The Dunewood Yacht Club offers a long tradition of sailing instruction for a wide range of ages and all skill levels. It is one of the only sailing programs on Fire Island and is a staple of the Fire Island community.

The DYC offers instruction on Sunfish sailboats. Sunfish are one person racing boats that can fit a maximum of four people.  After passing a swim test, all students have the opportunity to work with a team of experienced instructors and lifelong sailors. Students are assigned to classes based on age and skill level. The DYC offers the opportunity to make friends—classes are filled of kids from all around Fire Island. Sailing at the DYC is just as much fun as it is educational.

Below is a brief list of what the DYC has to offer. As you can see, there is something for everyone:

Classes: Sailing classes meet Monday through Friday. There are five different classes that meet for an hour each, ranging from beginner’s class for our youngest students to racing class for the advanced students. Racing class students are encouraged to eventually purchase their own Sunfish, but boats are provided by the DYC for all classes. Students have the ability to move up in class as they improve their skills throughout the summer. Classes are available on a weekly basis, starting the last week of June. Rates are:

1-Week Dunewood Resident – $80.00

1-Week Non-Resident – $100.00

1-Month Dunewood Resident –  $300.00

1-Month Non-Resident – $375.00

Private Lessons: Private lessons are also available for all ages upon reservation, seven days a week. While group lessons are geared towards children and adolescents, private lessons are ideal for adults of any skill level or age. Rates are:

1-Hour Child Private – $40.00

1-Hour Adult Private – $50.00

Rentals: Sunfish rentals are available upon reservation, seven days a week. Rentals are limited to very experienced sailors and are left to the discretion of the sailing instructors. In some cases, a sailing instructor may recommend a private lesson before renting a sailboat.

1-Hour Rental – $30.00

Fun Day / Fun Awards: Fun Day typically takes place on the last Friday of August and is a day of sailing games for all kids who have participated in the DYC sailing program throughout the summer. Fun Day also features the Fun Awards, where instructors, students, and parents meet to give funny and playful awards to everyone who has participated in the sailing program. Fun Day and the Fun Awards are two long-lasting traditions of the DYC.

Payment: In the past the DYC has accepted cash or checks made payable to the D.P.O.A. This year we will be offering an online payment method as well. For more information on paying online and/or in advance, please contact Head Instructor Jonah Katz at the email address listed below.
