sail. If you have never experienced it before, it’s breathtaking. Silence and the feeling of the yacht surging powerfully forward with each knot of wind is truly unique. We also answer questions and teach to anyone interested. Location, location, locations. One15 Marina at Brooklyn Bridge Park is our Primary pickup location. We can also pick up from the West side of Manhattan and Jersey City. (additional dock fees apply for Tribeca in Manhattan and Jersey City.) Local Small Business. We are a Dad–Daughter team, a local small business. We spent years rebuilding the boat ourselves, and are proud of the level of effort, attention to detail, and care we put into every charter. – Your own private yacht. – Choose your route. – White glove, high-end level of service. – USGC Licensed Captain and a 1st Mate. – True motor-off sailing whenever it’s safe and there's wind – Your personal choice of music. - The best sound system of any sailboat on the harbor. – Food plating and serving. – Bottle opening & pouring service. – Free Bottled water – Free awesome photos by our crew. – Maximum 6 guests, USCG compliant – Excellent 5 star reviews across all platforms

Ian is absolutely wonderful. I wanted to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was a rainy weekend, and Ian was SUPER FLEXIBLE in booking around good weather, like he truly and genuinely cared about us having a good experience. Great human!!!

Ian did a great job with our trip. He was able to show us all around nyc and even though we were running close to the sunset, he was able to get us out on the water in time to watch. The boat ride was smooth, he was very accomodating. It was fun chatting with him and he came prepared with blankets, jackets, water if needed. The boat trip itself was smooth with no issues. Would definitely book again, if needed and highly recommend!

Ian is the best Captian you could ever meet on getmyboat.com. He is an excellent sailor, guide and photographer. He showed his kindness and caution during our trip and tried his best to ensure we have a good time. Compared with my previous boat cruising experience on getmyboat, spending time on his boat is one of the best experiences.

What an amazing captain & crew. So attentive, professional, and most of all FUN! They even left my doggie on board. Such a good time and I’ve already recommended to my friends. We were right between the fireworks and had a spectacular night for the 4th. Will do again! Thank you Ian :)
Would jump at the chance to book with Ian again! He made such a memorable trip and was so on top of things, including our safety when a storm rolled in! A true professional and anyone considering his boat should put him at the top of your list for a good time! Just nailed it.
