Sailing NYC in Style: A Summer Escape with The Mark Hotel

The Mark Hotel in New York is among our favorites when visiting the Big Apple. Tucked along Madison Avenue, just steps from Central Park, The Mark is a beacon of Upper East Side sophistication. Located in a 1927 Renaissance Revival building, the hotel underwent a dazzling reinvention in 2009 under the eye of celebrated designer Jacques Grange. Today, its interiors—polished black-and-white marble floors, bold contemporary art, and bespoke furnishings—strike the perfect balance between classic elegance and cutting-edge cool.
But come summertime, The Mark makes a real splash, offering guests a chance to see New York from the water on a vessel fit for royalty!

Whether it's a 2-week escape or a 2-day weekend getaway, TravelAnne is here to make it happen.
In a city that thrives on spectacle, The Mark Hotel offers a summer experience as rare and refined as New York itself: an exclusive sunset sail aboard its stunning, custom-built 70-foot Herreshoff yacht, The Mark.
Each summer, this one-of-a-kind vessel—a living piece of maritime history—sets sail from Tribeca’s North Cove Marina, inviting guests on an unforgettable two-hour voyage through New York Harbor. Gliding past the Statue of Liberty and beneath the towering Manhattan skyline, The Mark promises a side of the city few ever get to see—intimate, romantic, and utterly cinematic.
Originally crafted in 1921 and designed by the legendary naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, The Mark is a masterpiece of American yacht design. Known for creating six America’s Cup defending yachts, Herreshoff’s genius lives on in this rare beauty. With its solid mahogany hull, Indian teak decks, and The Mark Hotel’s signature black-and-white striped sails and cushions, the yacht blends heritage craftsmanship with modern luxury.
Spacious enough for up to 25 guests, The Mark makes the ultimate setting for a private summer party, an elegant corporate gathering, or even an open-air wedding. (Yes, The Mark’s own Wedding Officiant can join you at sea to make your “I do’s” even more unforgettable.)
The onboard experience is equally polished. A full crew—including a captain, two sailors, and two servers—caters to every whim, while gourmet bites by Michelin-starred Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and The Mark’s acclaimed Caviar Kaspia restaurant elevate the evening. Picture yourself savoring tuna tartare crostini, oysters on the half shell, spiced chicken samosas, and miniature smoked salmon sandwiches with dill crème, all paired with wines hand-selected by The Mark’s Head Sommelier.
It’s a perfect expression of The Mark’s signature style—timeless, indulgent, and one step ahead of even the most discerning traveler’s expectations.
When you work with TravelAnne, you have one of the best in the business on your side.
