Joco Marsh, nearly half the size of central park, is NYCs largest marsh, right here in Jamaica Bay. When the ride is high and the wind is right, it's possible to sail through the myriad creeks within the marsh.
The nesting birds of the marsh have left for the season but northern species are starting to trickle in as they migrate through the area from the north.
Canoeing in NYC?? Yes! We are a city of water and theres many hidden places of beauty that are best explored by paddleing. All of what you see here is just a stones throw from our dock on 59 street in rockaway. We rent canoes with all the safety gear you need plus more to make sure your experience is dialed in. We provide tips on places of interest and canoe techniques. Check out our boat rentals page on Www.sailrockaway.com for more info. Have a great weekend!

Sunrise bird tours all this week. We only offer this when the sunrise coincides with high tide so we can slip into the marshes where the most wildlife exists.
Jamaica bay is part of the the apex of what's known as the "New York bight". The unique characteristics of the NY bight are such that massive amounts of migrating birds and fish congregate within it in because of its coastal geography and increased interaction within the gulf stream. In essence the NY bight is the northern coastal terminus of the gulf stream before the stream heads eastward into the Atlantic, which is why swimming in New England, even in the summer, is rather chilly.

The moonrise sail last night was magical. 3 or 4 times a month we have the opportunity to catch the rising full moon somewhat early in the evening. We don't like to sail too late for the moon so we time it for very select dates. Last night moonrise was at 744 and sunset was at 811; a perfect synchronization for our purpose.

It's migration season and our best deals are with sunrise birding tours. These special tours take place during select dates during early morning high tides so we can get into the shallows of the marshes where the birdies do their thing. @jamaicabayguardian
