“The ’boutique’ school, where we give you MORE of what you go to sailing school for!”SM
We offer a wide range of courses from Basic to Bareboat and beyond. Need to start from scratch, or get a serious refresher? Our fun and comprehensive Start Sailing course (ASA 101) is offered frequently at our City Island base from April through October. Need to step it up a notch? Take one of our cruising or navigation courses locally this season (103-106). Want to vacation while doing it? Join one of our instructional sailing vacations in the Mediterranean or Caribbean in the fall or winter.
City Island has the finest sailing and training waters in the region. There’s a reason it’s home to two sailing schools, two college sailing teams, and several yacht clubs! We’re half the length of Manhattan away from it, and easy to get to by public or car from all Boroughs and much of the Tri-State area. And once you’re here, it’s all fun and productive sailing with no time wasted getting to good waters.
We KEEP you sailing, too, with our fleet ranging from Beneteau First 21.0’s (same sailing design as the ASA First Trainer) to our Pearson 31 and 10M yachts. We rent our boats to our graduates – a testament to our confidence in how we train our clients – and we also offer a seasonal Sailing Club to maximize your sailing time and value.
Browse our web site; check out our reviews and history. See some pics and clips of our students in action, including broadcast and cable features of our program. You’ll learn why you can’t get a better education – or value – anywhere else!
