Intro to Sailing

Our Introduction to Sailing allows you to discover the wonderful world of sailing through one-on-one instruction. This three-hour private lesson is taught through a hands-on approach and designed to give you a comprehensive overview of one of the world’s oldest and most rewarding sports. You will be at the helm of the boat from the get go and will leave the lesson with practical, basic skills that enable you to operate with control and confidence on the water.

Three hours scheduled at your convenience. Usually taught in the evenings—take advantage of these lessons right after work! Our sailing lessons depart from Pier 25 Marina in Tribeca.
