Where Teams Compete, Connect, and Come Alive
Step out of the office and into one of the most unique corporate experiences in New York Harbor.
The Manhattan Yacht Club Corporate Sailing League is not just a weekly event—it’s a platform for companies to build stronger teams, deepen client relationships, and create lasting memories on the water.
Why Companies Love It
Fresh air. Friendly competition. Real connection.
In a world of Zoom calls and conference rooms, sailing delivers something different—something real.
Your team will:
- Work together under pressure in a dynamic environment
- Experience the thrill of competition in a supportive, social atmosphere
- Build trust and camaraderie that carries back into the workplace
At Manhattan Yacht Club, our philosophy is simple: camaraderie ahead of competition—which creates an environment that is both exciting and welcoming.
A Turnkey Experience
No boat? No problem.
We provide everything your team needs:
- Professionally maintained boats and race management
- Safety equipment and on-water support
- Easy onboarding for beginners and seasoned sailors alike
Your employees and clients simply show up with a skipper—and we take care of the rest.
How It Works
A simple format designed for busy professionals.
- Weekly evening races in New York Harbor
- Teams represent their company throughout the season
- Points accumulate toward a championship
- Post-race gatherings to relax, connect, and celebrate
It’s structured enough to create real competition—but flexible enough to keep it fun and social.
Entertain Clients Like Never Before
Forget the typical dinner or event space.
Bring your clients onto the water for:
- A shared, unforgettable experience
- A natural setting for conversation and relationship-building
- A unique perspective of New York Harbor at sunset
This is hospitality elevated—interactive, memorable, and distinctly New York.
The Setting
Your “conference room” is New York Harbor.
With views of the Statue of Liberty, the skyline, and the open water, your team will sail in one of the most iconic environments in the world—while being part of the largest and most active sailing community in the harbor.
More Than Racing
The experience doesn’t end at the finish line.
After each race, teams gather at the clubhouse to unwind, share stories, and build connections beyond the workplace. These moments—casual, social, and authentic—are where real relationships are formed.
Who Should Join
- Companies looking to strengthen internal culture
- Teams seeking meaningful, shared experiences
- Firms entertaining clients in a unique way
- Leaders who want something better than another happy hour
Manhattan Yacht Club is located at 140 Dudley St in Jersey City. This is the best sailing center in NY Harbor. The club is easily reached by PATH subway as well as ferries. At the end of a night, there are plenty of Ubers/Lyfts to take you anywhere.

A Second Option for Some Companies – One Day Corporate Regattas
Bring your whole firm or your best clients to race on one afternoon or evening.
In addition to our weekly Corporate Sailing League, some companies book a fleet of boats for a one-day sailing event. One Day Corporate Regattas usually begin with sailing instruction and then end with a fun and informal race. Corporate Regattas can be organized anytime during the day. On evenings, they can be organized on Mondays, Thursdays or Fridays. The minimum number of boats for a corporate event is 3 and the maximum is 15, depending on the day.
