Atlantic Yachting

What Atlantic Yachting does

Atlantic Yachting, operated by Sailing NYC LLC, is a private sailing services business founded in 2006 and based at Pier 25 in Hudson River Park, Tribeca, Manhattan. The company operates three product lines: private yacht charters aboard the Vitamin Sea (up to 6 passengers), ASA-certified adult sailing instruction spanning ASA 101 through ASA 103 plus private lessons and practice sail packages, and a youth summer sailing camp for ages 9-15 expanded with a Fall youth program. Charter operations are executed through a partnership with Amerinav LLC, while Atlantic Yachting retains the scheduling, marketing, and customer-facing roles.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model with bookings through the website (Peek-integrated), phone, and email. Distribution is concentrated in New York City with no geographic expansion signals. All revenue streams are one-time bookings/lessons with premium pricing (e.g., $2,490 for a two-week youth camp, $590-$990 for private lessons, $125 for a single practice sail). The company holds no patents, has no funding history, and is independently owned with 1-10 employees. The technical stack is essentially the physical fleet, the Pier 25 mooring, and a SaaS booking tool.

Atlantic Yachting's competitive position is built on 20 years of operating history, USCG-licensed captains, ASA-certified instructors, a 6:1 youth instructor ratio, and media recognition from NBC and the New York Times. The company targets three customer segments: families with children ages 9-15, adult sailing students seeking certification, and private charter guests. Marketing relies on organic social (Instagram, Facebook), review platforms (Yelp, Tripadvisor), word-of-mouth, and earned media. The business is stable, seasonal, and operationally constrained by its single Pier 25 location and small team.
