We are excited to be included with a few of our fellow sailors in an article about family sailing in New York City.
Family sailing lessons have a different vibe than group lessons with strangers. For starters, children are better students, said Miles Pincus, an owner of Atlantic Yachting, which offers, among other programs, a three-hour Introduction to Sailing for curious families.

Towards the end of last season we helped Intersection Magazine put together a nautical inspired fashion shoot. We took two boats out on the Hudson and shot on both of them with a stunning Manhattan backdrop. We finally got our hands on the published photos and uploaded them to our gallery. Have a look.

February 6th - February 13th
By the time February rolls around, we are ready for some sun and sail and we bet you are too!
Escape the cold of winter and join us for our first sailing vacation of 2010! We'll be traveling to the British Virgin Islands to sail its pristine turquoise waters and bask in tropical luxury. With endless beaches, idyllic islands, warm-hearted locals and an eclectic fun loving culture, the BVI is one of the best sailing destinations in the world.
Imagine 7 days relaxing aboard a luxury sailing yacht, swimming in crystal clear waters, exploring underwater shipwrecks, docking at island ports, delving into the vibrant culture of the islands, and kicking back on deck with friends and fresh rum cocktails at sunset.
Get a group of your friends together or come to make new friends! There is no better way to experience BVI than on our spectacular boats and with our skilled and friendly crew.

Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian, began her attempt at solo circumnavigation on Sunday when she left Sydney in her yacht. She plans on spending the next eight months at sea sailing some 28,000 miles around the world on her 10-meter boat, hoping to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe alone. Her departure was not without controversy, however: the government in her home state of Queensland, as well as some of Australia’s most experienced sailors, have urged her not to try. Watson’s attempt comes just a few months after 13-year-old Laura Dekker of Holland was ordered into state care to scuttle her own plans to break the record; the current record-holder is 17-year-old Mike Perham, who completed his circumnavigation in August. 
The summer is officially over and fall is now upon us. October brings the best winds of the year and is the perfect time to view the fall foliage and enjoy the water one last time before winter sets in!
