Get to Know the Neighborhood!

Classic Harbor Line in New York City is located in Chelsea, just a few blocks north of the quaint and narrow streets of the charming West Village. If you're looking to make an entire day out of your sailing experience without traveling all over the city, why not get to know the neighborhood by signing up for a scavenger hunt?

This month, Watson Adventures is hosting two West Village scavenger hunts - a "Munch Around the West Village" hunt, and a family-friendly "Ghosts of the West Village" hunt. The Munch hunt will send you to the best food in the neighborhood, and the ghost hunt arms you with a flashlight and clues guide you to hidden cemeteries and haunted buildings. The tour touches on the ghosts of well-known writers, such as Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain.

We at Classic Harbor Line have tried the murder mystery hunt at the Met Museum - there are hunts all over the city - and highly recommend it! New York City scavenger hunt registration can be done online or by phone.

Of course, you don't always need a scavenger hunt to see extraordinary things. Check out this adorable photo we recently snapped of a seal on the Harlem River!


Though the baby seal definitely wound up in the wrong spot, it didn't seem to be worried and was lounging in the sun as the yacht Manhattan drove by. Classic Harbor Line Captain Aaron Singh called the news of the seal into authorities so it could be rescued and brought to a safer place.
