Englewood Sailing Association has been teaching small boat sailing on Lemon Bay since 2002. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to building confidence, character, and community through sailing. Every year over 150 people from Sarasota and Charlotte Counties and beyond learn to sail with us.
We're a member-based organization. Learn more about our family membership here.
We offer a variety of programs throughout the year:
