The tall ship “Pioneer” is among the many treasures that you will find at Pier 16 and at the Seaport Museum. Set sail on Friday for a sunset sail that is sure to leave a lasting impression. 

Take a beautiful Sail Around New York on a historic 1885 schooner! See the sights of New York Harbor from the decks of the historic 130-year-old schooner PIONEER.

Bring your family for an afternoon sail, a date for a sunset sail, or just yourself to enjoy history at sea. Get a new perspective on New York City with a sail on PIONEER. The best way to experience the harbor, without crowds, cars, and chaos. Bring a picnic lunch or dinner, afternoon snack, beverages or a bottle of wine to enjoy on your sail. PIONEER sails rain or shine.

Time:  7:00 pm

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
