It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing that Sailors NYC will not be opening for the 2020 season. The recent COVID-19 crisis took a tremendous toll, both financially and physically on the community, and as a small business - it is beyond our ability to recover quickly enough to be able to run the 2020 season.
After amazing seven seasons in the NY Harbor, where we were able to serve hundreds of local sailors, sailing enthusiasts, and the community, the decision not to operate this season was not easy. Over the past seven years, we were excited to see how our local harbor filled with many more sailboats and sailors on the water, and we are proud to have had a part of this process. Sailors NYC was the first (and still is) the only cruising club in the NY Harbor. Acknowledging that - we are determined to continue our involvement in the local sailing community and beyond. We are taking advantage of this gap year to work on developing additional programs to serve and engage the Jersey City community, with emphasis on empowering youth.
We are grateful for your continuing support in our mission and we are looking forward to seeing you on the water again in 2021! Stay tuned for more details over the next few weeks!
If you have any questions or personal inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact us at any time 201-380-4414 or info@sailorsnyc.com.
Stay safe and healthy!
