We have a diverse fleet of ships and a corresponding myriad of options for any and all who want to experience the thrill of s ... ailing in the world’s greatest harbor. We offer daily public sails and private charters on two authentic sailing vessels, each departing from scenic downtown Manhattan locations. Step aboard the Shearwater Classic Schooner, an 82-ft. wood-hulled yacht built in 1929. Historically landmarked in 2009 and impeccably kept, the Shearwater is a favorite option for New York residents looking to escape from the grind of the city every now and again. Enjoy specialty sails such as the Champagne Brunch Sail, Wine Tasting Sail and Cocktail Sail or join us every day and evening for our famous Daytime Statue and Sunset Sails. The newest addition to our fleet is the Clipper City, a 158-ft. tall ship that can accommodate up to 150 passengers. From basic public sails to specialty tours, music events, cocktail parties, family programming, custom weddings and private charters, MbS is dedicated bringing you an unforgettable sailing experience. read more
