Absolutely the best way to see NYC is to see it from the water at night, and this tall ship was a blast! Excellent bartender and captain/crew. Highly recommend.

Step aboard Clipper City, New York’s largest passenger sailboat, for an evening sail beneath the glittering skyline. Watch the city transform into a dazzling panorama of lights, with the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline shining against the night sky. Perfect for a romantic night or a lively gathering, this sail pairs the city’s shimmering lights with an unforgettable atmosphere. Hailed as “possibly the nicest cocktail bar in NYC” by Downtown Magazine, enjoy cocktails, and light bites available for purchase as the gentle sway of the harbor sets the mood.

Amazing evening cruise with views you cannot get from anywhere else. Loved that the sails were up and enjoyed a quiet ride. Would highly recommend this tour as a great way to finish a day in New York City. Such a bonus to sail over to the Statue of Liberty and see it lit up at night The staff was very friendly..

This was one the best experiences. This is definitely something that you should add to your TO DO list. The owners are great and very personable. It was amazing to see the crew raising, trimming, and lower the sails with meticulous precision. We loved seeing the city from the water at night. You do not want to miss this experience.

Absolutely infuriating experience with Manhattan by Sail booked through Go City. I had a fully valid Go City pass, yet was forced to jump through hoops using the Go City app and enter a credit card just to make a reservation. Why? Apparently just so Manhattan by Sail could sneak in an extra charge anyway. What’s the point of a pass if I’m still paying out of pocket? Even worse, their customer service was a total joke—zero accountability, no real help, and definitely no refund. They just kept pointing fingers at Go City, who also shrugged it off. This felt like a scam, not a sightseeing experience. If you're thinking of booking this through Go City—don’t. You'll pay twice and get nowhere fast.

After a cancellation and a rearrangement, the cruise was well worth waiting for! It was excellent! Entertained by the crew raising and lowering the flags and watching the lovely lights in the background before finally seeing the Statue of Liberty in all her glory. We did feel a bit on the outside though as there was clearly a photo shoot/ party happening which made us feel excluded.
