Some friends and I celebrated my boyfriend's 30th birthday by suprising him with a sailing trip around NYC. Our private charter aboard the Go Lightly was for 2 hours, but next time we'll arrange for a 3-hour charter, since the experience was that great! Tonia and her crew were first rate and were very friendly.  They provided us with wine glasses and even served the food that we had brought with us.  I was even able to plug in my iPod so we could listen to our own music.  We all had a great time and I would definitely use Atlantic Yachting again, whether to celebrate a special event or to just have a few peaceful hours.  Highly recommend!

Great Lesson and Wonderful Afternoon

MDM on Trip Advisor says:

I have some experience sailing and this is one of the most professional and passionate sailing education groups I've come across. The boat was spotless and the lesson I received was everything I hoped it would be. I have taken lessons other places, and I found myself in a crowded boat with instructors who seemed detached and bored. Atlantic Yachting is different. The experience of the staff is outstanding, their passion for sailing is infectious and the amount you will learn in just one afternoon is impressive. I highly recommend them as the best value for sailing in the NY Metro area.

Great Day Totally worth it

MDM on CitySearch Says:

Amazing day on the water. Totally recommend to anyone out there. You won't regret it.

Sailed with my girlfriend last summer... It was absolutely amazing. I've been on sailboats all of my life and I was thoroughly impressed with this operation. They are first rate all the way. From the booking process, to my arrival at the marina, to the perfect atmosphere on board. The captain and crew were very friendly yet gave us plenty of space to just be with one another. I highly recommend and will definitely sail with them again this summer.

She Said Yes !

We started our season off just right. Our very first charter of the year turned into surprise proposal while under sail in New York Harbor.  And of course, she said yes!

Our Sentiments Exactly

Another Visitor!

Another strange visitor on the Hudson... This morning King Tut sailed by our office on a barge!

A Visitor

Our friend Bruno sent us an image of this super cute seal lounging on our docks last weekend. The Hudson never ceases to surprise.

We took two boats out on the Hudson and shot on both of them with a stunning Manhattan backdrop. We finally got our hands on the published photos and uploaded them for your viewing pleasure

My son and daughter had a wonderful experience this summer. The counselors were very knowledgeable and kind. The camp was very safe and a great way for them to spend their summer, we look forward to next year.

Kids Sailing Around the World

Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian, began her attempt at solo circumnavigation on Sunday when she left Sydney in her yacht. She plans on spending the next eight months at sea sailing some 28,000 miles around the world on her 10-meter boat, hoping to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe alone. Her departure was not without controversy, however: the government in her home state of Queensland, as well as some of Australia’s most experienced sailors, have urged her not to try. Watson’s attempt comes just a few months after 13-year-old Laura Dekker of Holland was ordered into state care to scuttle her own plans to break the record; the current record-holder is 17-year-old Mike Perham, who completed his circumnavigation in August.

A Romantic Way to Spend a Day in New York

Lee Hopper on Trip Advisor says:

My wife and I snuck away from our jobs last month for a romantic weekend away from the kids. We stayed in a great hotel, ate at some wonderful restaurants, but the highlight of our getaway was taking in New York City by water. Everything went smooth, the staff was very helpful the wind was perfect. I would definitely recommend this as a romantic way to see the City. Thanks Atlantic Yachting.
