We’re exploring Long Island Sound this season from our new home base on City Island. Dotted with islands and lighthouses, and surrounded by deepwater harbors and historic coastal towns, it’s hard to find a better place to sail.

Every trip is bespoke. Whether you want to go for a relaxing sail, jump in for a swim, or sharpen your heavy weather sail handling, we’ll build the day around you.

For those who have never visited, City Island makes the perfect day trip, and is accessible by public transit. If it weren't for the city buses, you might think you were in a costal fishing town instead of The Bronx. The island has a storied maritime history and has been a center of sailing and boatbuilding for generations. In fact it is where our boat, Tantara, was built.

We’re offering daysails, sailing lessons and instruction, and longer one-way trips and adventures. Our recreational sails are about spending a day out on the water. Our educational sails focus on advanced skills, such as handling a large boat and coastal navigation. Our longer sails take you somewhere - whether you want to experience the passage itself or simply arrive in style. The Hamptons, Long Island’s North Shore, and the Connecticut coast are all within reach.

Our Boat:
Tantara was designed and built right here in NYC. She's a true local, crafted by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and constructed at Minneford Yacht Yard on City Island.  Both were giants of the sailing world - their previous collaboration won the America's Cup twice.

Tantara is a thoroughbred ocean racer - built to tackle anything the ocean could throw at her, she gives a very stable ride and will never meet anything she can't handle.  She's also comfortable and spacious, boasting a generous 44 feet of open deck space to lounge and enjoy a relaxing cruise.

The Captain:
Sam has been sailing since he was 12, starting off on the Lake Michigan in Chicago. He went to college in Maine, but he's been in NYC for over a dec
