 Offering a premium sailing experience, the Schooner America 2.0 is the newest, largest, most elegant ship designed for our fleet.  Added to our fleet in 2011, the America 2.0 provides the most exceptional day sailing one can find in New York Harbor.  Her design is influenced by the style of the late 1800s but incorporates technology of the 21st century, thus connecting the past and present beauty, history, and art of sailing in New York Harbor.

A day sail on this 105-foot schooner is perfect for family outings, dates, and entertaining guests from out of town. A sail on America 2.0 is guaranteed to be a memorable experience.
