Private Winter(!!) Boat Tours on the Hudson with Sailaway NY  

Winter 2055-2026

It’s not every day you can be boating on the Hudson in December, but we got lucky this week (peep some of the team above^). Sailaway NY is a fleet of boats owned by a local Jersey City resident and veteran, that charters private group tours throughout the season. We took a tour on the 60-foot motor boat ‘Trident’ this week, and it was so fun — perfect for events and gatherings. It’s such a fun and cozy winter experience (for 20-25 people!), with incredible views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and NYC skyline. Rentals are available for holiday parties, winter charters, sporting event viewing, and other events for groups.
