Learning to sail in Rockaway is optimal; consistent ocean breeze, cooler summer temperatures and very low boat traffic. Combine these benefits with the fact that you can easily go to the beach all in the same day, and you've got a prime experience awaiting you. Other sailing outfits in NYC are in mostly wind-blocked areas rife with boat traffic and sketchy currents.
Sail Rockaway is happy to provide personal recommendations for its former students as they seek to progress their sailing career on bigger boats throughout the world.
