Nothing will prepare you for the amazing sensation of being NYC's largest sailing boat in commercial operation today ... 158 feet long, with masts rising 120' off the deck. Flying over 8,000 square feet of sail and weighing in at over 200 tons, the Clipper City is both an iconic addition to the NYC skyline and a stunning reminder of New York's role in America's 19th-century rise to prominence in global commerce.
Drinks available for purchase on board.

We strongly believe sailing should be accessible to all, regardless of mobility challenges. The Clipper City Tall Ship, although built prior to the A.D.A., is wheelchair accessible to 80% of the public deck space. Boarding the vessel usually requires an assist from one of our friendly crew as wakes from ferry boats and tidal change can create challenging conditions. Clipper City has a large main deck with restrooms on the same level. Bathrooms on Clipper City cannot be entered whilst in a wheelchair, but you may transfer from chair to bathroom as we have a grab bars inside. Please reach out to us so we can clarify and make arrangements to ensure the most comfortable possible experience aboard our vessels. We apologize but are unable to accommodate larger electric scooters and wheelchairs.
