What Visitors Love
Heidi, Nicole, and the entire team at Clearwater Community Sailing Center are phenomenal. They handled a high volume of young sailors with grace and organization, while still catering to their other guests. The sailing was great and the hospitality of the team was too. Will be returning soon and cannot recommend them enough!
My son had so much fun renting a sailboat for a couple hours during our spring break vacation. I would highly recommend this place. They were super friendly and helpful. He had to take a 20 question quiz to prove his abilities to sail. Reasonable rental prices for what you get. They even had boats our whole family of six could have sailed on.
I was there attending a wedding on the upper deck. It has an open veranda and indoor area for functions overlooking the intercoastal. Beautiful place for an event. When I arrived the Sailing Center was closing up for the day but I saw lots of young students learning how to handle boats. The facility was clean and well managed. A true community resource.
Great place to go sailing and learn how to sail. Been coming here off and on for decades, staff are super helpful. Annual membership pays for itself very quickly compared to renting boats by the hour. I'm usually bringing someone with me and sailing one of the catamarans. I do the individual membership and then pay $10 per guest
I had a wonderful experience at CCSC. Heidi and Nicole went above and beyond- keeping in touch with me to let me know when the conditions were best for sailing. Location and prices are great !
