Making the Sport of Sailing Accessible to Everyone

Since 1967, The Santa Barbara Sailing Center has been introducing people to the lifestyle and sport of sailing. We strive to enrich people’s lives by providing unique on-the-water experiences. We are proud to make boating easily accessible through our professional sailing instruction, skippered sailing charters, bareboat charters, club member activities, kayak and stand up paddle board excursions, and daily cruises along the pristine Santa Barbara coastline. Our mission is to encourage individuals of all ages and levels of experience to enjoy Santa Barbara from the water. We provide a spectacular platform and venue well suited for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, weddings, and family gatherings. We have a comprehensive corporate team-building program which enables companies of all sizes to participate in sail boat races (regattas) , providing a new experience for their employees to grow and develop their leadership skills. We also offer peaceful memorial services for families and loved ones.

It may be beneath the surface, but we’ve changed a lot around these docks. From the products we use to the things we do, we are making moves toward a better planet – one that is appreciated for all it is worth and more. Imagine a world so cared for that it no longer needs protecting.

We are Green Business Certified: we aim to prevent pollution, conserve natural resources, and exceed environmental regulatory requirements.
