WELCOME! We're on a Mission...
...to provide the finest sailing instruction available at any price - something we started doing in 1968.  Our family is an award-winning industry leader.  We combine decades of owner-operation with fresh enthusiasm, and we have more real, hands-on experience than perhaps any other school.

Our logos might be goofy, but our sailing is serious.  That's why this woman is singlehanding!  Yes, you'll do that with us, but not with other schools.  Sound intimidating?  Don't worry - it's actually fun, just like our equally effective Obstacle Coursesm - another NYSC exclusive.
We're a Certification Facility for both. 

 
Browse around this site; watch a few of our video clips.
You'll quickly learn why you can't get a better sailing school education - OR value - anywhere else!

 

...for boats owners, our yacht club offers excellent mooring facilities with launch service at our City Island anchorage - one of the most attractive and protected in the region, and the Island's finest.  New York Sailing Center has been a practical alternative to expensive marina slips and traditional private yacht clubs for 26 years - with no initiation fees or assessments.
