Our location , once seen, speaks for itself. We have perhaps the finest teaching waters anywhere, with no time wasted getting to them. New York Sailing Center is located in a residential community on City Island, where you'll enjoy learning to sail protected from natural and man-made disturbances such as wind shears, strong currents, and commercial shipping traffic. Manhattanites can hardly believe they're still in New York City. Yet, we're less than the length of Manhattan away from it, and commuting is quick and easy - even by public transit.
Drivers can park free on-site.
We can usually pick you up at the station. The ride from Manhattan is typically 45 minutes to 1 hour. We offer a full variety of courses to satisfy everyone from the would-be sailor to the aspiring racer. We can also teach you on your own boat, or on our cruising auxiliaries. Racing is also availalbe on our fleet of Beneteau First 210's.
