School of Wonder

NYC troubadour, explorer, & celebrant Born in Manhattan, living in Brooklyn, I have loved and studied the maritime history of NYC for half a century. I'm the author of two books about the city's cultural history, and have worked as a licensed tour guide here for the last decade, after a career as a college history professor. I have led tours for Jane's Walk, NYU, CCNY, and a dozen other NYC cultural institutions, and am the writer, director, and producer of Sailortown – an immersive theatrical experience in South Street Seaport.

We offer 90 minute harbor tours aboard a 1937 Elco Cruiser motor yacht. We visit the grand bridges of the East River and then pass the battery on our way to the Statue of Liberty. A selection of beer and wine is offered along with light snacks. Crown Goose, our yacht, can accommodate up to six guests on each tour. We have indoor and outdoor seating, climate control and two bathrooms.
