Venice Yacht Club has been absolutely amazing for our kids. The staff is very friendly and excited to teach sailing to the kids. They have lots of different sailboats and have provided oppertunity for growth as our kids skills have improved.
The club's commitment to youth sailing is evident in their comprehensive programs. Their U.S. Sailing-certified instructors provide expert guidance on the water, using Boston Whalers to ensure safety and effective instruction.
The Venice Youth Boating Association (VYBA), which operates in conjunction with the yacht club, offers a range of summer sailing programs for children aged 6-18, catering to all experience levels. This allows young sailors to progress at their own pace, building confidence and skills in a supportive environment. The club's long-standing tradition of fostering youth sailing, dating back to 1952, has benefited over 4,800 area youngsters, making it a cornerstone of maritime education in the greater Venice area.

The members seem to know each other well but didn’t make any effort to get to know us!? I think it would be helpful to encourage members to mingle and get to know each other better and plan events or a activities for new members so they can get to involved and connected....
