New York Fall Foliage Sail up the Hudson River 3.5 hr

Set sail from Chelsea Piers for a fresh perspective on New York’s autumn scenery. This 3.5-hour New York fall foliage sail up the Hudson River heads north aboard the Schooner Adirondack or Schooner America 2.0, classic sailboats inspired by 19th-century designs.

Relax on deck as Manhattan’s Upper West Side recedes and the Palisades rise along the New Jersey shore. These striking cliffs are a prime destination on the route, and the changing leaves can make the waterfront especially memorable. You’ll also pass beneath the George Washington Bridge, with plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the open-air views. One complimentary beverage is included; bring a picnic lunch if you’d like something to eat, and dress in warm layers for the breeze.

Fall colors vary from year to year and peak foliage is not guaranteed. The New York fall foliage sail up the Hudson River offers a scenic journey along the Palisades regardless of the season’s colors. Check in at the Classic Harbor Line ticket booth at Pier 62, then settle in and enjoy the river from the water.
