Dinghy and Keelboat Rental Program

Sailors may choose to rent hourly or purchase a rental pass. We have a 2 hour limit if there is a waiting list to rent otherwise you are free to stay on the water until approximately 30 minutes before closing time.

To rent a Sailing Center boat, the skipper must have US Sailing Small Boat Certification (Red Book), which can be obtained after completing a class at the Sailing Center. If a sailor has not taken lessons through the Community Sailing Center, they will be required to take a Basic Sailing Rental Test (written). While the test is not taken on a pass/fail basis, The Community Sailing Center may require that the sailor take a one-hour private lesson before renting. Depending on wind and weather conditions the Sailing Center may also require a practical on the water test.

All renters are subject to the rules and boundaries of The Community Sailing Center, which include wearing a PFD at all times while on the dock and on the water. Minimum age to act as skipper or passenger of a rental boat is 8 years. Every sailor on the boat must sign a waiver attesting to that fact that they are able to swim a minimum of 50 yards and tread water for 5 minutes. Passengers must be 6 years old for keelboat rental and 8 years old for dinghy rental.
