Sailing Camp & Lessons

Fort Walton Yacht Club has partnered with the Emerald Coast Sailing Association to offer the best Summer Camp in Okaloosa County for kids aged 7-18 years old. They offer beginner I & II Summer Camps and have been serving the community since 1992 to help promote the sport of sailing.

If your child has only is new to sailing or only had 1 camp the previous year, it is recommended to do the beginner 1 course. Either way, the sailing instructors will divide the class by the age/weight and then look at beginner 1 vs. 2 applicants. They are focused on having fun and building confidence in sailing, being on the water, decision making, learning and respecting each other. 
 
If your child has completed Beginner 2 and wants to try something new, then it is recommended the “Learn to Race” camp. This course is designed to teach the basics of sailboat racing.

Adult lessons are available for those interested in learning more about the sport of sailing. Our sailing director is available year-round to provide individuals lessons on our boats or yours.
