The Shipyard Marina - Hoboken Sailing Club, located in Weehawken Township, New Jersey, operates as a community-focused sailing center on the Hudson River and New York Harbor. The club offers structured programs for youth and adults using performance J80 sailboats.
Programs include a Youth Summer Camp emphasizing water safety, teamwork, STEM learning, and leadership; a Learn to Sail novice course taught over two weekends using an accredited US Sailing curriculum; private lessons on J80s for small groups; and targeted clinics for members focusing on rigging, tacking, skipper skills, crew overboard procedures, and docking.
Several offerings are designated members only, including Skipper Certification, Crew and Skipper Clinics, and a Guest Pass option for member-arranged accommodations. The Skipper Certification is delivered as a focused 1.5-hour certification experience for qualifying members.

The club’s location provides direct access to the Hoboken waterfront and New York Harbor, making it a practical base for introductory and performance sailing activities.
