Creating lifelong sailors by making the sport of sailing affordable, accessible, and inclusive to Upper Keys and South Miami Dade youth.
With so many sports available to kids today, why choose sailing, you may ask? Just ask any past or present parent from our program and you'll hear a common answer: "Sailing changed my kid." Indeed, sailing helps children develop critical thinking skills and a better understanding of weather, physics, and the marine environment. In turn, these attributes promote responsibility, self confidence, and leadership. Sailing affords high school athletes the opportunity to differentiate themselves from the multitude of students that play the major sports. A commitment to our sailing program will improve their odds at landing at any one of the more than 200 universities around the country with competitive sailing teams. Did you know that most of the top academic schools in the country, including the Ivy League schools, have competitive sailing teams? Just one of the many good reasons our kids should set sail right here in the Florida Keys.
As Franklin D. Roosevelt so eloquently once said:
"To reach a port, we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift."
