We Took a 140-Year-Old Sailboat Out On the New York Harbor

If you've ever found yourself landlocked on a hot summer day, wishing you knew someone who had a boat, we've got good news for you. In Lower Manhattan, the "someone with a boat" is actually the South Street Seaport Museum, which offers delightful, two-hour sailing trips on its 1885 schooner, Pioneer. We set sail on the 19-century vessel last week for a sunset ride, taking in the historic sights and relaxing sounds of the New York Harbor. All of the experiences offered on Pioneer are between $20-$70 and are BYOB - a perfect way to live large in the summertime while staying on budget. Find out everything else you can expect from a ride on the schooner on our website at downtownny.com. Bon voyage!
