Your sail on the Clipper City will be departing from PIER 35 on the East River – just North of the Manhattan Bridge. If you google: Mussel Beach, East River, NY you will arrive right near the pier. Walk straight from the park towards the river and turn LEFT (north) you will see the boat.

This activity will end right where it started.
Set sail on New York City’s waters on board the Clipper City. Departing from Slip 2 on the south side of Battery Park, this sightseeing voyage explores New York Harbor with outstanding views of the Big Apple’s best attractions.

The original Clipper City was built as a lumber-hauling cargo schooner just before the start of the Civil War. It was then rebuilt from the original plans, which were on loan from the Smithsonian Institution, and more recently refurbished to the modern-day sailing vessel on this tour. The new and improved Clipper City is 158 feet (47 m) long and 120 feet (36 m) high and can accommodate 130 passengers, more than any other sailboat of its kind in the United States.

On this afternoon sail, enjoy beautiful views of New York City landmarks from one of two decks.

Worth the money for the views on a relaxed sail
Julia_O
, Oct 2021
Gorgeous views on a very chill ride. There was a full bar with drinks and a few snacks like bags of chips for purchase. The bathrooms onboard were teeny and very clean. The capacity was much larger than I had realized from pictures, so a lot more folks onboard than I had anticipated, but not overcrowded. The location was also not as advertised so we had to change plans to board on the east side 35th pier instead of Chelsea pier. The company communicated the change was for the remainder of the year, so it’s not clear why they can’t update the website.

Warning- location can change at last hour

The ship never showed up at the pier. We called and the phones were not manned. We text and got a response that that location changed and they emailed. We never got and email. We could not make the new location before departure. Super sad situation.

icon Response from Host , Jul 2021
So very sorry for the issues - but the various changes in schedule and departure points was very fluid around the 4th. We did attempt to contact everyone as best as we can as COVID has meant our call center is not manned currently, but we can/do answer texts about 20 hours per day. If you are coming back to NYC anytime soon, please text us at 212-619-6900 and give your name -- we will be happy to have you back onboard on us. (Also, when booking through this platform, we get no direct email for you, so our email to you went back into the Viator platform and not to a direct email since TA does not share that with us.) Sorry again - please come back and join us!

Nothing to do with Statue of Liberty

The title is misleading. Very short, under an hour, and not getting even close to Statue of Liberty.

So fun to sit under the sails on the way to the Statue of Liberty. The trip took a little over 1 hour and was just the right amount of time. Miss Liberty was great to see from the water! And it was fun to watch the crew raise and lower the sails. Well priced.

Cancelled due to Mechanical problem

, Jul 2018
Mechanical Problem Cancellation of our trip at 1:30p on July 10 2018. We (myself , my son and my grandson) were at the pier at about 12:55p. The young lady on the pier told us that th ship had s mechanical problem and could not sail. She offered to book us at 1:30p on the next day (July 11th). We had tickets for a 2p matinee performance of School of Rock on July 11th. And we flew back to Nashville early on the 12th. I paid for a trip that was cancelled by the boat operator. I should have a refund.
