The school was founded in 2004 by Chris Nihill who started teaching sailing in 2001 with the Oyster Bay Sailing School. Chris opened the school with three older boats and the dream to pass on his passion for sailing. Today, Port Sailing owns and operates a fleet of over 30 boats. The Sonar 23 fleet is used primarily for teaching adults to sail. The Junior Sailing program uses a large fleet of Optimists, Open Bics, Lasers, Feva XLs, and c420s.
