Hudson River Brunch Sailing Excursion

Cruising the New York waters

has become our favorite “quick fix” for both adventure and relaxation. As you ease out of the marina and into the waters of the Hudson Bay, the noise from the city quickly vanishes, replaced by the sounds of the sails flapping, water splashing and champagne corks popping.

For those who want more than a relaxing sail, we would love to show you the ropes, literally! Learn first-hand how to raise the sails and even man the helm. Sailing terms like “port” and “starboard” will soon become part of your vocabulary. The captain might yell, “ease the main sheet!” and you will know what to do. You will feel a sense of growth and accomplishment as you help navigate the waters with your new skills.

If your speed is more casual, sit back and take in spectacular views of the world’s most famous skyline. Don’t forget your camera because you will want to capture these memories.

Beer, wine and soft drinks are provided on the ship. You may also bring your brunch or snacks for the journey.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
