WHY TRUE SAILING

Soiling is our passion and we want to shore it with as many people as possible. We offer 2 to 8 hour private sailing trips for up to 6 passengers around the scenic NewYork City Harbor. We maintain a strong emphasis on sustainability and sail as much as conditions will allow to burn as little fossil fuel as possible.

Choose one of our many unique private charter packages to make your outing one to remember. Soil past the Statue of Liberty, Governor's Island, the Brooklyn Bridge and the sky scrapers of Downtown Manhattan,all within a two-hour charter.

 

Meet your boat

Our 42-foot, American-built Catalina is a fully equipped sailing yacht designed for comfort, performance and safety. The cockpit comfortably seats six passengers for dining or relaxing, complete with surround sound speakers. The foredeck provides plenty of room for laying out and catching some rays. The interior has a large dining table, lounge, kitchen, and a bathroom for our guests. The entire boat is child proofed and surrounded by three-foot high lifelines to keep even the most adventurous little sailors onboard and safe.

Meet our captain

Meet Nate, a captain with 15 years of professional sailing experience. Nate started sailing a sunfish at age 9 with his brother at summer camp and on the Schuykill River in his hometown of Philadelphia. After high school he went to maritime school and started working on an America’s Cup race boat before diving deep into the super-yacht industry, working primarily on large sailboats.

Now he splits his time between the Hamptons, Brooklyn, and the Caribbean. He is a certified ASA instructor and is very passionate about sailing and introducing people to the sport. When he’s not sailing, he enjoys paddle boarding, biking, playing guitar, and riding his motorcycle into the sunset.
