Sail Central Park sends a heartfelt THANK YOU to the over 7,000 people who sailed with us this season, supporting Rocking the Boat's youth development programs in the Bronx! We were honored to become the new operators of Central Park's beloved model boat pond this May and have been thrilled by the warm welcome from park visitors, both near and far. We’re happy to announce that our sailing season has been extended to November 24!

As a token of our appreciation, we invite you to join us before the season ends for a special weekday offer: Select two boat rentals for the same sailing session, and get your second boat for a friend on us! Simply use the promo code “FRIEND24” at www.sailcentralpark.com or in-person to enjoy the offer.

- Offer valid for one additional 30-minute ($15) rental on weekdays only, October 25 through November 22, 2024. Both boats must be rented at the same time for the same session. One redemption per person. Taxes and fees not included.
