About Us
We're a boutique sailing company right in the city's backyard, offering adult lessons, private luxury charters and kids' programs.
Whether we're showing students the ropes in our youth and adult sailing school or helping to create the perfect marriage proposal on our charter boat, we remind everyone that a mini-escape from the city is just offshore. It's a mindset we call "Manhattan Island Life."
Founded in 2006, we're now Manhattan's oldest sailing school, operating seasonally, May-September.
We're small but mighty, employing about 10 captains, instructors and crew each year, roughly half full-time and half-part time.
