Nyack Boat Club Open House

by

Join us at the Nyack Boat Club and discover how you can get out on the water this summer—no boat required. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced sailor, we welcome you to explore all the Club has to offer.

📍 59 Gedney Street, Nyack, NY (Street parking available)

Meet our members, tour our beautiful clubhouse, and learn how to sail with us in the 2026 season. We’re happy to answer your questions and help you find the right program or membership.

Seasonal memberships are available, along with a wide range of opportunities for both adults and youth:

Junior Sailing (ages 8–16): One of the largest programs on the Hudson River, offering summer sessions with hands-on instruction in Optimists and Club 420s.

Ideal 18 Program: A full-season adult program with instruction, racing, social sailing, and access to club-owned boats.

Sunset Sailing: Relaxed Thursday evening sails in June and July, with on-the-water learning and social time afterward.

More Ways to Sail: Private lessons, casual sailing in Zest dinghies, and use of club kayaks.

Our clubhouse is active year-round, hosting social events, educational programs, and gatherings—even in the off-season. In the summer, enjoy racing twice a week and stunning river views from our decks alongside great company, food, and drink.

Help us plan ahead by registering for a session (walk-ins are welcome too).

Come see what sailing on the Hudson is all about—we’d love to welcome you aboard.
