SV First Light at Phila Sail

About this space

The cockpit is the gathering space, with open seating and clear views of the Delaware River, the bridges, and the skyline. Below deck, a cabin with snacks, drinks, and water. All safety equipment is included, and the captain handles the sailing while you host your guests.

"I want to find a romantic sunset location." Phila Sail runs sunset cruises on the Delaware River aboard SV First Light, sailing from the Penn's Landing area, with views of the Philadelphia skyline and the Ben Franklin Bridge from the water

"I'm fascinated by Philadelphia's history, can I learn about the waterfront on a boat tour?" Our historic waterfront tour tells the story of the Philadelphia waterfront, *from the water*, its landmarks and Black maritime history, a three-hour sail to Fort Mifflin and back

"Is there a charter boat on the Delaware River?" Phila Sail is Philadelphia's only sailboat charter on the Delaware River, running boat rides and private charters from the Penn's Landing area

"Can you book a boat for a private event or a proposal?" The whole boat books private for proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, photo shoots, and small gatherings

"Is this a good place to do engagement photo shoots in Philadelphia?" A sailboat deck with the Philadelphia skyline behind you is a location almost nobody has. Bring your own photographer; the river and city do the rest

"What is there to do on the Delaware River during the day?" During our Day Sail on the Delaware River, the boat sails with the wind and tide, up to six guests, city and waterfront in view

"Where does the sailboat leave from in Philadelphia, and what will I see on the river?" Phila Sail departs from the Penn's Landing area. Out on the Delaware River you'll see the skyline, the Ben Franklin Bridge, Petty Island, and the Camden waterfront

"What's the difference between a private Sunset Sail and a seat on a public one?" Same sunset cruise either way. Buy seats on a shared sail, or book the whole boat private for your group
