VENTURA
Ventura has been proudly offering sailing charters in New York City for over 30 years, but her history goes back much further than that. Ventura is a classic Herreshoff sloop with an America's Cup pedigree. In 1919, she was commissioned to be built as a private duck hunting yacht for George Baker, the founder of Citibank and a prominent philanthropist. Measuring 70' in length, Ventura has ample seating for 30 guests on deck and cabins below deck in original decor.
Today, Ventura is based in glamorous North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place where she hosts private sailing charters and some open-to-the-public cruises throughout the summer.

We chartered a private sail for our wedding ceremony and had the greatest experience! The captain & staff provided the most seamless, fun, experience. All of our guests felt at ease even on rocky seas & had an unforgettable time!
★★★★★ Emily K
I really wanted to shout out just how amazing the crew was! From the ease of booking (almost last minute), having all of our questions answered, and helping us have a perfect and chill wedding day.
We got married on the boat (with the Statue of Liberty as our backdrop) and after we said “I do” they were cheering for us just as loud as our family and friends while also being on the ready to Immediately serve drinks and food.
We honestly could not have been more happy to have selected them to host part 1 of our special day.
For our guests, I had ordered boat anchors bottle openers and gifted a few to the crew and the smile on the crew members face was priceless and extremely sweet.
We HIGHLY recommend them for any party. Everyone was extremely professional and fun. We were treated like their family and friends.

★★★★★ Ilana P
I booked Sailing Yacht Ventura for a work event for ~20 people and it was perfect! The boat is beautiful and historic and made for a wonderful cruise around the lower tip of Manhattan with a close sail by the Statue of Liberty. The crew was so nice and were very attentive with providing drinks and food. Would highly recommend!!
★★★★★ Malory D
Highly recommend the Ventura. We have sailed twice now with a group of 25-30 people. The crew are professional and always keep safety in mind, booking was easy, and the boat in gorgeous condition. On our last trip we were worried about the potential for bad weather, but the captain offered either a refund or rescheduled sail without any hesitation. Sailing with the Ventura has now become a yearly tradition with our group!
