SAILING SCHOOL

South Shore Nautical Education Foundation, Inc.’s operates as South Shore Sailing School and has a mission to promote the sport of sailing through education and hands-on experiences. Every successful sport starts with programs to get youth involved. We teach the sailing fundamentals needed for new junior sailors to feel confident and safe operating a sailboat out on the water. More advanced instruction is given to those who’ve got the basics down. We also focus adult sailing lessons on teaching the fundamentals and more advanced skills adults need to enjoy the sport of sailing. Join us and join in the fun.
