Classic Harbor Line expands to North Cove Marina!
Classic Harbor Line expands to North Cove Marina in Battery Park City starting April 2018. One of the smaller classic wooden yachts 
from the fleet will offer excursions departing from North Cove throughout the season until October. Expect to see the 54-foot yacht KINGSTON (1920s-inspired, plumb-bowed, fan-tailed Scarano Boat Building design) or the newest addition to the fleet, a 65-foot restored 1950s Grebe Yacht, FULL MOON. Each of these yachts is ideal for up to 40 guests and will feature a bar and comfortable seating and ambiance. Not only are these yachts perfect for a private charter but to enjoy an evening out on the water after work in NY Harbor for a NYC sunset cruise with friends and co-workers.
What is a Grebe Yacht?
Henry C. Grebe & Company was the successor to Great Lakes Boat Building, which had started in Milwaukee in 1915 and moved to Chicago in 1921. Grebe was famous for the style and quality of the leisure yachts he designed and built. It was located on the west side of the North Branch of the Chicago River, just north of the West Belmont Avenue Bridge. They built their last boat in 1970 but did not finally close until 1994.
The Grebe yacht acquired by Classic Harbor Line, Full Moon, was a 65 foot production in 1950. Another 65 foot production they completed a decade later, was “Florencia”, later renamed, “Sam’s Place”, which was obtained by the famous actor and comedian, Jerry Lewis. Jerry used the boat for leisure and relaxing with family in the San Diego area. This photo of “Sam’s Place” is comparable to the spirit and look of Full Moon once she is fully restored.
