MYC Youth Sailing Program – Our Mission

We’re here to give kids a great time on the water while learning to sail safely and confidently. Our goal is to spark a lifelong love of sailing, teach solid skills, and help young sailors grow through teamwork, responsibility, and respect for each other, their gear, and the ocean. With a mix of fun, challenge, and guidance from experienced instructors, we help students become capable sailors with a strong sense of self and good sportsmanship.

Youth Ages 8-17 years

Learn to sail this summer with the MYC Youth Sailing Program! Youth sailors learn to rig, tack, gybe and more!

The Program is open to Beginner and Intermediate level youth sailors between the ages 8- 17. For returning and more experienced youth sailors, opportunities exist to refresh and build your skills in sailing.  

Register today for the session of your choice: If registering multiple sailors, please submit one registration at a time for each student.

Level 1 or Level 2 - Instructors will adjust based on their needs and ability. Instructors reserve the right to move students to a different level if needed to ensure the best learning experience for all participants.
