Motor vessel Karla offers a distinctive alternative to traditional sailing—perfect when you want to cover more water, enjoy faster cruising speeds, or prefer the power of twin engines beneath your feet.
The Karla Difference
Karla is New York’s only true convertible yacht, featuring a retractable canopy, open floor plan, and 360-degree harbor views. Like our sailboat Saga, Karla is USCG licensed for 6 passengers and includes the same premium amenities: outdoor deck lounges, indoor cabin seating for six, private bathroom, and full kitchenette. You’ll enjoy the same champagne & catering menus and white-glove service across both vessels.
Motor Yacht vs. Sailboat
Which Charter is Right for You?
Choose Motor Vessel Karla if you want:
- Faster cruising speeds (8-15 knots vs. 4-7 knots)
- More sightseeing in less time
- The thrill of twin-engine power
- Maximum flexibility with routes and timing
- Protection from wind with the retractable canopy
Choose Sailing Vessel Saga if you prefer:
- The romance and tradition of sailing
- A quieter, more serene experience on the water
- Wind-powered movement (with engine backup for convenience)
- The timeless elegance of a classic sailboat charter
Both vessels offer unforgettable private yacht experiences on New York Harbor. Your choice comes down to the pace and atmosphere you’re looking for—the exhilaration of a motor yacht or the tranquility of sailing under canvas.
