Breakwater Yacht Club runs a community junior sailing program in Sag Harbor for ages 6-17, sailing its fleet of JY-15s and Optis on the harbor. Sessions are three hours daily, Monday through Friday, in a morning (9am-12pm) or afternoon (1pm-4pm) block, offered as one-week blocks from late June through early September; novices typically spend three to four weeks at the beginner level before moving to intermediate, and a junior racing program covers starts, boat speed, mark roundings and tactics with local PGJSA regattas. The instructor-to-student ratio is 1 to 4 and many instructors are former students of the program. Weekly 2026 rates are $575 member / $725 non-member for beginner and intermediate and $550 / $650 for CIT; life jackets are provided, and each summer Breakwater distributes sailing scholarships to local youth through regional public schools and nonprofits.

★★★★★Jamison CraftThis was a beautiful spot for a family reunion dinner. The view is fabulous, and it is one of the rare spots that gives you a real taste of the beauty of the area. It is simple - not tarted up - but very nice! The manager, Sean, could not have been more helpful. Together with the wonderful caterer he recommended, they gave us an evening that we will not forget. I recommend it highly.
★★★★★MariTangoOne of the prettiest, friendliest places on the East End for charitable get-together. Sag Harbor Express holds their annual boating exhibition, which is a super fun night featuring the Lone Sharks and lots of summer and all year round friends. My son attended kids sailing camp way back when he was 10 years old. He loved it! 1
★★★★★Madeline K.Great place, my kids had a great time at the camp. Down to earth yet attentive instructors who set a fun tone over the entire program. Private lessons are also a solid option
