USA Today Recommends Atlantic Yachting

By Maria Janelli (Excerpt)

New York City has a world famous skyline. When you're visiting Manhattan, however, you are too close to the action to enjoy the backdrop of the buildings, the sky and the Hudson River. One way to see the skyline and other landmarks is to take a cruise around the harbor on a luxury yacht. There are several companies that provide a variety of chartering packages to meet your needs.

Contact Atlantic Yachting if you're interested in chartering your own vessel. The company has sailboats that can accommodate parties up to six people. You'll enjoy drinks and gourmet catering. The most popular cruise departs from the 79th Street Boat Basin, sailing south along the Hudson River and around the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge. Guests can customize their itinerary to meet their exact requirements. Atlantic Yachting does not provide public cruises; each yacht must be privately chartered.
