“We love partnerships! And we are proud to pair up with another New York City business like Flagship Brewery. It is the perfect pairing to enhance our sailing experiences as guests cruise the Manhattan harbor. We know people could use a nice cold craft beer on a historic sailing yacht while taking in the amazing views of the New York City skyline, especially after the past few crazy and stressful months of being cooped up!” says Tom Berton, CEO of Manhattan by Sail. 

“We can’t wait to partner again for another sailing season with Manhattan By Sail. After a busy few months of delivering beer all over Staten Island and New York City, we are proud to say that our “Unforgettable Beers From The Forgotten Borough” have definitely been making their rounds in New York. We know guests will love our variety of delicious and crisp craft beers paired with the scenic views our city has to offer.” says Jay Sykes, Owner of The Flagship Brewing Company.

ABOUT THE “SHEARWATER” BOAT The Shearwater was hand-built in 1929 from native hardwoods, the 82-foot schooner Shearwater harkens back to a bygone era of yachting. One of New York City’s only floating designated landmarks, Shearwater has been taking New Yorkers and the city’s visitors sailing in the harbor since 2001. She celebrated her 90th birthday in 2019 and still going strong and sailing gracefully, the Gatsby-era yacht comfortably accommodates up to 48 passengers and departs daily from lower Manhattan’s North Cove Marina on public sails and private charters.
