Itinerary

Built at the height of Roaring Twenties, 82-foot ‘Shearwater’ was the personal yacht of Charles E. Dunlap, a prominent New York City industrialist. She is superbly maintained, with sparkling paintwork, polished brass portholes and chrome trim. Her large Rangoon teak decks offer plenty of space for sitting and relaxing.
Below are mahogany-paneled staterooms, decorated with period furnishings, and a salon with leaded glass cabinets, fireplace, butterfly hatches and large gimbaled table.
You will sail quietly past the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and the historic sites of New York Harbor . You can admire the famous Manhattan skyline as you revel in the wind-powered elegance of this vintage ocean cruiser. Depending on the winds and tides, the captain may sail up the Buttermilk Channel or out to the Verrazzano Bridge, which spans the ocean entrance to the Harbor.
At the end of your relaxing and enjoyable sail, you will be dropped back at the starting point.
