Meet your captain

Meet Nate, a captain with 15 years of professional sailing experience. Nate started sailing a sunfish at age 9 with his brother at summer camp and on the Schuykill River in his hometown of Philadelphia. After high school he went to maritime school and started working on an America’s Cup race boat before diving deep into the super-yacht industry, working primarily on large sailboats.

Now he splits his time between the Hamptons, Brooklyn, and the Caribbean. He is a certified ASA instructor and is very passionate about sailing and introducing people to the sport. When he’s not sailing, he enjoys paddle boarding, biking, playing guitar, and riding his motorcycle into the sunset.

 

WHY TRUE SAILING

Sailing is our passion and we want to share it with as many people as possible. We offer 2 to 8 hour private sailing trips on several different sailboats in New York Harbor and the Hamptons. Some of our boats take up to 6 passengers and others up to 30 passengers. We also offer weeklong private charters on luxury sailboats for up to 10 passengers in the Caribbean.

We maintain a strong emphasis on service, sustainability, and safety. Our staff will attend to all of your needs and keep you safe as we sail as much as possible and run the engines as little as we can. Our motto: “always be sailing”.
