Sail from Manhasset Bay onto Long Island Sound, spotting historic lighthouses and the New York City skyline with Captain Steve.

About this tour

Set sail with Captain Steve on a private Long Island Sound sailing experience, where waterfront mansions, historic lighthouses, and the New York City skyline frame the journey. This three-hour outing begins in Manhasset Bay, between Great Neck’s Kings Point and Port Washington’s Sands Point, before opening onto the Sound.

Along the way, look for the Throgs Neck Bridge, Hart Island, Steppingstone Lighthouse, and Execution Rocks Lighthouse. New sailors and experienced hands are welcome to take the helm, trim the sails, and try tacking and jibing. Prefer a slower pace? Ask to anchor in a quiet bay for lunch and a swim. Bottled water is provided, and the private setting suits celebrations such as birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, and bachelorette parties.

Make the most of the coast from the water on a Long Island Sound sailing experience. Call or text when you arrive, and plan ahead for nearby parking, as the hotel and marina have none.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
