The Nyack Boat Club is a member-owned and operated sailing club, with programs and facilities available to its members and their guests. As noted below, we have two kinds of membership; General which is a full membership, and Special Activities, which is a program for new sailors who want to learn to sail, those who are unsure if membership is right for them, and for anyone who doesn't own a boat and wants to try the club for a year. We also have programs for teaching both adults and school-age children how to sail. If you're considering membership, we'd love to hear from you.
