About us
We are the Monmouth chapter of SEAS.
Our web address is: www.sailseas.com/monmouth
If you like to sail or want to learn check out SEAS.
We cruise locally and internationally. We have raft-ups and parties. Our monthly meeting is held at the Keyport Yacht Club. When we get together with other local sailing enthusiasts to share stories, hear speakers and organize outings and have fun.
Our group also owns many boats which are available to members. Many of our members also own their own boats as well. SEAS boats are in Perth Amboy, Fair Haven and North Monmouth Beach.
We sail Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, as as well as all weekends, sailing May through November. We also go on short (2-3 day)and longer over night cruises (7-14 days).
We also teach sailing and mentor at all levels.
I hope to see you on the water very soon.
