Celebrate Summer on the Water
A Passion for sailing, with a customized approach for you
Tom is a dedicated sailor who will guide you through the ropes of what its like to sail a medium-sized “cruiser” sailboat. He is a certified Qualified Instruction by the American Sailing Association (for ASA 101 and ASA 103).
We offer a Sailing Clinic to practice skills. Other customers have enjoyed day outings o a hot July day for Fun in the Sun. We’ve been requested also to charter wedding and engagement celebrations. And even a ceremony for ashes in the sea.
Welcome to Sailing with tom
Take time out from your daily routine and escape to the open water. Add to your tourist visit to the Big Apple by spending an afternoon and evening out on a sailboat watching the sunset.
Located an hour away from New York City, the Long Island Sound is a sailor's playground.
Many customers come to us for hands-on sailing practice. Often they already have some ASA certificate and want to advance their days of sail. Others are first time sailors, at first timid about taking the wheel and then smiling as they begin to feel the wind and adjust the sail. “Sailing with Tom” means plenty of one-on-one time to explore the beauty of sailing.

How to Find Us
We offer a relaxing and very different way to spend the summer in NYC: on a beautiful sunset cruise watching the glorious skies with the Manhattan skyline in the distance. Champagne sunsets, cool breezes. That’s the experience you want for this summer.
fun in the sun: customized outings
“Sailing with Tom NYC” means you have the boat and your skipper free for a sailing outing of your choice. Most new sailors I meet, have already sailed a few times before. They now want more hands-on experience. Others want to charter the boat for a ‘fun in the sun’ swimming time out near the North Shore of Long Island Sound. “Romance and celebrations” are other themes for a customer request. Sometimes even commemorative ash ceremonies.

safety is always Our Priority
The health and safety of our clients and our team is our highest priority.
In the spring of 2020, we were in the midst of the first wave of Covid in New York, and the first facilities to be opened up were golf courses and marinas. Sailing is an excellent way to maintain social distance, with the sea breeze providing extra protection.
The crew operating As One Does maintain strict health guidelines and are all fully vaccinated.
“To call the evening of sailing on Long Island Sound a treat would be an understatement. It was magical, magnificent and so memorable.”
