Description:

While away the afternoon aboard a replica 19th-century schooner. The perfect outing for beer-loving mariners, your harbor cruise comes complete with a tasting of local craft brews. Settle in beneath the sails to sample lagers, ales, porters, and pilsners as you drink in the city sights.

Step onto the deck of the Clipper City, a 158-foot-long (48-m) topsail schooner just like those that sailed New York's waters in the 1800s, when the burgeoning metropolis was booming as an economic hub. Find a spot on the sunny deck and feel the sea breeze as the crew throws off the lines and sets out into the waters along Manhattan's shore.

As you skim over the waves, expert beer guides—yup, that's a job—walk you through tastings of 5 different local brews. Pick up tips on how to taste like a pro and learn about the reinvigorated craft brewing scene that's taken the country by storm in recent years. Each of your samples comes from a different Big Apple brewery, so take notes on favorites that you want to scope out when you're back on dry land.

Soak up views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governor's Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge as you sip and sail. Nibble on a gourmet selection of fine cheeses and charcuterie from Stinky Cheese—Brooklyn's premier specialty foods shop—before your captain steers you back to shore.
