Welcome to Big Apple Sailing!

You can sail on the America's Cup 12 Meter "America II" in New York Harbor!

"America II" is an incredible experience (see video below)! She is an amazing sailing machine and competed for the America's Cup in 1987. Now, America II offers day sails from North Cove Marina in Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan.

The cost is just $150 per person. This includes the full America's Cup Sailing Experience. You can help grind the winches, raise the sails, trim the sheets and maybe even steer the boat. Or you can sit back, relax and just soak it all in. There are group discounts as well.

America II goes sailing on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings at 6 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The current schedule is posted here. You can also see how many tickets have been sold and how many are still left.

Each sail lasts from 2 to 3 hours depending on the wind, tide and weather. After you help the crew put away the boat, then the whole crew normally sits down at the dock after sailing to share a beverage. Be sure to leave some extra time at the end of the sail to enjoy the marina atmosphere.

Up to 6 guests can go on each sail. There will be a captain who coordinates the crew as well as additional crew members.

Our location is North Cove Marina in Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan. This is one of the most beautiful urban settings in the country. From the marina, you can look out and see the Statue of Liberty.

This experience is great for corporate team building, entertaining or just rewarding yourself with the sail of a life-time.
