We believe everyone should have the chance to experience the joy of sailing and being on the water.
- New beginner sail sessions for youth ages 8-17
- Adult evening classes added!
- New Practice Sail courses!
We offer youth and adult sailing programs on Irondequoit Bay that make learning to sail accessible, safe, and genuinely fun.
Our certified instructors create a supportive, hands-on environment where students learn the fundamentals of sailing, safety, and seamanship while building confidence and connection on the water.
Group classes run from late June through July, with private and small-group sessions available throughout the summer. Whether you’re completely new to sailing or looking to grow your skills, we’ll help you discover what makes sailing so rewarding.
Roc City Sailing operates out of the Rochester Canoe Club and is powered by volunteers, community partners, and donors who share our mission of expanding access to the water, and to the joy of sailing, for all.
