AN ULTIMATE LOCATION FOR FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Liz Hurley aboard The Shearwater

Planning to shoot a film, television show, commercial, video or fashion spread here in New York?

Shearwater Sailing is right Downtown, at Battery Park City's North Cove Marina, so you don't have to travel all the way to Annapolis or the Florida Keys for classy nautical surroundings. You can stay right here in Gotham and take advantage of the New York talent pool.

Whether it's for beauty shots or "New York for New Yorkers," Shearwater Sailing's classic 1929 schooner has a background and atmosphere unlike any other. There is no better way to enjoy the sights and sounds of New York's Harbor than from the decks of our magnificent and classic 82 foot sailboat.

The vessel is USCG certified to carry 48 passengers. She is built from Georgia Pine with brass and marble furnishings, offering an elegant atmosphere that only a 1920's era yacht can deliver.


Her exterior features flawlessly maintained brightwork, magnificent large polished brass portholes and chrome trim. Her large teak decks offer extensive seating and relaxing areas. There is sleeping for twelve. The interior is reminiscent of a bygone era, finely finished in exotic hardwoods. A spiral staircase leads down to the mahogany paneled passageway, past staterooms beautifully decorated with period furnishings and into an elegant salon with leaded glass cabinets, coal-burning stove, traditional butterfly hatches and large gimbaled table. There is an exquisite "head," or bathroom, finished in marble.

We're a museum…and so much more! Picture yourself here!
