Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We are located on Pier 66 inside Hudson River Park across the West Side Highway at 26th Street and the Hudson River. We are 20 feet m=north of the Pier 66 Maritime bar/restaurant.
What happens if it rains?
Being a maritime school we want all to experience all the moods the sea's have. With that consideration, we believe that sailing in the rain are the sails you'll remember, especially if the wind is up. We will not sail if lighting/thunder has been identified or other any threatening weather scenario. We do not sail in winds over 25 knots either. We will contact you if your sail has been cancelled due to weather issues.
What do I need to bring for my sail?
Wear a pair of sneakers (preferably light soled shoes), sun screen and a bottle of water.
How early should I book my sail?
You can schedule as early as 10 minutes prior to your sail yet it is best to schedule at least 3 days in advance either via online or by phone.
What happens if I cancel within 3 days of my sail?
How many people fit on a boat?
Can I rent a boat?
Am I going to get wet?
Who is eligible to be involved in the different youth programs?
We try to make our programs available to as many students as possible. In our Accredited After School Program we recruit freshman students who attend one of the 7 local Chelsea public high schools we have partnered with. Due to the logistics of getting over to our boathouse everyday by 3:45-4pm we have limited our recruitment to these our immediate area. If you have an interest in being involved and can get here on time please reach out.
Our summer program City Sail, if open to all. Please inquire here: CitySail
