about the program
The mission of SMYC’s Youth Sailing Program is to provide our youth with the opportunity to learn and enjoy sailing and racing. Sailing nurtures and builds confidence, team skills, self-reliance, physical strength, critical thinking, and a love for the environment.
Our lessons are Monday – Friday after school, from 3:30 to 6 pm. Or on Saturday morning from 9 to 11.30 am, Saturday afternoon from 1 to 3:30 pm.
This is a full-season program, so registration for only a week or month is not available. Private lessons, holiday camps, clinics and fun sails are offered separately.
The 2026/2027 season will start in the week of September 7, 2026.
INFORMATION
SMYC follows the International Yacht Training program structure, with support from the Maritime School of the West Indies. Sailors who reach the required level will receive an internationally recognized sailing certificate at the end
of the season.
