City Island is a small community at the edge of New York City located just beyond Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and surrounded by the waters of the Long Island Sound and Eastchester Bay.
The shipbuilding industry on City Island prospered into the 20th century.

In the post-war period, yacht production continued to prosper and City Island has produced seven Americas Cup-winning yachts.
