The American Yacht Club of Newburyport is offering its annual sailing school for kids (and adults) this summer 2022. It’s great fun and easier than you think! Supercharge your kids summer by enrolling them for a session or two at the AYC Sailing Camp!
Our instructors lead classroom and on-the-water instruction based on the recommended US Sailing Program curriculum and adapted for sailing on Joppa Flats and the Merrimack River, with plenty of exercises and races thrown in for fun! Skills are built at the student’s pace through five consecutive half day sessions earning their US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certificate.

Adult Sailing School
The American Yacht Club knows that learning to sail isn’t just for youngsters! Our program provides an opportunity for adults to learn the basics of small boat handling and to experience the joy of spending a few early evenings sailing on the Merrimack River.
Adult students learn basic sailing skills, small boat handling, rigging, and safety. As students develop their skills and build confidence, the instructor will appropriately advance their sailing experience on the water through fun based exercises.
