Sailing Reservation

From Monday through Friday, the Dock Master arrives at 2 p.m. and begins responding to reservations then. Please always make your reservations at least a day in advance. On weekends, our Dock Master arrives at 9 a.m. If you are having difficulty with making a reservation through our website, please call the club office at 212-786-3323.

As a Regular member, you can sail on the club fleet as a crew. We encourage you to meet other members, exchange emails and communicate for sailing opportunities. In addition, you can participate in the popular Fleet Captain Program. Skipper members volunteer to take a boat sailing and crew are assigned in order of registration. This is a good way for new members to get sailing right away and meet other members.

It helps when you make your reservations in advance. The sooner you make your reservation the better. However all reservations must be placed at least 24 hours in advance.

Weekend sails are in high demand. If you sail Friday and make a reservation late Friday night, we may not be able to process it time. Please look at the reservations page before placing a reservation. Sometimes there are too many crew, sometimes too many skippers. Please look first.

Follow up: If you make a Fleet Captain reservation, please check back to make sure your name appears on the list and that a skipper has volunteered.

Timeliness and Reliability: All crew members should arrive at least 15 minutes before their schedule sail and check in with the Dock Master. Once you are assigned to a boat, please start rigging it for the skipper.

Please note: Fleet Captain is a Members Only Program. No guests allowed. If you have a guest who you wish to take sailing and you do not have Skipper privileges, please speak to a skipper you know directly and ask them to take you and your guest sailing outside of the Fleet Captain Program.

Fleet Captain Sail Cancellation Policy

It is important that if you make a Fleet Captain reservation, you show up so a sailing spot is not left empty. Members who sign up but do not show will be assessed a $5 penalty. By making a reservation and not showing, you take an opportunity to sail from another member and inconveniences fellow crew. Cancellation can be made by sending an email to Dockmaster@myc.org or by calling the club on (212) 786 3323.

- Cancellations for morning and afternoon sails must be received before 6:00pm on the day before.

- Cancellations for evening sails must be received before noon of the same day.

Cancellations will not be required if it is actually raining at North Cove in the three hours before the sail is scheduled, though note that many skippers are willing to sail in rain, provided it is not a thunderstorm, and will still welcome crew.
