Make Sailing ACCESSIBLE for ALL!
TRANSFORMING LIVES through the SPORT of SAILING
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
Dedicated to changing lives by inspiring and empowering disabled and underserved communities, US Veterans, and others with recreational, educational, and healing programs through the sport of sailing
-
Our boats are adapted to fit the needs of the sailors. Participants are encouraged and enabled to help sail the boats vs. simply riding along as passengers.
Our fleet inventory allows us the ability to choose the right combination of equipment for the conditions. We perform in windy and challenging conditions. Cancellations are rare.
Our attitude is friendly and accommodating to our guests. We strive to deliver the best possible experience to everyone.
Our core values – FUN, EFFORT, RESPECT, STUDENT VOICE, and INCLUSIVE.
Our senior sailing instructor is a retired Coast Guard Captain. Our volunteer skippers include world-class sailors and top local talent.
Our robust outreach program is where we make the connection with our community and present our philosophy of how fish and birds correlate to the sport of sailing: “A fin in the water and a wing in the air.”
COMMUNITY SAILING PROGRAMS
ADULT SAILING SCHOOL
Chose your favorite class and schedule it online. Our Basic Keelboat Certification is the most popular package. For continued learning, graduates qualify to take a boat out sailing in our “Let’s Go Sailing” option.
CORPORATE REGATTAS
Experience the excitement of being close to the water on a performance sailboat, competing against colleagues, racing sailboats, and having fun!
VETERANS SAILING
Sailing is a great sport for veterans! It provides camaraderie and teamwork like experienced while serving in the military. Team Paradise offers Veterans Sailing most Thursdays of the year.
SAILING EXCURSIONS
Each sail takes about three hours, with room for a party of four (4). No prior sailing experience is necessary. We provide the skipper and the safety equipment.
YOUTH SAILING
There has never been a more important time to offer healthy outdoor activities to socialize, relieve stress, and provide much-needed fun, and exercise for our youth. We follow US Sailing’s Program curriculum and standards.
GET INVOLVED
Volunteer with one of our community programs, donate to support our work, or partner with us to further our mission to make sailing accessible for all.
