Sail Kingston Cove is a non-profit corporation formed in 2015. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors dedicated to assuring the program lives up to it’s mission and goals. Overseeing our operations is our Executive Director who has been with us since 2015. In addition to our volunteer Board members, many parents help us each year with special events and fund raisers. If you are interested in volunteering please contact us. We welcome everyone to join in our mission.
Over those years, we taught more than 1,200 kids how to sail. We receive unwavering support from the Port of Kingston, and the Kingston Cove Yacht Club.
At all times, Sail Kingston Cove has at a minimum one fully certified instructor on duty during all sailing camps offered by Sail Kingston Cove. We are always open to anyone 16 years or older to join our program, and work towards full certification as an instructor, and be a part of our sailing community. Sail Kingston Cove provides an opportunity for our instructors to qualify for a Level 1 sailing certification, administered by US Sailing. Once completed, these instructors are encouraged to continue with Sail Kingston Cove to their 18th birthday, at which time they will be fully certified as a small boat instructor.
Located at the Port of Kingston, Sail Kingston Cove operates off a float provided by the Port of Kingston, adjacent to A dock.

Opti Beginner Camps are a great way to start, learning the various parts of a boat and sails, understanding the basics of single handing sailing. Classes will teach boating safety, how to rig and launch an Opti, and fundamental sailing skills. Learning to tack, gybe, and how to right a tipped boat.
Opti Intermediate Camps are the next step for sailors that have completed our Opti beginner camp, or that have other beginner sailing experience. This camp draws on what beginning sailors already know and teach increasingly advanced concepts. Once complete, sailors are ready to advance to next step of sailing, our race camp for Opti's or, learning to sail our Flying Junior (FJ) double handed sailboats where teamwork is essential to success.
