When thinking of New York, images of bustling streets, crowded subways cars, overflowing sidewalks, street performers, endless buildings and hordes of tourists come to mind. Central Park, China Town, Downtown, Hells Kitchen, Wall Street and Times Square. But how many times have you thought of seeing New York from a sail boat? Viewing the waterfront sights without the hassle of long lines and overcrowded ferries, sailing down the Hudson River to New York Harbor and sitting within 100 yards of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or the historic Brooklyn Bridge. This is an unforgettable way to experience New York City and its breathtaking views and has become one of the prevailing ways to experience the city.
Sailing season is right around the corner and yachting companies are busy gearing up for what promises to be a spectacular season. Many locals are already scheduling charters and sailing lessons to experience the solitude and serenity that only sailing can bring. "This winter has been particularly long and harsh. New Yorkers are ready for their much deserved break" said Amanda Vlastas, Manager of Atlantic Yachting. "Sailboat charters are the perfect getaway from the daily stresses of life and leave you feeling fresh and rejuvenated."
In addition to sailing the typical city route, many people are sailing north to experience the beauty of the scenic Palisades. Romantic sails have also become increasingly popular - couples enjoy the soft symphony of hues and city life that paint the New York sunset. It's not uncommon for marriage proposals to take place amongst this scenic backdrop.
City natives (and tourists alike) can't wait to get outside and experience the solitude and serenity that only sailing can bring. Sailboat charters are the perfect getaway from the daily stresses of life.
