★★★★★jonathan granadosGood trip, good vibes, nice place and amazing people.!
★★★★★Elizabeth KGreat experience all around thanks to our amazing instructor, Wyatt! My husband and I were in Key West for the weekend and didn’t have time for the two-day beginner courses most places offered. I came across Key West Community Sailing, searched through their site, and found a two-hour intro session that fit our schedule perfectly. We had to book a group lesson since private wasn’t available same day, but it turned out we were the only ones there. Wyatt was an incredible teacher—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about sailing. His enthusiasm was contagious, and we loved every minute of it. He completely inspired my husband to continue taking lessons. Thank you, Wyatt!
★★★★★Austen BolvesI went for the Sunday morning open sail. I went with my father and we were both total beginners but after a short and simple introduction lesson from Piper they got us on the water and we sailed around for about an hour and a half. It is amazing that it was free! It is a great program and a great way to test out sailing for total beginners.
★★★★★KidVid2007Piper is amazing!!! 🤩 I took the women’s class with a friend on Saturday morning and it was so very enjoyable! Piper does an outstanding job of teaching in a way that is memorable.
★★★★★GrayseaFree sailing on the weekends! I just got out of the Women’s only sailing on Saturday (Co-ed on Sunday). Best way to spend the mornings on the weekends. All levels of experience welcome! The highly qualified instructors will help wherever it is needed! They have plenty of life jackets for everyone, cold fridge, clean drinking water, cubbies for personal property! Parking for bikes and cars. And many events and get togethers for the whole family, friends, and solo people alike! This is one of the Best none profit community centers and Old school Key West Vibes! Come sail and tell your friends!
