Embark on a journey of discovery aboard the classic yacht MANHATTAN, as we navigate the scenic New York Harbor waterways from Chelsea Piers to the hidden gems of U Thant Island, Roosevelt Island, Mill Rock, and North & South Brother Islands. Join us for a captivating 3-hour cruise through the heart of our city, where history and nature converge in breathtaking harmony.

As we set sail, prepare to be enchanted by the Manhattan skyline, the bustling waterway of the East River, north to the start of the Long Island Sound. Expert guide and renowned Urban Naturalist Gabriel Willow will regale you with fascinating tales of these iconic islands, steeped in history and teeming with wildlife.

North Brother & South Brother Islands, nestled in the East River, are not just picturesque landscapes but vital nesting habitat for a myriad of bird species. In fact, they are a nationally recognized haven for colonial water birds, gulls, herons, cormorants, and egrets. Witness the majesty of these magnificent creatures as they gather on the islands for nesting and rearing their young, with the New York City skyline as a backdrop. Return at sunset, and view the Statue of Liberty as the lights of the skyline and the stars in the night sky sparkle around us.
