Out-And About City Cycling and More

New York has recently adopted a very bike-friendly attitude. The group, Bike and Roll NYC, has available approximately 2,000 bikes for both individual rentals and/or guided tours.  These tours include planned stops. The group arranges for you to visit a particular place of interest e.g. museum, gallery and make time for lunch. This is a great way to get your group out of the meeting room and revitalized between sessions!

If you and other members of your group prefer sailing, Manhattan by Sail provides you several unique opportunities. Why not get on board a tall ship, the Shearwater. This is a classic schooner, 80 years of age capable of accommodating 48.  Alternatively, you can opt for, the Clipper City. This topsail schooner can seat 150.

If this type of sailing is not your preference, look to World Yacht. Their fleet of four yachts is available for private charters and special events.

Whatever the decision – boat, bike or foot, keep in mind that Royal Coachman Worldwide can get you and your group to where you want to go in New York City and in the New York City/New Jersey Metro area.
