Set sail on an unforgettable journey aboard the Clipper City, New York’s largest and most iconic tall ship. Departing daily from scenic downtown Manhattan, we offer public sails and private charters that showcase the stunning skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the unparalleled magic of the harbor.

A true piece of living history, Clipper City began her life as a cargo schooner before the Civil War. Reimagined and meticulously restored using original Smithsonian plans, this 48-meter twin-masted beauty now carries up to 144 guests in style. With a spacious open deck, full-service bar, and eight majestic sails, she’s the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

Crafted by Haglund Boat Works and launched in 1985 with a durable steel hull and elegant wooden superstructure, Clipper City has a storied past—from service with the U.S. Coast Guard in Baltimore to her triumphant arrival in Manhattan in 2009. Today, she continues to embody the spirit of adventure and the enduring allure of the sea.

Whether you're planning a memorable private event or simply seeking an extraordinary public sail, Clipper City offers a one-of-a-kind maritime experience in the greatest harbor in the world.
