Coming soon: Yacht Manhattan II!

This epic, white-hulled 100-foot long & 22-foot beam yacht echoes everything that the first Yacht Manhattan is, but with more space, more glass and more accommodations. Manhattan II’s 1920s-inspired design continues with her hull shape and fine features, including teak decks and mahogany finishes. Like her predecessor, Manhattan II also features a spectacular cabin with an all-glass observatory, cushioned seating and intimate tables, and a large, well appointed bar. The main salon is additionally air-conditioned in the summer and heated during the cooler months. Fantastic un-obscured views and comfort are boundless.

Additionally, Yacht Manhattan II is equipped with a sound system throughout offering perfectly executed narrated tours. She hosts the renowned AIANY Architecture Tours, Around Manhattan Brunch Tours, and Wine Tasting Cruises, to name a few.

Down below is an expansive full-service galley. For private parties she is ideal for up to 100 guests in mild weather and up to 75 in the harsher seasons.

The Manhattan II is available year-round.

Four Great Waterbound Adventures in NYC

Four Great Waterbound Adventures in NYC

In the concrete jungle that is New York, sometimes visitors  — and even New Yorkers themselves — forget that the city is surrounded by water.

There’s the isle of Manhattan, of course; Coney Island (which is really a peninsula); and the hottest  piece of land these days, Governor’s Island, situated right in New York Harbor. On your next foray to the Big Apple, catch the breeze on one of these wonderful water adventures.

Cruise with Classic Harbor Line

Sail around the city on the Yacht Manhattan. A predictable boat trip would be the Staten Island Ferry — free, yes, but hardly glamorous. Water Taxis are adorable, but  only take you a few short hops. And sightseeing tours like those offered the Circle Line and the Beast are notoriously crowded.

For a more exclusive tour, check out Classic Harbor Line, which gives you the choice of cruising around  in an indoor/outdoor motorized yacht, the Yacht Manhattan, or getting all salty dog on the swift-moving schooner Adriondack. The extensive list of tours makes these boats a great option whether you love brunch (which includes complimentary Bloody Mary or Mimosa), sunsets and Champers (Champagne Sunset Cruise), live jazz (Sunday Evening Jazz Cruise), booze and brie (NY State Beer & Cheese Pairing), or architecture (Around Manhattan Official NYC Architecture Tour). Tours start at just $45.
