Manhattan Sailing School

Get outdoors, breath fresh air, best summer weekend, bucket list photo, manhattan sailing school is….

…located right here in New York Harbor.

Our amazing instructors love sailing and want to share their passion with you. You will meet lots of active and engaged people. Sailing will unlock a new world of adventure, recreation and excitement.

After your course, you can join Manhattan Yacht Club, sail more and make lots of new friends. Then in the fall, you can join our trip to Bermuda. And next winter, you will be sailing with us in the Caribbean!

It all starts here with Basic Sailing.

Start with Basic Sailing

Learn to sail in one weekend. Basic Sailing is taught Saturday & Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm each day. Weekday classes are also offered on Monday & Tuesdays or Thursday & Fridays.

Tuition for Basic Sailing is $590. There are also group discounts – 5% for 2 people, 10% for 3, and 15% for 4. Tuition includes certification to the American Sailing Association Basic Sailing Standard.

On the schedule page, you can click on any course number to see how many people have already signed up and how many spots are still available. Sign up now before your course sells out!

Make this your best summer ever! Don’t wait any longer. Get outside, get active, have fun!

Best Summer Weekend

Sailing is a very social sport and attracts great people. You will have fun, meet other sailors and discover new friends.

Our student instructor ratio is 4 to 1. And we normally teach between 5 and 10 boats every weekend. So you will be part of a group of 20 to 40 students who are all learning to sail. At the end of each day, we encourage you to hang out and have a cold drink. This is when you can really savor the sailing vibe, meet more people and develop a great love for this sport.

After graduating from Basic Sailing, you will be ready for your next steps. One of the best options is to join Manhattan Yacht Club. This will connect you with the harbor’s largest group of sailors and you will have something to do every weekend for the rest of the summer. MYC has great cruising and racing programs, plus a floating clubhouse in the harbor.

You can also sign up for advanced courses such as Basic Coastal Cruising. Then in winter, you can join your fellow graduates at “Manhattan Caribbean Week” which is one week of fun, sun and sailing in the British Virgin Islands.

It all starts with you here and now. Just sign up before the course you want sells out.

Our Locations

In summer, we teach in New York Harbor. You will be sailing in front of the Statue of Liberty and skyline of Manhattan. Bring your camera for some super-cool selfies.

We have 2 summer meet-up locations where students connect with their instructors.

• Jersey City MEET UP – This is our headquarters and home of the Manhattan Yacht Club, the largest sailing organization in New York Harbor. Our fleet is based at Liberty Harbor Marina. We have beautiful decks overlooking the water, plus picnic tables, grass, flagpoles, games, tents, BBQs & a sailing atmosphere where you can relax with new friends before and after sailing.
• Manhattan MEET UP – Our second meet-up location is in Lower Manhattan at the Occulus. This is where you meet one of our instructors who will escort you across the river on the PATH where you will discover huge marinas filled with sailboats. This is NY Harbor’s sailing capital! It’s an easy and short 8 minute walk from the PATH station to the Manhattan Yacht Club.

In winter, we teach in the Caribbean with most classes in the British Virgin Islands. This is where you can enroll in higher level courses such as Basic Coastal Cruising, Bareboat Chartering and Catamaran Chartering.

Sailing is an incredible sport which will change your life, introduce you to new friends, make you happy, and take you traveling to great spots around the world. Manhattan Sailing School is your entry to the world of sailing. Start by signing up for Basic Sailing.

It is conveniently located near walking and bike paths, Divvy stations, public transportation, and directly on scenic Lake Shore Drive. Downtown Chicago can be a little difficult to navigate if you are unfamiliar with the levels below the surface. From the South Suburbs Take the Stevenson (I-55) north to Lake Shore Drive. Take Lake Shore Drive North to Randolph. Stay in the middle lane of the exit ramp, drive through the light to the service drive under Lake Shore Drive. Member parking is directly under the northbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive; non-member parking is at the end of the service drive in the DuSable Harbor parking lot. From the West Suburbs Take the Eisenhower (I-290) towards the Loop, where the Eisenhower turns into Congress Parkway until it ends at Columbus Drive (Buckingham Fountain is straight ahead). Turn left (north) on Columbus Drive, at Randolph Street turn right (east). Stay in the middle lanes and go under Lake Shore Drive. At the last light on Randolph (if you went any further you’d be in the Lake) turn left (north). Member parking is directly under the northbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive; non-member parking is at the end of the service drive in the DuSable Harbor parking lot. From the North Suburbs Take the Kennedy (I-90, I-94) to Ohio Street, exit east (the only way to go from exit). Take Ohio through the city to Fairbanks (turns into Columbus Dr.). Turn right (south) on Fairbanks and drive to Randolph (you will be under a bridge at this point). Turn left (east) on Randolph. At the last light on Randolph (if you went any further you’d be in the Lake) turn left (north).

Member parking is directly under the northbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive; non-member parking is at the end of the service drive in the DuSable Harbor parking lot. The lot directly adjacent to the ship is for Columbia Yacht Club members only, who pay for a seasonal parking pass (people without a pass will likely be towed). You may access the DuSable Harbor Parking lot by entering the frontage road off lower Randolph Street. The city of Chicago regulates parking - a credit card machine assesses lot fees. For alternative parking you can use  Field Harbor , reasonably priced for the downtown area. Cab or Car Share The address to Columbia Yacht Club is 111 N Lake Shore Dr., Chicago IL 60601. It is easiest to get dropped off in the circle at the end of Randolph Street and the lakefront.  There are bike racks to lock up your bike just east of the gang ramp of the main entrance of the ship MV Abegweit. Summer Season If you do wish to come in, you are welcome to pull into the Columbia parking lot for 15 minutes while you drop off your sailor. If you leave your vehicle unattended in the traffic circle, it is at your own risk.
