Going Back to Their Roots
Classic Harbor Line is thrilled to see our longtime partners at Scarano Boat Building featured in a fantastic article in Foghorn Magazine titled “Going Back to Their Roots.” The piece beautifully captures their philosophy and exactly why we are so proud to have our fleet built by their master craftsmen. Reading the feature only amplifies our excitement that our newest vessel, the forthcoming Manhattan III, is the very boat that marks their return to the timeless elegance of wood.
A Return to Timeless Craftsmanship: Welcoming the Wooden Hull of Manhattan III
Classic Harbor Line creates unforgettable New York boat tours. Our vessels are more than just boats. They are the heart of our guest experience.
Our iconic yachts Manhattan and Manhattan II are beloved. They have defined the New York skyline for years. These yachts provide intimate connections with the city and sea.
Why Choose a Wooden Boat Today?
You may ask why we chose wood. Modern composites are widely available. However, wood creates an unparalleled guest experience. Foghorn Magazine recently highlighted this same choice.
Experience an Intimate Connection.
Rick Scarano describes an “intimacy with the water.” A wooden hull provides this unique feel. Furthermore, it gently cuts through the waves. This brings you closer to New York Harbor.
Enjoy Unmatched Warmth and Beauty.
Step aboard our wooden yacht. You will see rich mahogany and elegant ash. This is not just a simple finish. It is a warm, inviting atmosphere. Consequently, you will feel truly transported.
Discover Modern Innovation.
The Manhattan III is not an old wooden boat. John Scarano calls it “a whole different animal.” For example, it uses strong laminated wood. This creates a durable, dry hull. Therefore, it blends timeless craft with modern technology.
Building on a Legacy of Excellence.
We refined our operation for over 30 years. The new Manhattan III culminates this effort. It will be larger than its predecessors. As a result, we can welcome more passengers. We also add new accessibility features. However, we kept the narrow, intimate design. This ensures breathtaking, unobstructed 360° views.
We are proud of Scarano Boat Building’s feature in Foghorn Magazine. Their improvement philosophy aligns with our mission. We both deliver authentic harbor experiences.
A new Scarano boat always thrills us. However, the wooden-hulled Manhattan III feels especially special. It represents a true homecoming. It celebrates craftsmanship, beauty, and sea connection.
We eagerly await your arrival on the Manhattan III. Prepare to experience New York Harbor anew. Book your New York boat tour soon
