You haven’t really felt New York until you’re out on the harbor.
That electric, once-in-a-night energy you only get when the city, the music and the water align perfectly. 🌊🎷
Every sail is intimate. Every sunset is unrepeatable.
May 1st we’re back on the harbor 🔗 https://manhattanbysail.com

July 3rd & 4th -you won’t see this from shore. 🇺🇸⛵
This is America’s 250th birthday. And we’re sailing it from the inside.

Clipper City, NYC’s largest tall ship has a place inside the America Sail250 Parade of Sail. Not watching from a dock. Not from a rooftop bar. On the water. In the parade.

July 3 → Sail the East River as tall ships from around the world make their ceremonial entrance into New York Harbor. You’ll feel the scale of it in your chest.
July 4 → The full International Parade of Sail -Clipper City positioned inside the procession, surrounded by towering masts, naval fleets, and military aircraft roaring overhead in formation.

There are very few tickets left. This is the kind of thing people talk about for the rest of their lives.

🎟️ https://manhattanbysail.com/ grab your spot before they’re gone.

Stop searching for the same wedding venue as everyone else.

The biggest mistake couples make?
Choosing something beautiful…
but forgetting to make it unforgettable.

Imagine this -
walking hand in hand beneath the lights of the Brooklyn Bridge,
your guests waiting at Pier 17,
a tunnel of light guiding you into your first night as newlyweds.

This isn’t a ballroom.
This is New York - alive, cinematic, yours.

⚓ Clipper City - one of NYC’s most unforgettable wedding experiences for 2026.

Limited 2026 dates now open.
