SAFETY, FUN, LEARNING

Longshore Sailing School is a community boating and rental facility located at the mouth of the Saugatuck River on the Long Island Sound. In addition to our junior and adult learn to sail programs, we offer sailboat, kayak, and paddle-board rentals, provide private lessons, and host private events.

LSS is open to the public - No membership required, no need to own or lease your own vessel to participate in our courses.
