Sailing Along Boston's Historic Waterfront and Beyond
Founded in 1977, the Boston Sailing Center has become the most popular sailing school/sailing club in New England.
About Us
Courses For Every Sailing Level
Our commitment to teaching sets us apart. Over 400 students learn with us every year, making the BSC one of the top adult sailing schools in the country. Yet classes on the water are always small, so you'll receive highly personalized instruction.
Instruction
Learn to Sail on Boston Harbor
We've refined our Learn to Sail course over 45 years, so it combines our own proven lesson plans with the best elements of standardized national curriculums, without ever forgetting that we all sail for fun.
