Bad Form: Boating Faux Pas #3

Have you been invited out for a lovely boat ride? Don’t commit these crimes if you want to be asked back!

Spray Sunscreen: We all know how important it is to protect our skin from the sun, but make sure you’re not putting other people at risk while doing it. If you are using a spray on sunscreen on a boat, make sure you spray it into your hand first, and then apply it to your skin. If you spray it in the air, it can cause slick spots on the deck or handrails, which can be dangerous.

So be sure to wear your sunscreen, but apply it the old fashioned way (or better yet have someone else apply it for you)!

A Taste of Sailing

Join Sail Montauk for a Taste of Sailing. Sail with our Captain and experience what it’s like to be crew on a sloop. Hoist the sails, trim the sheets, take the tiller, or just sit back with a cool beverage in hand. Our sailing trips are hands on, so do as much or as little as you want.  All of our captains are experienced instructors, so ask questions and learn some of the basics. 

All boats are equipped with coolers stocked with complimentary ice, soft drinks and water. Feel free to BYOB or bring snacks to enjoy. Connect to our speakers with auxiliary jacks or Bluetooth for a custom playlist.

Bad Form: Boating Faux Pas #2

Have you been invited out for a lovely boat ride? Don’t commit these crimes if you want to be asked back!

Shoes that Scuff: Be sure that you wear shoes with non-marking soles when climbing aboard- or better yet, go barefoot (if safety permits, of course). There’s nothing worse than trying to scrub black scuff marks off a white deck. Boat shoes are, of course, an excellent option, but there are many other non-marking shoes out there. Generally, you should make sure that the bottom and side soles of the shoe are not a dark material, and check the shoe box when you buy. You can also test a shoe by rubbing the sole on a piece of white paper. If it does not leave a mark, you should be in the clear. 

Sunset Sail

Join Sail Montauk for a Sunset Sail! Enjoy a beautiful Montauk sunset on your very own private sail. Like all of our sails, participate as much or as little as you want. All of our captains are experienced instructors, so ask questions and learn some of the basics. Watch the sun setting over the water while sipping champagne with your sweetheart or loved ones.

The Montauk Yacht Club

This summer, Sail Montauk will be making our new home at the Montauk Yacht Club Resort and Marina, and we could not be more excited. For over eight decades, the Montauk Yacht Club has been a landmark destination for the rich and famous. 

The resort we know now began as three separate estates. In 1928 entrepreneur Carl Fisher built the original club, with 20 guest suites and a 60 foot replica of the Montauk Lighthouse. The lighthouse remains a focal point in today’s resort.
