Youth Sailing

Creating generation next: Skill, Sportsmanship, stewardship and character

Learn to sail on San Francisco Bay and you can sail anywhere – generations of St. Francis Yacht Club sailors are the proof. Wherever you go in the nautical world, our name is known and you don't have to be a member to participate in our programs. 

We coach the whole person, not just the athlete. Youth sports provide opportunities to grow in many dimensions. At St. Francis Yacht Club, our common denominator is a love for the open sky and the freedom of being under sail. Many come to us with a competitive streak because we nourish their need for speed. We provide the best in equipment and coaching, from beginner to expert, from the very young to high school and high performance.

But the experience is greater than that. It’s teamwork, achievement, lasting friendships and going large with Mother Nature. The ocean is a wilderness and we sail on the edge of that wilderness. There is no air fresher than salt air in the Golden Gate, and we're never in short supply.
