The Empire State Clipper is a 160 feet sailboat that can carry up to 144
passengers! This new boat will be a dramatic new feature of the NYC skyline and
New York's ONLY operating Tall Ship, with her masts rising over 135 feet from
her decks...
This historic barquentine-rigged sailing boat is an exact reconstruction of
the City Clipper ships that sailed the coastal lumber trade in the US during the
late 1800's.
As you set sail from the historic South Street Seaport you will enjoy
stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Enjoy sweeping views of the famous Manhattan Skyline and the fortifications of
Grovernors Island and Battery Park at the mouth of the Hudson River.
Depending on the winds and tides, your captain may sail up the Buttermilk
Channel or out towards the Verrazzano Bridge spanning the ocean entrance to NY
harbour.
