City Island Junior Sailing

was created to instruct young people in sailing on the Eastchester Bay. We teach our children about the balance of forces in nature and help them appreciate the wonderful world in which we live. The program is certified by US Sailing, and each child receives a US Sailing Certification of Accomplishment at the end of the program. Founded by City Island Yacht Club, a home for sailors for the past 114 years.
