Ships Ahoy! Family-Friendly Sails are the Hottest Attraction in NYC!

08/23/2013 by Maytal

by Senior Reviewer Maytal Wichman

What can be better than cruising in the New York Harbor in a sail boat, enjoying the breeze and the warm sunshine?! Having your kids with you, of course! I recently sailed on the Clipper City Tall Ship, hosted by Mommy Poppins with my family and had a spectacular time enjoying the gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline and watching my kids have a blast on the ship. Here are photos of our sea adventure:

Here’s what the ship looks like, before the sails are up. It is a replica of a Civil War-era lumber-hauling schooner:

The kids loved getting tattoos and their activity booklets:

The ship has a cash bar, if you want to relax with a drink:

There are two sailings left this season:

Sunday, 9/22/13 at 10am & Noon: The theme is ecology & science. Activities will involve exploring the water and wildlife in the NY Harbor.

Sunday 10/19/13 at 10am & Noon: The theme is Halloween-related and kids are encouraged to come in costumes for a spooky sailing experience.

Duration: 75 minutes

Price: $39/adult; $25/children under 12; $35/senior citizen 65+. Note: everyone must have a ticket, including infants.

What’s included: tattoos & face painting, sailor skills, activity booklet and goody bags for the kids.

I was not compensated for this post. I received complimentary tickets.
