Quick Details
Enjoy a Customized Private Charter!
The original Clipper City was built as a cargo schooner just prior to the Civil War. Rebuilt and refurbished from the original plans which were borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution, at 158 feet, the Clipper City is a unique way to host up to 149 guests on a sailing adventure around New York Harbor. (If your party is smaller than 49, you may wish to consider our smaller sailing ship, the Shearwater.) Parties and events on the 105-foot-tall, historic tall ship are absolutely breathtaking, under the unfurled sails. The sweeping deck and full bar make for welcoming and comfortable gatherings, as you and your guests sail the harbor, out to the Statue of Liberty and beyond, enjoying a wide range of beverages and catering options. Curated private charters available from $8,000 on Clipper City and $4,000 on the Shearwater.
