Tours take place in Jamaica Bay. On the very edge of NYC, Jamaica Bay is an estuary nearly twice the area of Manhattan. Steady ocean breeze and peaceful open surroundings make for fantastic sailing and some spectacular sunsets. The sailboat is the unique Norfolk Oyster "Christina".
Our cruising ground is an expansive array of small bays, marked channels, sandy shorelines and mixed parkland. Every sailing tour is a minimum of 2 hours covering at least 6+ miles round trip. Wind and tide will help decide our course for the day.
The nearby JoCo Marsh remains the largest example of the last surviving original hydrography of Jamaica Bay. Tall grass marshlands line the banks of several winding creeks that provide critical habitat to the birds and aquatic species which live here.

Elsewhere along the route we can drop anchor or beach the boat at one of several picturesque and secluded areas.
Swimming is an option.
Passengers are given the chance to try their hand at sailing the boat during the tour if they wish.

Feel free to bring food and drinks.
Alcohol is fine as well. Wine & Liquor are best, beer not so much. The boat lacks a head (toilet), so bathroom breaks are tricky. Binoculars and bluetooth speaker aboard for passenger use. Cooler and ice available upon request. |
