Island Sail Staff

Island Sail is a summer sailing program on the island of Vinalhaven , Maine, USA. It is a great place to come make new friends, learn how to sail,  really get out on the water! 

Our sailing program is split up into a morning class for beginners and an afternoon class for more experienced sailors.  Mondays are training and fleet maintenance days for Instructors and Instructors In Training. Camp runs rain or shine Tuesday thru Friday.

We will begin our 2024 program on July 8 , and run weekly through mid-August, when our instructors head back to school.
