Why We Love This Unique Experience

New York City Experience Gifts: Take the “Admiral’s Launch” to Manhattan Yacht Club’s iconic floating clubhouse.

There’s no doubt about it, the Honorable William Wall is the best place to enjoy summer in the city. Affectionately known as “Willy Wall”, Manhattan Yacht Club’s floating clubhouse offers ringside seats to the regular sailboat races, as well as the best views of the skyline and NYC’s epic sunsets. Pop on some festive nautical attire and head down to Manhattan Yacht Club, where the Admiral’s Launch departs every half hour for Willy Wall. Grab yourself a spot on the upper deck, a glass of something cold, and take in the amazing views, the Statue of Liberty, and all the sailing action. While you’re likely to enjoy lots of sunshine during the summer months, the upper deck is covered and downstairs is enclosed, so you’ll be able to enjoy yourself, whatever the weather. It’s worth noting that with a maximum capacity of 149, the Wall can fill up, so we’d recommend booking in advance. Buying a launch ticket guarantees you entry to the Wall. All launch tickets are on a return basis, so after you’ve had the most amazing day, you’ll sail back to where you boarded, ready for an evening in the Big Apple.

The Honorable William Wall experience would make a fantastic gift for anybody looking for a great day out, especially if they have an interest in sailing.

Experience Overview:

New York Boat Trip To Manhattan Yacht Club’s Floating Clubhouse

The Honorable William Wall is the floating clubhouse of the Manhattan Yacht Club. MYC was founded in 1987 and re-introduced recreational sailing to New York Harbor. In 2012, MYC opened the doors of its innovative clubhouse to the public in an effort to share our love of sailing with you.

Our clubhouse is the perfect platform to watch our sailing races, which take place every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, and Saturday afternoons. The sailing season and our clubhouse is open from May through October.

Affectionately known as the “Willy Wall,” our clubhouse is an elegant steel barge with an open-air upper deck, and a fully enclosed lower level lounge. The Willy Wall is anchored in New York Harbor just north of Ellis Island. The location boasts spectacular views of the New York City skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the surrounding waters. It has been featured in The New York Times, Time Out NY, the Village Voice and was voted Lower Manhattan's #1 Secret Treasure.

Details & Important Info

Additional Experience Details & Important Information

When to Show up

Your ticket shows your launch and return time. Please show up at least 5 minutes before your launch so you have enough time to check-in. If you miss the boat, don't worry. We will get you out as soon as space opens up on a launch.

Special "Manhattan Tickets"

If you booked one of the "Special Manhattan Tickets" which are offered on weekdays, please arrive at the Brookfield ferry terminal at least 5 minutes before your scheduled departure on the yellow "Little Lady" ferry. Check in with the Honorable William Wall representative in front of the Little Lady slip and you will receive your free ferry voucher. You ride on the ferry with our representative and get off at the first stop "Warren St." Then walk 2 blocks to the Manhattan Yacht Club. This ferry stops running early so at the end of the night, you return to Manhattan by PATH, Uber or Lyft or NY Waterway Ferry.

What to Wear

We encourage you to wear festive summer and nautical clothes. Please wear flat shoes and not high heels, because you have to climb up and down boarding ladders and stairs.

What to Bring

We encourage you to bring your own food, snacks and picnic, but all drinks must be purchased onboard. Also bring something warm to wear after the sun sets, or buy one of the iconic Willy Wall sweatshirts onboard.

Honorable William Wall

The Honorable William Wall is the floating clubhouse of Manhattan Yacht Club. Manhattan Yacht Club was founded in 1987 and re-introduced recreational sailing to New York Harbor.

During its incredible history, the Club has been very innovative and created many “firsts.” The Honorable William Wall is one of these. Most sailboat races used to take place out in the water where people cannot see. MYC envisioned a spectator platform where people could come out and watch the races. This has been a huge success and has grown the sport of sailing in New York Harbor. After watching the races, many people decide to take sailing lessons. Now the Willy Wall concept is being copied by other clubs and organizations around the country.

The Honorable William Wall is a 90 ft steel barge with an open-air upper deck. The Clubhouse is anchored in New York Harbor just north of Ellis Island. The Clubhouse offers incredible views for watching the sailboat races.

Manhattan Yacht Club has opened its Clubhouse to the public since 2012. The Clubhouse is one of the most affordable ways for people to visit and enjoy the harbor.
