Coconut Grove Sailing Club

The CGSC was founded in 1946 on a parcel of land that was deeded by the State of Florida to the City of Miami. The CGSC is operated as a 501-C-7 organization.

All CGSC programs are open to the public.

On any given weekend over 25 children routinely participate in a wide range of programs that are run by US Sailing Certified Instructors.

CGSC has introduced over ten thousand children in the community to Biscayne Bay and the sport of sailing with CGSC's well known US Sailing sanctioned "Learn to Sail" programs. Each child is taught how to rig, sail the boat, and be responsible for a Pram sailboat, a single-handed boat used for pleasure sailing as well as competition by many children of many ages.

In addition to sailing education and race management programs, the CGSC is very community minded. We are generous with our club space, and welcome community non-profit organizations to the club by opening up our meeting room at no charge. The club also offers community outreach programs. We recently have joined forces with the Miami Dade Public School System and their Marine Science Academy.

Today, the CGSC continues to be a leader in the sailing community and continues to stand by its mission by offering adult and children sailing classes, racing, education programs and community service sailing programs.  All sailing instruction courses are sanctioned by US Sailing Association.
