You have 2 ways to sail with us this summer: either join our club with the New Member Package ($400) or take us for a test drive with the Sail Into Summer Package ($250).

New Member Package ($400):

A four-lesson on-the-water sailing course geared to your level of sailing experience (basic, intermediate, or advanced). With the new member package you get the same class instruction as the Sail Into Summer PLUS numerous opportunities to get out on the water for free. All of our members get unlimited access to free club sailing with our "Tiller Time." You can also sail for free on our members only cruises. You also will be invited to all of our club social events like barbeques down at the dock or dinners at the yacht club. You can register for a second class for an additional $200. You can access to ongoing high quality, low cost education.

Welcome back! We have been teaching thousands of adults to sail affordably since our program began in 1958, and with the addition of another Colgate 26 to our fleet and another one on the way we are poised to have one of our best years ever.
