Who We Are

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.

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.
