Learn to sail in Brooklyn

Embark on the sail of a lifetime! At Miramar Yacht Club, we believe sailing is for everyone, regardless of experience. Many of our members, once novices, have embraced the art of sailing by becoming volunteer crew members. Here, sailing isn't just a pastime; it's a welcoming journey for all.

Annual Introductory Class

Join our annual introductory class every June, a perfect blend of instruction, on-water practice, and a delightful barbecue. This class, inclusive for members and open to non-members for a nominal fee, sets you on a course to master the waves.

​

All of our members​ have the opportunity to go out on boats big and small, and members train other members. Every Wednesday evening we have community sails for anyone who shows up, and generally on weekends, show up and someone will offer you a ride. Throughout the year we host events to offer non-boat owners opportunities for experience.

We also have the Ready Boat program, where once skill is acquired, non-boat owners can be approved to take a few of our ready boats out on their own. Non-boat owners are always welcome to go out with approved Ready Boat Skippers.

​

Many, many of our members learned to sail just by coming to Miramar, signing up, and volunteering as crew.
