The Honorable William Wall

The Willy Wall is essentially a floating steel barge out in New York Harbor (Video), just a short distance north of Ellis Island. It offers extraordinary views over the skyscrapers and skyline of NYC itself, as well as being a wonderful place to watch the sailing races, which run each week during sailing season.

Due to its prime location in the New York Harbor, the Willy Wall clubhouse enjoys astonishing views over the city skyline and the surrounding harbor area. There’s no other easy way to see such incredible views of NYC, so you’ll definitely want to bring your camera along and take a few snaps to share with your friends and family back home.

Getting to the Willy Wall from NYC or elsewhere around the local area is very easy, and it's all thanks to the Admiral’s Launch. This boat essentially acts as a taxi or shuttle, conveniently taking guests over to the Willy Wall from the Warren Street Pier in Jersey City. If you're visiting the Willy Wall from Manhattan, your Willy Wall ticket will also provide free transport via the Liberty Landing Ferry over to Jersey City, making it very easy to get to the clubhouse. website
