Come Sail with Us   The Schooner Adirondack at Chelsea Piers, Pier 62 West 23rd Street and the West Side Highway CALL 800-701-SAIL Adirondack@Scaranoboat.com     About the Boat

Built in 1994 in the Scarano Boat Yard of Albany, New York, the Schooner Adirondack is an 80-foot wooden replica of a classic turn of the century pilot schooner. Designed and built for speed and easy handling, pilot schooners were the coastal guide and rescue boats of the time, pilot schooners patrolled the harbors and often rescued vessels arriving late at night from the dangers of an unfamiliar coastline in dark and threatening waters. 

Known for her speed and maneuverability (twice winning the Mayor's Cup races in New York Harbor) Schooner Adirondack is a safe and gentle vessel. Along her common route heading south from Chelsea Piers and down the Hudson River to Battery Park, Schooner Adirondack passes by Ellis Island and sails out to the Statue of Liberty. Wind and time permitting, she will head toward Governors Island, breeze by the Financial District and tease her bow under the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River.
