Looking for the perfect spot for a summer celebration or a romantic evening on the water? Look no further then The Mark Hotel’s spectacular, luxurious Sailboat. The sleek, 70 foot Herreshoff sailboat, originally launched in 1921, has been completely restored with a solid mahogany hull and lustrous Indian teak decks. The sailboat’s interior was designed to be a floating extension of The Mark Hotel’s aesthetic conceived by legendary French designer Jacques Grange, whose signature black and white stripes, synonymous with the hotel’s lobby, adorn the elegant accommodations on deck.
The journey begins at Tribeca’s North Cove Marina (transportation to the dock is provided courtesy of the hotel should you add on a swanky Upper East Side stay) with a celebratory oyster toast which are shucked and served at the Marina. Once the passengers board, the ship sets sail and travels south through New York’s harbor, offering guests plenty of photo worthy moments with a backdrop of the city’s dramatic skyline. Guests get the rare opportunity to sail up close to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while enjoying delicious canapés such as Caprese skewers, lobster with ginger sauce, tuna tartare, caviar ‘dumplings and crudite, created by the hotel's famous chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten while sipping Champagne, wine and ginger margaritas.
The boat can accommodate up to 25 guests… perfect for any celebration, but can also be reserved for as few as two people, making it an ideal choice for an intimate date night or proposal moment.
