Us:
We're a boutique sailing company in the biggest city in the U.S., offering adult lessons, private luxury charters and kids' programs. Even though we're seasonal, folks enjoy working with us—so much so that many return for several seasons. Want to make good money while honing your sailing skills with the iconic NYC skyline as your backdrop? Let's talk!
The job:
Share your love of sailing with up to 24 young sailors (9-15 years old) of varying abilities by teaching them how to sail our J/24 keelboats in a safe, fun way, with a team of up to 4 fellow instructors.
Location: Tribeca, NYC. We sail in the Hudson River and in New York Harbor
Dates: Mon-Fri, 8a-4p June-August, 2025 (flexible start and end dates)
If you'll be moving to NYC for the summer, we can be boots on the ground to help you secure housing.
