Junior Sailing

Sailing has been an integral part of our Club's history since its founding in 1899.  Sailing is not only a life sport, it is an activity that teaches children important life lessons. It helps to develop teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills that are essential for personal and professional growth. By participating in sailing, children are able to challenge themselves and grow in ways that will benefit them throughout their lives.

We have the best sailing venue on Barnegat Bay, a new fleet of RIBs, and a talented staff ready to provide the opportunity for new sailors to be part of a great history…and make their own.
