New York Harbor Sailing

The waterfront at Battery Park feels miles from the skyline once you’re past slip lines and tall masts. New York Harbor Sailing keeps a full roster of short courses for beginners learning to tack, intermediate sailors polishing cruising drills, and weekday sunset sails that run May through October. They also host custom charters for private rentals and a quick one-day course to prep for the ASA 104 certification; on-water-only drills keep every session hands-on. The school sits inside the 385 South End Avenue marina block at 385 S End Ave New York, NY 10280. Want specifics or to lock in a spot? Call 212-786-0400. A quick anchor to the map directions saves time if you’re rolling in from the West Side Highway.
