Superb sailing from the Statue of
Liberty to George Washington Bridge

Liberty Landing Marina is located in Liberty State Park in Jersey City just across the Hudson River from New York’s financial district. It is easily reached by both public and private transportation including ferry service from Manhattan direct to our dock.

Nearby is the Liberty Science Center, Ellis Island, Environmental/Interpretive Center, the CRRNJ Railroad Terminal Building and Museum, and Hudson River Walkway.

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.
