WELCOME TO THE NEW YORK PASS BOOKING PAGE!
Our captain and crew look forward to sailing with you!
Our historic sailing vessels have a limited capacity. If you would like to make an advance reservation with your New York Pass we require a credit card to hold your space. Your card will only be charged if you do not show up for your confirmed sail time with a valid New York Pass.
Please note: Children under 2 years sail for free but MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR! Once you’ve completed your booking, please reach out via email to reservations@manhattanbysail.com to add a ticket for your infant – otherwise we will not be able to accommodate your full party.

TERMS FOR USING YOUR NEW YORK PASS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Pass entitles you to a free or discounted sailing IF you CHECK IN at least 15 minutes prior to your confirmed departure time WITH A VALID PASS.
DUE TO LIMITED CAPACITY, your booking takes the spot of another paying customer (think of it like a theater or sporting event ticket). Manhattan By Sail (”MBS”), WILL NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT from the pass company if you do not present a valid pass at the time of departure. This is how the pass works.
MBS will place a hold on your card (similar to a hotel or rental car reservation) for the LISTED RETAIL PRICE. This held amount will be charged IF — FOR ANY REASON — you do not show up with a VALID PASS at the date and time of departure that is specified in your confirmation email from MBS. IF your card is INVALID or is REJECTED when MBS attempts to place the manual hold on the card provided by you, MBS will cancel your booking and notify you with a cancellation email. No further communication will be forthcoming from MBS.
Bookings with a pass CANNOT BE CANCELLED. They can be rescheduled free of charge up to one week prior to departure date. They can be rescheduled with a fee up to 72 hours prior to your departure time. Once within the 72 hour window, no changes can be made to your booking. Please understand that IF you do not SHOW UP or your PASS is INVALID at the time of departure, MBS will not receive payment from the pass company and the card you provided will be charged the FULL, non-discounted, RETAIL PRICE.
Please DO NOT book if this is not acceptable to you. If you still decide to risk being charged, we welcome you to reserve in advance and are excited to deliver you an awesome experience! 🤗
