With a length of 158 feet and masts rising 120 feet, she can comfortably sail 149 people, the most of any passenger sailboat in the United States. You will look up and see sails that are bigger than your house. Our masts reaching towards the sky, we just fit under Brooklyn Bridge by a few meters when the tide is just low enough! This large sailboat has waist-high railings and provides a big, open deck (100 feet x 30 feet) with benches, hatches and a raised quarter deck where the captain steers. During your journey, we’ll fly 5,000 feet of sail.

Features

Be whisked back in time to the Roaring ’20s aboard this beautifully restored 1929 sailing ship. The pinnacle of luxury yachts at the time, the Shearwater is a blue water ocean cruiser which has been around the globe. She’s sailed the Pacific, been through the Panama Canal and won classic yacht races in NY and New Zealand. Like New Yorkers, she’s got character and depth. With a length of 82 feet (larger than the Mayflower) and a width of 16.5 feet, she’s one of largest sailboats built in her era yet her sleek feel provides an intimate experience for up to 37 passengers. Seating is ad-hoc: find a place to sit on a bench, a deck-box or the owner’s favorite spot: directly on the original Rangoon teak deck. A spiral staircase drops you below to check out the exquisite mahogany interior, you’ll be immersed in the Gatsby era and Gilded Age while looking at modern-day New York City skyline.
