Raritan Yacht Club Colgate Boat Share Program

The PERFECT program for sailors who want to sail but don't own their own boat! There's just no better way to explore the endless rewards of sailing than being your own skipper.

Raritan Yacht Club hosts an innovative and exciting program that allows you to enjoy sailing without the cost and maintenance of owning your own boat. It is perfect for those looking to build their experience on a "day-sailor" that is capable and safe in a wide variety of conditions. Our five Colgate 26 boats are available from early May to late October - that's six months of access to sailing!

The Colgate 26: The Colgate 26 is large enough to comfortably take out the family, a few couples or a party of up to six. It's small enough to take almost anywhere in Raritan Bay. It can be sailed single-handed or with minimal crew. Read Sailing Magazine’s review of the Colgate 26 here.

Raritan Yacht Club's Colgate Boat Share Program: The annual fee of $1,300 includes all of the costs related to the Colgates: insurance, mooring, launch, repairs, winter storage, gas and of course the boats themselves. The share program is available to all members of RYC. Space in the program is limited to ensure that everyone has regular access to use the boats. Reservations for half day slots are managed by the program’s members to ensure everyone has a chance to use the boats when it's most convenient to them.

It's a Social Thing: The Colgate members run an annual cruise across the bay to one of the many clubs with which RYC shares reciprocity. The annual Cajun boil in the RYC yard has been a terrific success and, of course, as members of RYC we enjoy a fun-filled year full of fantastic events including regattas, an unbeatable view of the 4th of July fireworks, parties, themed dinners and game nights through the non-sailing months.
