Who We Are

The Treasure Coast Youth Sailing Foundation, Inc. (TCYSF), located at Jaycee Park in Fort Pierce, Florida, is a 501(3)c non-profit corporation founded in 2006. The primary mission of TCYSF is to introduce the youth of the Treasure Coast to the joys and responsibilities of sailing while teaching water safety, teamwork and the basics of sailing in a fun and safe atmosphere. For many, TCYSF offers their first opportunity for hands-on experience in small boat sailing as a recreational activity. For the more interested and enthusiastic, it may start them on the path toward the competitive aspects of sailing or providing sailing instructions to others. Our Summer Sailing Classes provide the core of what we offer.

Summer 2027

Our next set of sailing courses start June, 2027. We accept bookings starting in March of 2027. It’s going to be a great summer for sailing, we hope to see you here!

Summer Sailing Courses

Our 7 week sailing course is our big event each year. It takes place in June and July and we allow public registration for youths ages 8 – 16. Anyone that registers needs a parent or guardian to sign their waiver. You can register for individual weeks in the course, and we offer a discounts when you register 2 or more spots in the course.

Adult Courses and School Courses

We offer special courses for private lessons and for school or homeschool classes. We love sailing, so take a look at what we offer and reach out anytime.

TCYSF In The Community

TCYSF recognizes a responsibility to the wider community to extend the same opportunities to traditionally underserved groups. We seek out like-minded community groups to join with us in providing free short-term sailing experiences, as well as offering scholarship assistance for students who might otherwise be unable to participate. Supporting these activities has become the primary goal of our fundraising.

We Are A Non-Profit

We are a non profit 501(c)3 and supported by our local community. Please consider donating to us if you want to sponsor growth for local youth sailing. We also consider donations of new or lightly used small sailing craft or marine equipment. Contact us and we can talk about it.
