A sunset sail with Captain David Caporale is a must do. Nothing more beautiful and soothing He's very knowledgeable, experienced and a fun conversationalist! read more

We did the 2-hour private sail experience with Captain Dave. His directions to find the boat were impeccable, and I don't know how anyone could get lost. Not far from the 911 Memorial, the marina was very easy to find and had great views of the Jersey shoreline. Captain Dave is a native to the area, so he knows virtually everything about this area. He pointed out landmarks and took us right up to the Statue of Liberty while telling us about Ellis Island and the other buildings in that area. The views from the boat were astounding, especially of the Manhattan skyline. Dave was really friendly and we had a great time laughing and taking photos with him. My sister and I had the BEST time on his sailboat, Tara, and we will definitely go back. HIGHLY recommend! read more

What an amazing way to see the City and especially the Statue of Liberty. Beautiful vessel and a wonderful day for sailing. Captain Matt was excellent, friendly and engaging. We all agreed it was the best thing we did on our visit to the city. I highly recommend this Sailing Company. read more

Captain David truly is the best & most experienced sailor on the Hudson. We were visiting from California & as it was my husband's first time in the City, I really wanted to give him the best possible view of the skyline. Tribeca Sailing met & exceeded expectations. The sail was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend to anyone visiting or residing in NYC. You won't be disappointed! read more

Captain David is amazing! I booked the Tara for my boyfriend's birthday, and it was such a delight! It was just us two and Captain David and he made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole ride. He was so much fun to talk to and get to know, and he allowed us to see NYC in such a great way. There is no better way to see the skyline!! Thank you so much for an amazing birthday weekend. read more

We had the best time sailing the Hudson with David. He is very professional and full of information. We brought wine & snacks aboard as we sailed to The impressive Statue of Liberty. The boat is beautiful and has a restroom on board as well ( bonus:) This was a highlight of our trip to NYC. As far as private boats go I thought this was very reasonable for the 6 of us making wonderful memories together on our vacation. Thanks David for a very memorable sail! read more

Tribeca Sailing - Beautiful day to sail the Hudson !Amazing views of Lady Liberty! - Sailing Near Me - New York, New York

It seems like a lot of tourists like this trip but I can tell you first hand that it was great for us as NYC residents as well. My wife and I took the night private sail last night with Captain Sam and could not have had a better experience. Sam was great. The boat was great. Lots of laughs. Great photos including some up close and personal with Lady Liberty. We are already planning our next trip with them. We packed some champagne and dinner for the trip but barely got around to the food as we were enjoying ourselves so much. It was an amazing night! Don't even hesitate. Book them and don't think twice. read more

We had such a perfect experience on Tara with Captain David! The boat is beautiful and the views spectacular. Highly recommend and looking forward to going out again! read more

Amazing experience. We were lucky because we had the boat for only the 2 of us! It's good to go in December because due to the cold weather, less people go. The captain was awesome and very friendly. The sail was fantastic with amazing views of Statue of Liberty, a wonderful and magical sunset and the NYC skyline! They gave us blankets! It's definitely worth it and much better than booking one of those huge cruises. This is more intimate. Perfect for couples! It can be a great choice for a birthday gift or special occasion! read more

Went sailing with my boyfriend for my birthday..we had the best time! Weather was perfect and Dave was very knowledgeable. It was very relaxing and great for sightseeing. Would definitely do this again. read more

Captain Dave is great! The weather was perfect for us, and we had a great trip. My friends were thrilled I planned something unique for the afternoon, and it really took very little effort. It's fun for New Yorkers and tourists. This is much, much better than doing a standard boat tour. We brought wine, cheese, hummus, and crackers. We couldn't have asked for a better day. read more

Hubby surprised me for our anniversary with a private sunset sail in NYC harbor this past week...Actually, he first joked with me that he was taking me mini-golfing (the sailboat Tara is moored in an inlet located next to one of those swanky new Hudson River Park piers complete with mini golf course). But at the last second he turned away from the golf window & walked over to the water railing, leaned down and "Ahoy"-d Captain Dave of the Tara! We climbed aboard the sailboat, got a quick safety briefing, and were under way in a few minutes. Hubby had rented out the entire sailboat (which seats 6 comfortably) for just us 2! Talk about romantic... the sun was setting and Captain Dave put up the sails, we floated past Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, etc... It was quite peaceful & I will say this: we felt VERY special compared to the other sailboats & motorboats on the harbor that had people crammed in shoulder to shoulder. Ours was far more relaxing & intimate. The Captain really knew his stuff - told us bits of NYC history & interesting tidbits about other boats in the harbor. But as this was meant to be a romantic night, he let us have our moments and wasn't chattering away all the time, which I really liked. I have to say, he struck the perfect blend in being friendly, informative, and unobtrusive. We brought our own little picnic of wine, baguette, cheeses, pate, etc... and we were free to drink and eat as we wished. Seriously, this was the BEST anniversary we've ever celebrated... but on to the service you actually care about: Time: 2 hours Rates: $65 pp (reasonable for NYC) Boat: Tara is a nice-sized sailboat & the Capt said it was newly refurbished (the wood trim is gleaming). Captain: Friendly without being intrusive, knows his stuff regarding sailing as he's been doing it for decades & is fully licensed/insured, and will give you a bit of a history lesson if you want it :) BOTTOM LINE: Go! If you're looking to get out on the harbor for a few hours & don't feel like being crammed in with the rest of the touristas, give Tara & Captain Dave a try! read more

Easily booked with Capt Dave for a trip with my parents and it was a wonderful sail around the New York harbor. The 2 hours were filled with beautiful sites, insightful info about the sites/buildings and smooth water (no sea sickness for my husband:) ). If you are a New Yorker and haven't done this yet, you need to get on it! Amazing sailing adventure! read more

What an evening! What a sailboat! What a captain! We did the beautiful sunset sail last week. Our expectations were surpassed and then some. Captain Dave is the man. He is a great shmoozer and knows a ton about pretty much everything. If you are looking for some alone time, he is happy to sit back and make sure you don't hit any icebergs! We got this as a wedding gift and this is now our go to wedding gift for others! read more

If you are considering booking this experience hesitate no more, your search stops HERE...you found THE ONE! I booked this last weekend for my husbands joint 30th birthday with his best mate. It is a unique and memorable experience to enjoy NYC. Captain Dave has hospitality down to a T, he is so friendly, professional and gave us some great historical insights into the sights we saw....plus he added to the dynamic of our group. We brought some light snacks and of course some adult beverages and enjoyed every minute of it. I most definitely highly recommend TriBeCa sailing, perfect for; Birthday Parties Proposals Team building / Small corporate events Family reunions (small family...not irish sized family!) Hen & Stag do's EVERYTHING read more

I went for a sail with Captain David for the second time. David responds promptly to any pre-sail questions and he goes out of his way to make sure that you're pleased with your sail. read more

Tribeca Sailing is terrific -- I strongly recommend them. Captain Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the skyscrapers and is an excellent sailor. y wife & I went with our two young kids (8 & 10) and all 4 of us agreed it was the highlight of our weekend in NY. We went under the Brooklyn Bridge and sailed very close to the Statue of Liberty which was a thrill. Highly recommend! read more

What a great experience! Beautiful boat, great captain, amazing views of downtown, Lady Liberty, multiple bridges & Brooklyn/ Governors Island. Rented sunset, weekday sail with 6 of us (all locals), brought wine, cheeses, drinks on board & fully enjoyed the 2 hour trip & definitely coming back again! read more

Tribeca sailing is awesome. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted the entire sail but by myself along with my husband. Captain David is such a good host. On the day of our sail, he was unwell and he right away appointment Captain Sam. Sam was so nice that not only he was sailing our boat but gave all the info we needed for the sail boat. He offered water, blanket, tower everything. It was such a great hospitality. They treat us as there guest on the boat. Also, we were 20 mins late to board the boat but Captain Sam patiently waited for us and than welcomed us nicely. I highly recommend Tribeca sailing. read more

Very nice. Easy booking, relatively cheap and very chill. Captain is cool as well. Much better than a typical statue of liberty tour on a big boat. read more

My husband and I decided against boarding the crowded tourist boats that go to the Statue of Liberty but chose instead to take a private sailing tour with David on his gorgeous sailboat. We were not disappointed. His knowledge of the harbor and the history of the buildings made for a truly enjoyable afternoon on the water. David took us to places many of the larger tours don't visit - and we enjoyed a leisurely sail under the Brooklyn Bridge, where we captured some truly amazing photos. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who prefers a quiet, personalized tour over crowds, noise and limits. read more

I booked a private sail for my BF's b'day and it was worth every penny! We lucked out with absolutely perfect weather for sailing. Captain David was really nice and laid back and made the trip fun. We even got to try driving the boat and helping out with the sails and tacking as we pleased. We also had plenty of time to sip champagne and enjoy the views. Would definitely recommend! read more

We had a great trip on an overcast day sailing with Captain Dave. It ended up just being my fiance and I with one other passenger. Captain Dave was awesome and the Tara was beautiful. I would absolutely recommend! read more

One of my New York associates is a sailing fanatic. He comes from a long line of sailors and spends most of his free time in the ocean. His colleagues even call him Popeye the Sailor. He booked a City Lights Statue Tour. We went there by the subway to the World Trade Center. It was barely five minutes away. We were all recommended to wear life jackets. I'm very pleased by the way they take their responsibility on safety - in a responsible, but not a forceful way. And we got to bring beer. Yaaay! Captain David is a super cool guy. A real professional in this business, we talked about his experience, he told us stories and we had a great time and good fun. He also allowed us to get the wheel and gave us advices on what to do and how. His staff was very friendly, too. They helped us a lot with the sails. The tour itself was amazing. It was a private night tour, so it was only our company of four. We had the chance to see all of New York City's lights. NYC is amazing at night with all its lights, and the way skyscrapers illuminate the sky. The Lady of Liberty looked like an angel by the glow of her torch. I can't wait to go on the sunset trip next time I'm in town. read more

My Dad and I had a brilliant trip with Captain Dave. It ended up just being me and my Dad which was perfect, Captain Dave is really knowledgeable and friendly, and he let my Dad who is a sailing enthusiast take the reigns for quite some time during the trip. I would absolutely recommend Tribeca Sailing to anyone. read more

Captain Dave treated us to the most amazing day! The boat was beautiful, the weather was amazing and the views were breath taking!

I HIGHLY recommend Captain Dave and the entire sailing experience! I decided that I wanted to get some on the water time in before winter hell breaks loose so I googled sailing in NYC. I abhor the big touristy/booze cruise scenarios so when I saw that Tribeca Sailing takes a maximum of 6 people at a time, I was all in. I made a reservation on Saturday for a Sunday afternoon sail. I arrived right before 3 and my date was running a few minutes late so I walked down to the dock and was warmly greeted by Captain Dave. It turns out there was only 1 other person that was going to join us so it was almost like we had our own private cruise. We hopped aboard the Tara, which is a classic. I sailed quite a bit when I was younger but really just wanted to relax and soak in the absolutely perfect weather and some good wine. You have the option of just sitting back and relaxing or trying your hand at sailing. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We sailed out to as close as we could get to Lady Liberty and then just leisurely sailed around. Captain Dave was informative and mentioned points of interest. This was exactly what I was looking for in an end of summer afternoon and I plan on many more sailing trips with Captain Dave and the Tara. read more

Perfect experience overall. Captain Dave is super nice and a great tour guide as well. Was super chill about food and drinks on the boat. I surprised my girlfriend for her 30th birthday with this event and she said it was the best birthday gift she's ever gotten. Highly recommend you do this once - whether you're in NYC for vacation or live in the city like me. Thanks again for a great time Captain Dave! read more
