Club Offerings

Cruise, race, learn, or just enjoy the view—there’s something for everyone at the North Shore Yacht Club.

Come Boating with Us!

Sailing & Power Boating

We offer spectacular sailing and power boating throughout Manhasset Bay and beyond, and our location provides a well- protected mooring field with a fast, easy route to Long Island sound. 

Today, the Club’s fleet ranges from one-design, to ocean going sailboats, state-of- the-art power boats, Lasers, and kayaks, too.

During busy summer weekends, two first-class launches assure prompt, reliable service to and from members’ boats.

Robust education and social events contribute to an environment which generates unforgettable experiences on the water, as well as lifelong friendships.

Boat Sharing Program

The Boat Sharing Program at NSYC allows you, your family, and friends to use a well- maintained Colgate 26 sailboat, without the need to buy, insure, or deal with the tasks that come with owning a boat.

Our boat, Under Toad, is cooperatively maintained by Boat Sharing participants, experienced club members, and paid professionals.

The Program allows use of Under Toad, with all member benefits. Membership in the Program is available to members of NSYC only and runs from May 16th (our Club Commissioning Day) through October.

Racing

In sailboat racing, there are no out of bounds lines on the floor or referees to call fouls. The rules are self-enforced and administered within the fleet. A basic understanding of a set of important rules will ensure that everyone has fun and gets home safely. 

Members are treated to an enticing collection of Club races and Open Regattas made up of one-design and handicapped races.  

The Club prides itself on its skilled racing skippers, their crews and the Race Committees that run the races. 

Participation in ad hoc racing events with other yacht clubs on Manhasset Bay, contributes to the classic “Corinthian Spirit” that all sailors savor.
