Well organized and great location. Our nonprofit hosted a sailing event here. All attendees gave positive reviews for the sailing school. The staff was friendly and attentive. The boats were in fine condition.

I had always wanted to sail, but my impression was that the cost and skill level of the sport was simply out of my reach. After experiencing Manhattan Sailing School, I have come to realize that I was completely mistaken. The primary focus of the organization and staff at Manhattan Sailing School is to get everyday people, who have no experience, involved in sailing, and they are doing a great job at it. Having absolutely no experience, I took the Basic Sailing course. From the time I signed up until the course was over, I felt completely comfortable, welcomed, and safe. The staff is extremely friendly and the instructors not only have a passion for sailing, but also are highly knowledgeable of the sport. Everyone in my crew had basically zero exposure to sailing. However, after two days, we all knew every part of the boat and could handle all of the rigging positions as well as actually steer the boat. Moreover, all of us easily passed the ASA certification test. Most importantly, sailing on the Hudson with the wind at your back is quite a rush, no matter what the weather. We sailed through all types of weather and water conditions, and we had fun throughout while remaining confident that our instructor could take over to fix a potentially harmful situation, in an instant. I could not be happier with the course or the price. I researched a lot of sailing schools before taking the basic sailing course, here. I can say confidently that Manhattan Sailing School is the best, on every level. Now, I am excited and ready to take my sailing experience to the next level!

Great sailing school. I've done some basic sailing in the past, but wanted to formalize it with the ASA sailing certification.

The school has the right balance of professionalism and fun.

BEST WEEKEND of the summer. I had so much fun learning to sail at the Manhattan Sailing School. My instructor was so knowledgeable and taught our class in such a relaxed and fun way. I felt I mastered the basics of sailing by the end of the weekend. On Sunday they a really fun graduation ceremony and party on Manhattan Sailing Club's clubhouse Arabella which is a 150 foot mega yacht sailboat. So incredible and I am joining the club next week. Highly recommend Manhattan Sailing School!

took their weekend class. while i enjoyed myself, there was just no way i was going to do this seriously enough to be my new hobby. tooling around in the harbor while an ocean liner approaches is intense.
