“What a wonderful day on the water! We booked this excursion for our daughter’s birthday. Captain Jarad met us and brought us out to this gorgeous sailboat/schooner. We don’t sail much, so we were briefed on protocols and we were then off into Jamaica Bay. Serene, beautiful, and amazing sights. We got to swim, toasted some champagne and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

“Jarad and his first mate Arden sailed us from St Thomas to Cinnamon Bay on St John where we enjoyed some fantastic snorkeling! After a delicious lunch of homemade slaw and Cuban sandwiches we sailed a bit more to another beautiful snorkeling spot and then had a peaceful sail home with weather that could not have been more perfect! Christel was great at communicating and coordinating the trip for us. Truly a perfect day that ended with a beautiful rainbow! Can't wait to come back and do it again.”

“What a very special treat Family arriving from the four points of the compass in anticipation of a glorious sail to the Statue of Liberty. Jarad and Arden did not disappoint us. From the safety briefing, to the scrumptious lunch and snacks and sighting of the marvelous lady standing so tall our senses were overwhelmed by the skyline, the seashores, and the serendipity of traveling one of the worlds greatest cities secure and serenaded by the wash of the harbor on the hull. Thank you Jared and Arden for making an important family day such an overwhelmingly sensational experience.”

“Jarad is the man! Doesn't get better than going out on a clear blue sky with a steady 20 knots of wind and beautiful schooner splitting the water, with all the sails out. Definitely recommend!”

“My family and I had such a great time on the water with Yacht Rock Charters. Our crew (Jarad and Arden) were both pro sailers and also pros at hospitality - they made us feel very comfortable on their beautiful boat, even going so far as to provide a delicious snack with the BYO wine we brought. The sail itself was relaxing and lovely, and even though the weather was a little cloudy, we still fully enjoyed the sunset from the bay. Highly recommend this as a fun activity in Rockaway!”

“We had a great time exploring Jamaica Bay in Jarad’s skiff. He’s a friendly local who is very knowledgeable about the bay’s ecology and marine and bird life, as well as the area’s history and culture. We’ve been to NYC many times but this was a truly unique experience.”
