Superb sailing from the Statue of
Liberty to George Washington Bridge

There are roller-blading and walking/jogging trails, bird watching sights and nature walks, a huge lawn for kite flying and picnicking, and lunch and dinner cruises from excursion boats right at the Marina.

Offshore’s classrooms and on-site office are located in the historic lightship at harbor’s edge – a unique nautical experience guaranteed to take you away from the pressures of every day work.
