A message from our Captain... _______ Manhattan by Sail started sailing 19 years ago in June 2001. We opened operations at the World Trade Center's marina in Lower Manhattan a few months before 9/11. With the dedication of our captains and crew we made it through those difficult times, and are proud to have taken nearly 1,000,000 guests sailing on New York Harbor.... As it has to so many many others, the impact of COVID-19 is devastating. The revenue from our preseason ticket sales funds the start up of our season each year. The uncertainty and the limitation on public gatherings has understandably caused that crucial part of our business to dry up. We are working diligently to keep our crew employed during this difficult time. Manhattan by Sail is offering 50% off all public sailings booked through March 31st. Any reservations made now will also be able to be rescheduled, at no additional cost. Use promotional code SAIL2020 to book either a reservation or a gift certificate on www.manhattanbysail.com. All funds generated during this special offer period will be used to keep our captains and crew employed. It has been an honor sailing with you over the past two decades. And we look forward to having you join us on New York Harbor soon. I think we could all use a little sunshine and sea breeze. All the best, Thomas Berton Founder Manhattan by Sail https://mailchi.mp/manhat/manhattan-by-sail-needs-your-help Mayor Bill de Blasio NYC Mayor's Office Downtown Magazine NYC Margaret S. Chin
