Full description

Embark on an unforgettable journey with the Bronx Brewery team, a collective of passionate individuals eager to share their expertise in the art of beer and brewing. Aboard the Clipper City, New York's largest and most impressive sailing vessel, indulge in a lineup of exceptional brews and hard seltzers while taking in the picturesque views of the world's most perfect harbor. This unique experience offers unlimited beer (snacks available for purchase!), creating the perfect setting to appreciate the stunning NYC skyline.

Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a first-timer, immerse yourself in the thrill of hoisting a sail or taking the helm of the historic Clipper City. Feel the massive, heroic boat beneath you, as a crew of six skillfully handles the sails, encouraging your active participation. Prefer to sit back and enjoy the ride? No problem – the adventure caters to every type of seeker, ensuring an epic experience for all.

With a remarkable length of 158 feet and masts soaring to 120 feet, the Clipper City comfortably accommodates 149 people, making it the largest passenger sailboat in the United States. Marvel at sails that dwarf houses as they reach towards the sky. The boat features waist-high railings, a spacious open deck (100 feet x 30 feet) with benches, hatches, and a raised quarter deck where the captain takes the helm. Throughout the journey, 5,000 feet of sail will be unfurled, offering a truly majestic sight.

Originally built as a lumber schooner just before the Civil War, the Clipper City has a rich history. Meticulously reconstructed from the original plans borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution, the ship has recently undergone refurbishment, preserving its historic charm. As you sail, you'll connect with the past while enjoying the present, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Who can you accommodate for?

Children: This is not an experience for children.

There is a large main deck with restrooms on the same level. Bathrooms cannot be entered whilst in a wheelchair, but you may transfer from chair to bathroom as there are grab bars inside. Unfortunately, the ship cannot accommodate larger electric scooters and wheelchairs.
Pets: Small dogs who are happy to sit on leash and on laps are welcome on board, with advance notice. Please make a note at the time of booking if you would like to bring your dog.
