They say that in New York the days where you have
nothing planned sometimes turn out to be the best days, well this was certainly
true for us at the weekend.
Although September, the heat was still turned up high and we
really fancied a refreshing boat ride after quite a long walk around the city. However the thought of standing with the
hoards of tourists to see the Statue of Liberty or something similar did not
really appeal.
We have walked past the Clipper City Tall Ship at Battery
Park several times, but usually the next sail is fully booked or the timings
don’t work for us.
But as we strolled past on Sunday, there was a cruise about
to leave in half an hours time with lots of space available – perfect!
The City Clipper was originally built as a cargo ship, but
has been refurbished with a sweeping deck, a full bar and number of seating
options. It can now hold up to 130 passengers and sails around Manhattan
harbour daily.
We were some of the first to board and headed to the front
of the boat to grab a seat, further from the bar, but a fun place to be with
lots of space.
The staff were all relaxed and friendly – even when our
little guy tried to go places he probably wasn’t supposed to (see photo
evidence below)!
The bar on board was great and very reasonably priced. I
don’t have the best sea legs so I stuck to wine, but the cocktails did look
very good and I’m told were very strong! They also do a mean kids cocktail so
the little ones can join in the fun too.
Once we had our drinks, we sat back, enjoyed the sea breeze
and soaked in all the amazing delights of the harbour, like I said sometimes
the best days are unplanned.
They have various cruises throughout the day. We did the
daytime statue sail, but you can also do this at twighlight or in the evening
which would also be pretty amazing.
If you are after something more interesting they do some
speciality cruises such as a lobster and beer lovers sail, a jazz sail and even
a burlesque sail.
You can find out more on the Manhattan by Sail website.
