Sarasota Sailing Squadron

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re proud of our instructors who make learning to sail such a rewarding experience. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to sail, there’s never been a better time to get started at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron! ⛵️🌞

It may take another decade before passengers set sail, but Sarasota has moved forward with a plan to develop a water taxi service.

Warm, gregarious, and insatiably curious, John travelled extensively and was deeply committed to his community through board and executive service supporting Mote Marine Research Laboratory, the Sarasota Opera, and the Sarasota Sailing Squadron, his home base for sailing and where he served as a commodore. He was also instrumental in the support and operation of the Sarasota Sailing Squadron Youth Sailing Program.

What a fantastic day at the Sarasota Sailing Squadron as we officially christened our newest American 18, Short Sail! ⛵️🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the celebration. It was wonderful to see so many members come together to welcome this beautiful addition to our fleet.

Fair winds and following seas to Short Sail and all who sail her. We look forward to many years of adventures, lessons, races, and memories on the water!
