City Lights Sail On America 2.0

Aboard America 2.0 - a modern tribute to the first boat that won the America's Cup in 1851 and see the city and the Statue lit up at night! You will sails past World One, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty whilst enjoying 3 complimentary rounds of beer, wine, Champagne, soda or bottled water.

Board the 105-foot, 1851 revival, Schooner America 2.0 after dusk to view the famous Manhattan skyline. Bring your favorite companion or a group of friends to enjoy the lights as you sip on Champagne in the peaceful night breezes of the harbor. The city lights sail is exquisite for an after-dinner event or to finish any day in the city.
Heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooner will pass by Ellis Island and sail out to the Statue of Liberty. Wind and time permitting, she will head toward Governors Island, breeze by the Financial District and sail through the Buttermilk Channel.
While each sail may differ due to the wind and other conditions, we do try to follow the following route: heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, the schooner passes by Ellis Island and sails out to the Statue of Liberty. The sails occasionally visit the Brooklyn Bridge as well. There are fantastic views of the Financial District and the NYC skyline on the way back to Chelsea Piers.
The Schooner America 2.0 is a steady, gentle vessel. It is very rare for our guests to become seasick. While most people do not experience any sea sickness on the schooner, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. However, we cannot officially advise you to take any medication.
Don't worry, we won't melt! Trips with a little wetness have proven to be some the most memorable bonding experiences for our guests. (This all depends on the attitude of course...) If we are caught in a rain shower we have complimentary ponchos available for all of our guests.
The routes and duration of the trips are the same, and of course, exceptional views of the two sailing options are very similar. The newer America 2.0 is larger (at 105 feet) and her sister ship the Adirondack is 80 feet.
Our sails will end at the same pier from which they departed.
